With all the details confirmed, the final price was calculated and @Madame Buttonfly handed over dosh that had been kindly sent to her, on behalf of all the wonderful people who contributed to this amazing gift.

Finally, some happy hugs and group photos (including the lovely Suzuki san who kindly plied us with copious quantities of iced tea and biscuits throughout the nearly two hours we were with them)

It is awesome that this could be experienced in such pure and genuine fashion. Really a timeless experience from the looks of it. Art in action.
