What was the source of Japan's traditional quality standards?  How were the Japanese able to raise thewomen's cheap ugg classic short boots soft gold 5825 on sale uk usa  quality standards of their handicrafts to that of a fine art? This too, relates to their skill in copying and improving upon things they copy, but in this case it goes back well over a thousand years.

Beginning around 300 A.D. Chinese ideas and products began trickling into Japan, mostly throughKorea and via Korean immigrants to the islands. Along with these women's cheap ugg classic short boots chocolate 5825 on sale uk usa products came the ancient Chinese custom of the master-apprentice approach to the arts and crafts.

But the Japanese didn't just imitate the Chinese and Koreans. They institutionalized and ritualized the women's cheap ugg classic short boots leopard 5825 on sale uk usa master-apprentice training methods, adding to it the concept of kaizen (kigh-zen) or continuous improvement. Within a few generations these products had been totally Japanized and their quality raised to the level of fine arts.

As the generations passed, these institutions and rituals were further strengthened by the introduction of the Zen principles of dispensing with the superfluous and harmonizing life and nature, resulting in masters whohttp://yaplog.jp/xlglovewp could actually achieve virtual perfection in the arts and crafts.

This was the Japan that Westerners first encountered in the 1500s and again in the 1800s, by which time, the Japanese were so conditioned in the principles and practices of quality that they didn't have to think about it. Achieving it was simply the Japanese way of doing things.
