Reader comments
The stories in the book seemed to take me back to that time, and I felt the charm of traditional craftsmanship. Moreover, it is really admirable to see the author spending decades visiting these craftsmen and recording their stories. I think this book not only tells history, but also inherits a spirit. I recommend you take a look, you will definitely gain something different!
