Kyoto photographer Kosuke Okuda and I teamed up to do an article for the Russian travel magazine Afisha Mir (Афиша-Мир). I just got a PDF of the article — hot off the server!
In the article I introduced the long history of Aritsugu which was founded in 1560. Aritsugu is one of the most famous makers of traditional Japanese knives and they are found in good kitchens all over Japan. We focused on the special eel bone cutting ‘honegiri’ knife that is used for the traditional Kyoto summer delicacy of ‘hamo’ pike eel. The knife is over 40 cm long, weighs more that 500 gm and costs more than $1,000 USD!
I wrote it, but I can’t read it!!

Omamori is the word for talisman or amulet in Japan. Omamori are sold at most every temple and shrine in Japan. Recently, I have been invited to design some new and stylish ones for a company in Kyoto that is a purveyor of them to the temples and shrines. It is hard to believe that I, a ‘gaijin’ have been invited to participate in the design and development of these most Japanese things. I have started out making some prototypes.
