artisan, workman, carpenter
匠 centers on a skilled craftsperson who makes things by hand: an artisan, workman, or carpenter. The idea is mastery of a manual trade.
匠 combines 匚 (a container or box) with 斤 (an axe). The traditional explanation is that it represents a carpenter's tool box with an axe inside, symbolizing a skilled woodworker or artisan.
Picture a toolbox (匚) with an axe (斤) inside. The person who uses these tools is a skilled artisan or carpenter.
For ショウ, imagine a master carpenter showing off a finely crafted box: show -> ショウ, and inside the box is his favorite axe.
