Los artesanos del barrio, 1

The Artisans of the Neighborhood is an anthology set 300 years ago in Kanda, a neighborhood located in the heart of Tokyo and now part of Chiyoda, considered the financial and political center of Japan, as it is home to the Imperial Palace. "He who shows absolute willingness but no skill is worthless as an artisan." A cooper, a blacksmith, a dyer, a tatami mat weaver, and a group of plasterers. All of them, tireless, dedicate themselves each day with zeal and skill to their trades in the neighborhood where they live. This is the daily life of the artisans of Kanda in historical Japan during the Edo period.
