Travel - Japan - Part II

This was my first trip to japan. It was supported by the Gurli and Paul Madsen foundation and many other funds. The main goal was to visit a lot of craftsmen and to work in several Japanese companies for three months.

The second place I worked with for one and a half months, was with Mr. Norio Fukushima - a famous master box maker in Kanazawa. Fukushima sensei taught me so much about traditional Japanese cabinetmaking techniques and tools. He is truly a unique craftsman.

In Fukushima's workshop I made a Juu-bako stackable box for the Japanese tea ceremony. It was made in Keyaki and jindai Katsura wood.
