Luckily, once a year, my girlfriend and I go to Osaka for a dragonboat race in late August. Saw the Osaka Castle one year, made it down to see Hans the next, and then last year we climbed all over Kyoto's temples. Hope to learn to appreciate more this year.

that is a wonderful read. The 1850's were interesting... The Brittish in Hong Kong, Americans in Japan, Gold Rush in California, Texas becoming a State... and I am sure lots that I am unaware. A very very exciting time

Have any of you seen this ? https://news.microsoft.com/apac/features/mixed-reality-museum-kyoto-unique-insight-centuries-old-Japanese-artwork/

You are welcome

Hi bill. Please check your pm :-)

Very much looking forward to Ford working on my Dragons!! Amazing talent

Wish it was a bit closer to HK!

page now missing? " Oops! That page can’t be found.

i have found Markus' price to be quite reasonable for the quality. You are asking for a very specific set of skills, a set of skills that Markus has. Why not use Google translate, then if his rate is the problem

Found his profile. :-) https://www.facebook.com/100012343531718

Same here. I cannot get him to either return emails or comments. I really wanted to purchase one of the Museum books., but he has defriended me on FB, and refuses to respond to my queries/posts requesting information.

Yes I could. But then what would I leave for everyone to comment on?

Hopefully this works[https://www.dropbox.com/s/wuul3dx8xtk22kn/IMG_1526.mov?dl=0]

that is wonderful... I acquired an andon and it had the oil bowl with a ceramic "thing" and I had no idea how it worked. now I understand In one of the links you posted, it mentioned Rapeseed. Canola oil to you Canadians!! I might need to test if it burns as well as the oil for purchase. To make my life easier and safer, I bought a "LED FLAME" lamp that is working wonderfully behind the Andon Screen

I believe that I also bought a couple of things from him with zero problems. He has decent taste!

Looking for more information on this picture and the source

it looks like something has been done to the surface around the signatures... like it has been scratched

i wasn't able to go due to the earthquake. i am looking forward to seeing it after they open up some of the parts. Did make it to Reigan-do though as my profilee pic shows . thanks for the article link!!

why are the mekugi-ana shaped like this?

this is an amazing world that we live in. Members from around the globe are able to contribute electronically, and honor someone that most of us have never met in a Physical sense (Meat Space). From what everyone has said, I can tell that Harry made a huge impact and impression, I am glad that we have this.

Ill PP you $20

Never met him , but from his friends I can tell that he is an amazing guy!! RIP

Thanks for your concern, Guido. Hans and I have had a very long talk and I am certain that he is in a much better place. Everyone goes through troubling times and I believe that it is how we recover from these times that show who we truly are. I will be very proud to see these develop into a stunning work. Remember, it is only a short time ago, that he was one of the recommended artisans on this very board. I am sure that you have had rough times as well. I have made a decision to give him a chance. Please allow the opportunity.

OH.. who has the selection? Hans Koga.
