REVIEW
“So amazing! Everyone has been asking me all about the trip because of my photos. I had the best time ever and would have never been able to see the things we did without you! Thank you!”
“Thank you for everything! Your insights & intuition, patience & understanding, amazing & adventurous planning & attention to important details (like having hotels near the train stops). All of the special arrangements (like private buses) to amazing textile sites. Of course, I can’t leave out the great food (especially the picnic under the cherry blossoms) & the hot baths for R&R.
You thought of every detail and were so accommodating and thoughtful of our individual needs.
This was truly a trip of a lifetime for me that I will always treasure.
Japan is such a special country, spotless, clean, modern, historic, very scenic, but most of all it’s the Japanese people that stand out the most. Kind, thoughtful, considerate, honest, respectful, generous, helpful, conscientious.
Thank you again for all that you did to make this an amazing experience.”
“Thank you again for a wonderful whirlwind tour of Japan’s textiles! You did so much!!!! I really appreciate everything you did.”
“Thank you again for a wonderful time!
I appreciate all the experiences you lined up for us, and so much more!”
“Everyone in the group talked about how hard you had to work for us. Have some extra nihonshu atsukan. (I could always remember the first word but not the second).
Juliet and I each had so many transformative, inspiring, numinous experiences — Juliet in art, and both of us in everyday culture — that it will take us weeks, months, years to process it all. But I will share photos faster.
Thanks again.”
