              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.

                                    Have been AWOL from the forum for the last month, so just catching up on this.  Looks like an awesome experience @Giles & @Madame Buttonfly - look forward to seeing the finished article in September…they will be done by then, right?!

                                        Great documentary thank you for sharing. Amazing boots congratulation! When it comes to details and
                                        craftsmanship the Japanese are second to none.

                                        There is still a great tradition making bespoke shoes and boots by hand in vienna as well. As I won't have the chance visiting Japan maybe I am going to ask one of them wether they can make a boot like this  ;D…

                                        God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

                                          After Giles visit I've been following White Kloud and Goto-san on FB and IG and by the gods he makes some incredible footwear. Very excited to see what he's putting together for G.
