Explanation and Etymology - (職人) shokunin
職人 is a Japanese word meaning "craftsman" or "skilled worker". It is composed of the kanji 職 (shoku), which means "occupation" or "work", and 人 (nin), which means "person". The word originates from the Edo period (1603-1868), when Japanese society was divided into castes and professions were rigidly defined. The 職人 were specialized workers who mastered a specific technique, such as carpenters, blacksmiths, weavers, among others.
