No, never been to Japan. Sounds interesting. Japan quilts are some of the most intricate quilts I have ever seen.

I have been several times. One time I attended an informal lecture by a well-known Japanese quilt artist. They had various boxed lunches and we sat in a section of Tokyo Dome and had lunch while she spoke. I didn't see how much a tour to the quilt show would be, but it would be difficult for some people to go on their own.
