Japanese woodturning

[Peter Jacobson]

Hi, my wife and I will be visiting Japan this Fall and I thought it would be fascinating to see some traditional Japanese woodturning in action. Does anyone here know of any turning studios that would welcome visitors? We will mostly be in Tokyo, Kanazawa, and Kyoto. Thanks.

A friend just came back from Japan and visited two very accomplished turners. Message me and I'll send you contact details.
