In Japan, a shokunin is anyone who is takes his or her art seriously no matter if it is making sushi or making a yumi or Japanese bow. There is a technique for doing everything and there is also a way to master that technique as well. Lots of times I post things here to help give the students a little bit better perspective on their own Aikido training. I found this video of a Japanese master bow maker. Please try to notice the care and detail he puts into his work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-4yUhW73vU
