As he tells his story, along as his sons which work for him, he explains the dedication and the art of putting effort into anything you do. Some clips of the film, show him preparing his food and the seriousness of doing so. Also how time consuming food preparation is, that customers must make a reservation a month prior. Also paying a minimum of 30,000 yen, which is equal to $250 U.S Dollars, not to mention the additional cost for the variety of sushi you purchase.

One of the things he says is, “Once you decide your occupation, you must immerse yourself in your work.” Another interesting point that he says that justifies what I’m about to say, is “You have to fall in love with your work.” And lastly, “You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill.” Going back to my point, I think the reasoning behind watching this was to show us, that whether it is art or anything else we desire to be, we should put our full efforts and passion into being the best.

    The great Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) one said, “I have never let schooling get in the way of a good education. The author Malcolm Gladwell wrote about a proposition of needing 10,000 hours of working at a craft to become really good at it, if not a master. I can agree with this statement, in that amount of time, repetition and sheer experience lead to a higher quality of work. Likewise, over time you begin to see patterns in what you are working with.…

Developing into this interest, I started writing my own medical journal, where I took notes from a book called Gray’s Anatomy and from the medical dramas I watched.…

    Preus suggest that in the past, xenophobia, the fear, and hatred towards foreigners, explains why many nations used to isolate themselves from the rest of the world. The protagonist of Heart of the Samurai, Manjiro becomes aware that the isolation of Japan has a direct impact on the way he perceives the world. To illustrate this, Manjiro has difficulty coping with the differences between American and Japanese cultures especially when he witnesses the cruel slaughter of whales by these blue-eyed barbarians. As a Buddhist, he knows “it [is] wrong to kill- not just people, but living creatures”; however, people in his village ask for forgiveness for taking the life of a fish, especially big creatures like whales (Peus, 2010). On the contrary, Americans seem too busy imagining how many barrels of oil they will add to their cargo to be worrying about the spirit of the whale or the ceremony they should do to “express gratitude to the [creature] for the gift of its life” (Preus, 2010).…

    Throughout this course I have gained more of an appreciation for artwork and the artists that create them. I have also gained an appreciation for the people that try to define what art is in general or more specifically what makes good art. We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their thought with our class, I feel I am in a much better place as to define what makes good art myself. I define art as anything created by someone that inspires another to appreciation.…
