? I have long heard friends recommend the book "Craftsman Spirit" by Mr. Li Hui Akiyama, but I have been unable to buy it for personal reasons. Fortunately, there is still some fate between me and it. My friend bought it and lent it to me.
? The book is not long, but after reading it, I deeply feel that it is really admirable to see Mr. Akiyama's spirit, concept and practice of cultivating an apprentice into a first-class furniture craftsman in eight years in a modern society that emphasizes quick effect, excitement and creativity.
Artisans, in the dictionary, refer to craftsmen with technical expertise. The feudal society that lasted for thousands of years in China was backward in science and low in productivity. If you master a craft or technology, you can settle down and live on it for a lifetime to support your family and even your descendants.
We are familiar with carpenters, blacksmiths, masons, masons and tailors. All industries have their own ancestors. The inheritance of folk skills often appears in the form of inheritance from generation to generation and mentoring, which is a relatively close mentoring relationship. The master has the dual relationship of "teacher" and "father". Apprentice and master have a knowledge and technology inheritance relationship, and also have a personal attachment relationship similar to that of father and son. Apprentices can learn skills from the master, and the master's world outlook and values also affect apprentices, which is the reason why "a great teacher makes a great apprentice".
However, there is a saying in China that "teaching disciples to starve to death" is a wise saying in the eyes of many people. Many craftsmen will leave their skills when teaching their apprentices, which makes many excellent and exquisite skills missing or even lost.
In modern society, the relationship between master and apprentice has basically disappeared. With the rise of various technical schools, it is easy to master a technology. But how to become an excellent "craftsman" and realize his own value is not clearly defined and taught by any school.
? Japan's inheritance and persistent spirit of craftsman tradition has long been deeply rooted in the universal values of society. In recent years, influenced by western society's quick success and instant benefit, Japan is inevitably lost and affected. In 1970s, the furniture industry began to popularize "modular furniture". Many guests feel that this kind of cheap and convenient furniture is very good, and the workload of craftsmen is affected and gradually reduced.
197 1 year, 27-year-old Li Hui Akiyama founded the custom-made furniture "Akiyama Woodworking" with the concept of "if we can't cultivate new craftsmen who satisfy customers and belong to the 2 1 century".
There were only three people at the beginning of the business, and now it has become a workshop of 34 people, with annual sales of about 654.38 billion yen. Designed to provide customers with first-class furniture with reliable technology, carpenters can use furniture for 100 or 200 years.
He believes that a person's power to become a first-class craftsman is weak, and his task is to pass on all the skills and spirit of Japanese carpenters to the next generation of young people, hoping to cultivate ten craftsmen whose standards exceed their own. These ten will train ten more craftsmen than them, so that we can train one hundred "superstar" craftsmen. If this chain continues to develop, we can continuously cultivate first-class craftsmen in the sustainable era. Only in this way can Japan's excellent technology be carried forward and spread to the world.
? Up to now, Mr. Akiyama has trained 50 "generalists" in 40 years, who are active all over Japan and even show their talents abroad.
? When Mr. Akiyama was young, he took the last bus before the Japanese apprenticeship died, and inherited the genes of close contact with the master to inherit his skills, which later became the blueprint of the craftsman training system of "Akiyama Woodworking".
? In order to train the ignorant young apprentices into first-class furniture craftsmen, "Akiyama Woodworking" has developed a unique talent training system for eight years. One-year preparatory course, four-year apprenticeship, three-year apprenticeship, eight-year self-reliance, or stay or go, and join the WTO.
? Those who want to enter Akiyama School have to go through all kinds of training for ten days before they can enter the school. "Akiyama Woodworking" issued the following ten rules for students and apprentices who aspire to become carpenters:
? Through repeated recitation, the standards of first-class craftsmen can penetrate into their subconscious.
Some people question that the requirements of "Akiyama Woodworking" are too strict, but Mr. Akiyama thinks that since it is "first-class", it should be obviously different from ordinary people. Without a "super" first-class personality, people can't be moved by work alone.
Anyone can master a skill through repeated practice, but his mind and intelligence cannot be improved by this method. Only through collective life can we cultivate the heart of thinking for others, caring for others and being grateful. Among them, the most important thing is filial piety. People who are not filial can't be first-class craftsmen. Therefore, the evaluation standard of Qiushan woodworking is 40% skill and 60% conduct.
Li Hui Akiyama has always believed in one sentence: If you have a first-class mind, you must have first-class technology. Therefore, in daily study, we should not only sharpen students' skills, but also pay attention to sharpening students' character. If his character is not first-class, no matter how superb his skills are, he will not be recognized as a real craftsman by Qiushan Woodworking.
? Throughout the eight-year talent training system, "constantly breaking free" runs through.
? "Longevity"-learn from the master, imitate the psychological structure as a craftsman, and learn everything a craftsman must have, such as life attitude, basic skills, procedures, experience and technology.
? "Break"-the stage of turning the basic form taught by the master into one's own skill. By groping and making mistakes at the same time, you can add your own ideas to the form of a master. At this point, if there is no solid foundation, it is not feasible to modify it yourself.
? "Separation"-the stage of creating a new realm, that is, independence from the master.
It is precisely because of this emphasis on inheritance that the number of Japanese longevity enterprises ranks first in the world. Nine in the Millennium, 39 in 500, 34 16 in 2000, and more than 50,000 100.
? Compared with the pursuit of ultimate beauty and Excellence in the craftsman spirit, I think how to achieve a better and more complete inheritance is the most worthy of our consideration and reference. What is more commendable is that Mr. Akiyama gave the definition of first-class craftsman and the way to achieve first-class maturity.
? Every job has a "skill". If you hold the idea of "I only do what I pay", you won't have real strength. Even if it seems to be a detour, if you can endure and concentrate on your studies, and thus cultivate first-class brains and professional skills, you can still live as a first-class "craftsman" in the next few decades.
If you want to do things well, you must first do people well. This point has long been recorded in the old adage of China: "If you achieve something, you will achieve something", "Virtue comes first, skill comes later" and "When you grow up, you will achieve something later".
No matter in what industry, if you want to be a first-class talent, you must believe in your ability. In order to give full play to one's abilities, basic skills are necessary. When I was young, I laid a solid foundation both mentally and physically, and I will never go astray. Don't forget to practice basic skills repeatedly at ordinary times, and don't forget your initiative, and you will certainly make continuous progress.
