Japan 2003 - Part II
This was my second trip to japan. It was supported by the Gurli and Paul Madsen foundation and many other funds. I had arranged to visit a lot of craftsmen and to work in several Japanese companies for three months. In Kanazawa I worked with mr. Norio Fukushima for the second time, focusing on learning the Kumiko crafts. In Asahikawa I visited all the interesting woodworking companies and small workshops. In Takayama I made a slide show for the woodworking students at Takumi Juuku.
