The book "Shokunin" celebrates Japan's cherished artisans and the regions they call home. From mask makers in Kyoto's suburbs to sword smiths in Kanazawa, Shokunin is carefully designed and organized region by region, featuring curated itineraries filled with lesser-known destinations and local insights.
Japan is home to some of the world's most treasured "shokunin". The word can be directly translated to "artisan" or "craftsman" in English, but the Japanese meaning goes far deeper. A true shokunin is someone who dedicates their life to mastering their craft; it is a rejection of mass-produced standardization and a personal responsibility to preserve traditions for future generations.
