“You’re on duty til you die, you know, as a craftsman.”

If we had a list of our favorite things, Japanese master craftsmen and Monocle would be on it.
If we had a list of our favorite things making things together, this video would be right near the top. There’s no substitute for time, process, and long-term passion, or as Shimada Takayuki puts it:
“You’re on duty, you know, until you die as a craftsman.”
Take the opportunity to follow this link to the monocle website where you can get lost in the rest of their videos.
