People in China don’t make only imitations.

Many people from other countries including South Korea think of China as a country of imitation. Actually, I don’t know about China really well even though I have been here for more than ten years, but only people who don’t really know about China say like that. 

People in China don’t make only imitations. There are lots of master craftsmen in China who produce bags with a delicate touch. I don’t know about his career, but he is really confident of bags that he made. When I was in Yiwu, I knew one Korean-Chinese graphic designer. He was really different in a way of thinking and hand movement from other ordinary people. He created something he imagines ‘creatively’ with his hands. 

When I explained my idea, he always mixed his creativeness and my idea and created a fabulous product beyond my imagination. He had much pride and self-esteem in himself. He was confident of showing his own style vividly rather than just operating. 

Then, I recognized his career. People in South Korea also make imitations because they are sold really well. Our Chinese masters are ready. 

There are not only master craftsmen only in Japan, Italy, and France. I am really surprised by the fact that there are lots of masters in China. 

For the masters, we try to do something valuable. They will recognize us soon. 

It’s not so long…
