I am an American visiting an old village in Japan that’s popular with
tourists. Part of the charm of the main street is the locals engaging in
age-old crafts outside their places of business, from traditional mochi-making
to calligraphy. It’s mostly for the tourists, of course, but it’s still
charming.
Another American family is touring nearby. The two sons — the oldest is maybe
seven — are impressed with everything they’ve seen so far.
Boy: “Dad! Dad! Look!”
Dad: “Yeah, that’s cool.”
Boy: “That man is 3D-printing a chair!”
I quickly turn to look, and I see that the boy is impressed with this old
Japanese carpenter shaving off some unwanted pieces of wood from the side of a
stool he is making.
Dad: “Ooh, boy. Okay, son, let me tell you what carpentry is…”
Share and enjoy,
