The pursuit of perfection
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
For many centuries and generations, Japanese craftsmen have continually worked to improve their products. Whether it is swords, ceramics, wood saws, paint brushes or fishing rods, these craftsmen have always strived to perfect their craftsmanship. Today, it may certainly be possible to produce these items more cheaply or more quickly than in the past, but the quality and pursuit of perfection remain unmatched. For these craftsmen, the pursuit of perfection is not only a duty, but also a source of fulfillment and a central purpose in life.
The Pursuit of Perfection features the masters of their craft and provides insight into their humble workshops. It describes the intricate manufacturing processes, celebrates the timeless and simple beauty of their traditional products and tells of the often rural settings of the small towns and villages from which they originate.
