Hi Flowerbossa!
Did you attend any of his lectures.. I know of a friend who did. It must be really interesting.
Take care.
Love,
Hyds
Hello Hyds!
Yes, I had the pleasure of attending his lectures - in fact, I was there to help out with the reception at the Meguro Gajoen.
I was also at the reopening of the Iwayama Lacquer Art Museum in August.
☆ If you are interested, my chingu chunsengyo-ssi shared a report on the lecture in Kyoto:

Dear Flowerbossa

Hello again!
Thanks for the links.. I have gone through them again and was astonished by this man's humble beginning and enormous spirit to give lacquer painting a new life in this modern world.
What struck me most in the first part is him believing that BYJ deserves a hobby. I think we are all drawn to these various pursuits which we like the most. It's all up to us to develop this interest. Example is my new passion with photography, you perhaps learning more on lacquer painting, others learning Hangul or pottery, etc..
Learning about Mr. JYB's life has hit home which made me realize I have gone far in life in my own way and there are many things that I should be thankful and grateful.
Many thanks Flowerbossa.
Dear flowerbossa,
Thanks for posting these events. They sound wonderful and I look forward to seeing the exhibits. Hehe, I'd better mark them on my calendar this time :)
love ... Jaime
Hi Jenny,
JYB sonsen-nim is determined to spread the beauty & usefulness of lacquer all over the world, so there may come a day when he will give a lecture outside of Japan!
love,
flowerbossa
Dear Hyds,
Yes, I think all of us have come a long way in many ways...
And my encounter with BYJ is one of the most wonderful things that ever happened in my life.
It is quite obvious that he is more than an actor - he has opened up an entirely new world for me.
And meeting people like you is what I treasure the most^^/
love,
flowerbossa
Konnichiwa Jaime-san,
It's a good idea that sonsen-nim decided to move his works to Tokyo while the museum is closed.
Be sure to make time to go (although I'm sure Dec is a busy time for you!)
love,
flowerbossa
