History [edit]

The adjective "artisanal" is often used in describing hand out-processing in contrast to an postindustrial work, such as in the phrase artisanal mining. Therefore, "artisanal" is sometimes ill-used in marketing and advertising as a buzz word to describe OR imply some relation with the crafting of handmade food products, such as bread, beverages or cheese. Some of these have traditionally been handmade, rural or pastoral goods but are also straight off commonly made on a larger scale with automated mechanization in factories and other industrial areas.

Artisans were the dominant producers of commodities before the Industrialized Revolution.

In past Greece, artisans were drawn to agoras and often built workshops nearby.^[1]

Medieval artisans [edit]

During the Dark Ages, the term "craftsman" was applied to those who ready-made things or provided services. It did not apply to unskilled manual labourers. Artisans were branched into two clear-cut groups: those who operated their own businesses and those who did not. Those who closely-held their businesses were called Edgar Lee Masters, while the latter were the journeymen and apprentices. One misunderstanding umpteen citizenry induce about this social group is that they pictorial matter them as "workers" in the modern horse sense: employed by someone. The most potent group among the artisans were the masters, the business owners. The owners enjoyed a higher friendly status in their communities.^[2]

Shokunin [edit]

Shokunin is a Japanese word for "artisan" or "craftsman", which also implies a pride in one's own study. In the words of shokunin Tashio Odate:

Shokunin means non only having technical acquirement, but also implies an attitude and friendly consciousness... a friendly obligation to work his best for the general welfare of the people, [an] obligation both corporeal and ghostly.^[3]

Traditionally, shokunin honoured their tools of trade at 1-Jan – the sharpened and taken-give care of tools would be placed in a tokonoma (a container or box still found in Asian nation houses and shops), and ii Elmer Reizenstein cakes and a tangerine (on top of rice paper) were arranged on top of for each one toolbox, to honor the tools and express gratitude for performing their labor.^[3]
