Craft
Did anyone ever ask you: what is your craft? That’s a different question to: what is your job, your career or your profession? A craft is any activity that requires a high level of skill, which you patiently hone over time. A craft is also something that you love doing for its own sake, where you derive joy from the process and take pride in the outcome. This is the spirit of what the Japanese call ‘takumi’. It is no coincidence that we often refer to ‘master’ crafters, because pursuing a craft is inherently a journey towards mastery.
