Takumi of Japan
Master artisans known as "Takumi" are the backbone of the traditional crafts of Japan. These takumi painstakingly work on their crafts with the strong conviction that they never put out any item they are not completely satisfied with. Many takumi finish their works with a signature or stamp that represents the passion and spirit they put into it.
