Explanation:

Hi. You have not submitted the original text that this question refers to. This makes it difficult for your question to be answered. However, when researching your question on the internet, I was able to find another question like yours that featured the original text. This text showed that the Japanese art of boat building is very difficult to learn, because it is something that requires a lot of patience, as knowledge is acquired slowly. This type of work does not match the agility of modern life that people are used to and this makes them not interested in becoming apprentices to boat builders.

Boat builders are retiring and all knowledge of artistic boat building is retiring with them, as they do not have any apprentices to continue the work. For this reason, it is likely that the next generations of Japanese people will lose their mastery of this art.
