I’m not a professional, I’m not an authority, I’m just a cabinet maker who got interested in Japanese furniture. Over the years that interest expanded into all aspects of Japanese society, past and present. So far my interest has lead me halfway to the source, the island of Oahu, Hawai’i, to continue my research. One day I will continue the hop across the big Pacific pond, but until then, this site will serve as much of a learning tool for me as well as a means to share my interests. Thanks for stopping by.
