I asked Mr. Ichibei Iwano, Living National Treasure, to see my works painted on his handmade paper. I didn't think I used his paper very well, but I just wanted to tell him that I AM using his paper.

Many artists don't use his paper but just keep it in stock feeling it is too precious to use. The all artisans here really want to know what you feel with their paper after you use. But they seldom hear the consumers opinion.

He asked me, ` So how did you feel ? `  

He gave me a horse brush to use.
