It seems like anything the Japanese do they make it into an art - bonzai, flower arrangement (I forget their word for it), even drifting in auto racing. I think anyone except a woodworker might think of what we do as just a trade or craft in American culture. But it involves creativity and to me that makes it an art. When I say the Japanese make it into an art - I mean they don't perceive it the same way we might. I don't know how to explain it fully it's just an idea I have and I'm probably putting way to much thought into the subject.worknhard wrote:It’s great to see the creative work of young students who are encouraged to push the “design envelope”… it is very inspiring.
