Greetings,
Does anyone have information on pre-Edo Japanese apprenticeship timetables?
A source on when a craftsman would be considered more than a journeyman or considered a master?

I am not sure, but I suspect it greatly depends on a number of factors including age and skill, as well as the craft.
A student of the sword might be considered a "master" in 6 months, but this seems to presume a lot of prior experience.

In Europe, weren't most of those timetables established by the guilds for particular crafts? Did Japan have the same kind of formal guild structure? No sources on pre-Edo, but you can read a lot of what Toshihiro Odate has to say about his 20th century apprenticeship to a Tategushi. From his experience, you're a Journeyman when the Master starts sending you out on jobs by yourself, and you're a Master when you can get enough business on your own to start your own shop. |
