A story about the Japanese art of shokunin — doing one thing, slowly, all the way through.
Hana wanted to make mochi. She thought it would be easy.
She was wrong. But that was only the beginning.
When Hana visits the mochi maker at the end of her street, she discovers that Ojii-san has been making the same thing — slowly, carefully, completely — for fifty years. She wants to rush. He shows her why she shouldn't.
And when she finally lifts her hands from her own small piece of mochi — imperfect, lopsided, entirely hers — she understands something that no shortcut can teach.
Shokunin (say it: "show-koo-nin") is a Japanese word for a craftsperson who devotes their entire life to one pursuit — not for perfection, but for devotion. The sushi chef who has spent thirty years on rice alone. The woodworker who makes the same joint ten thousand times. The mochi maker who arrives before dawn every morning.
Perfect for readers ages 4–7, Shokunin is a warm and satisfying picture book about focus, patience, and the quiet pride of finishing something all the way through.
"Doing it all the way through."
