For many centuries and generations, Japanese artisans have continually strived to improve their products. Whether it's swords, ceramics, wood saws, paintbrushes, or fishing rods, these craftsmen have always strived to perfect their craftsmanship. Today, it may certainly be possible to produce these items more cost-effectively or quickly than in the past, but the quality and pursuit of perfection remain unsurpassed. For these artisans, 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 showcases 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.
