The Old Ghosts: The Search for Shokunin 職人 | Official Film

Added on December 15, 2025
Traveling opens our eyes to new ways of life. It fuels creativity and can shape perspectives — even on things we know intimately, like golf. This fall we traveled to Japan with a mission to simply understand a golf destination better. What we uncovered was so much deeper. Guided by a Tokyo man (who is originally from North Berwick), we explored one of the most spectacular golf courses carved into the volcanic cliffs of the Izu Peninsula. We spent time with two creatives crafting meticulous golf accessories in Tokyo. Then we followed the trail south to Osaka to better understand the Japanese concept of shokunin through the eyes of a denim maker.

The resulting journey became our first film, The Search for Shokunin, presented by Titleist. We hope you enjoy it.
