Ingenuity requires all one's efforts to stick to it. Although this is an era of fast consumption, in the basement of a Tokyo office building, Jiro Ono's Sukiyabashi Jiro allows people to experience the craftsmanship and deliciousness of a master's lifetime. I can't help but think of my late grandfather. Although my grandfather is unknown after all, and cannot be called a "master", he has always said that he is a bamboo craftsman (using bamboo to weave various objects, such as bamboo baskets, rocking chairs, etc. ). When he was a child, his family was poor, and when he was a teenager, he was sent to be an apprentice to a craftsman in the village. His grandfather was very clever and skillful, and he learned things quickly.
But he never lost his skills. He and his grandmother raised 7 children by farming and contemptuous work. Besides the aunt, all 6 children went to elementary school, and my mother went to high school. My mother said that my grandfather was very sincere as a buddy, and other craftsmen cut corners, but he never did. The things he made were durable and beautiful. But he often said that if you can't control others, you can always control yourself. Later, when he was 72 years old, he still liked to stay in the yard by himself slicing and drawing bamboo, watching the bamboo strips fly in his hands, and beautiful bamboo products appeared, I often said to my grandfather that I would grow up Become a smith. But my grandfather said that bamboo work was useless. After all, when he passed away, my uncles didn't learn his craft, and I couldn't do it either.
Ono Jiro is lucky, the food is popular and easier to pass down, and his children are also doing it. It's not like his grandfather, who has no successor, his ingenuity has gone with him, which is too regrettable. But what I regret more is that in this era, the spirit of ingenuity is getting further and further away from us.
To the craftsmen, respect the ingenuity!
