Thank you for posting those pictures. I enjoyed looking at them. My husband and I lived in Japan for 5 years. We came back to the states about 19 years ago. We love the U.S. but we do miss Japan.
At the time that we lived there, I didn't meet any Japanese quilters. (That doesn't mean there weren't any quilters...it just means I didn't meet any.) I would find it very interesting to see how they make their quilts.
