Travel - Japan - Part I

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 first company I worked with for one month, was Nakamura Komuten - a famous Tea house building company in Kyoto. I helped building a cabinet for one of their wonderfull houses and studied intensely on all the intricate joinery that the master carpenters made. One weekend I also visited the Takenaka museum of woodworking tools.
