Fifty Years with Wood: A Cabinetmaker Speaks (JLPT N2)

A seventy-year-old cabinetmaker in Tokyo reflects on fifty years of working with wood in this JLPT N2 reading. In a small workshop in the old shitamachi district, Takada Makoto speaks candidly about why he once quit woodworking, why skilled craftsmen grow more afraid with age, and what he wants the next generation to understand about tools and patience. Formatted as a Japanese interview with four question-and-answer exchanges, this intermediate Japanese piece blends spoken register with N2 grammar patterns such as mono no, ni shite wa, dokoroka, and te koso.
