I am so happy and fortunate that I had the opportunity to take this tour to Japan with Yoshiko Wada.
A wonderful trip, full of experiences, beautiful fabrics and delicious food. I met skilful artisans - masters in their own field and shared all this with a group of enthusiastic people from all over the world. My Japan tour was a dream come true.
It all begun in Arimatsu where we learned shibori techniques at Mr Tsuyoshi Kuno's studio.
