Old woodworking technology experience
Welcome to the studio!
My workshop is located in Gifu prefecture, almost in the center of Japan. It is also the gateway to Hida Takayama, the Hida area known to travelers. It was the first station named Hida on the JR West Takayama Line. This town is located on the border between Hida and Mino, and the maze-like alleyways called "Kinkotsu" remind me of the scene in Hayao Miyazaki's animation "Spirited Away 千と千尋の神隠し". There are also other astronomical observatories built by the ancients. It's in a very mysterious place and it's a place known to scholars. And this city is very friendly to people from abroad! For more than 30 years, we have been conducting an international exchange program with Ketchikan, Alaska in the United States, and we send junior high school students and language teachers to each other every year. There are many citizens who do not speak English but can communicate with each other. It's very unique.
