Shokunin of the web

Bruce Lawson

'Shokunin' is a Japanese word often translated as 'artisan'. But the woodwork master craftsman Tasio Odate writes, "such a literal description does not fully express the deeper meaning. The Japanese apprentice is taught that shokunin means not only having technical skills, but also implies an attitude and social consciousness… The shokunin has a social obligation to work his/her best for the general welfare of the people." Bruce will look at the web standards and the mindset required to be a Shokunin of the web.
