This work comprises an analysis of cultural abilities that affect the social growth of artisans, The analytical core of the work consists of three qualitative case studies conducted as field investigations by the author of the work. The findings of the case studies carry the following implications for immigrants as culture spreaders. These findings are as follows. Three cultural abilities were found to be related to the social growth of artisans: The ability to discover the value of culture, the creative ability to design a culture amid the mundane of everyday life, and the cultivation of education and learning capabilities in order to socially disseminate and inherit cultural values. The cultural abilities of Japanese artisans may serve as lessons for immigrants who are cultivating their own resources as cultural spreaders and engaging in cultural exchanges socially.
