If you have been wondering how these cars you see on the road are being produced. Don’t worry, the mystery is all about to be over with this incredible 60,000-hour tutorial video launched by Lexus, a subsidiary of a Japanese giant automaker, Toyota. This long video will teach you what is needed for a Takumi Master to make a car. When you take a peep at the Lexus website on craftsmanship and Takuma living, this is what you will see:
It takes 10,000 hours to become an expert but 60,000 hours to become a Takumi Master. Those were the exact words that you would see on the Lexus website about craftsmanship and Takumi living.
This shows the special tribute and acknowledgment by Lexus to these people who have put time, effort, and non-relenting dedication to craftsmanship. These are people who make things by their hands. Takumi when translated to English means “artisan”.
In the documentary that will soon be made available to people on 19th of March, this year by Lexus, will show the 60,000 hours of video on the biographies of four Takumi Master craftsmen and their remarkable efforts and repetition of efforts without taking a short cut. The essence of this video is to examine to what extent human craftsmanship will survive in this period of artificial intelligence.
