Giles and Alex hit Japan - May 2026

[EdH]

More than a photo, that's a colourway for a flannel.

[Go For Chill]

@EdH That would be a great inspiration for anniversary flannels.

Have photos taken at every IH location on the same day, and make flannels using the colors in the photos. Name each after the location its photo was taken.

[Tago Mago]

@EdH I like this idea. A lot

@Giles I see so this must be the wall street journal thing. I will watch it
But then don’t let those kind of outlets to tell the whole story
You can set the cameras yourself and leave a treasure for the posterity.
Of course in addition to the history that you write by the clothing itself. That speaks for itself.

Was going to say the same thing.....

[Giles]

Horse Sashimi....

H going for the more conventional variety.....

[nurunuru]

I did used to like a bit of the old basashi. If you get the chance to try whale blubber sushi, that is flippin' lovely. I think I only saw it maybe once in over 6 years there...

[nurunuru]

Though engawa sushi is my biggest can't-find-it-out-of-Japan osusume, for sure. That and geso (squid tentacle) salad roll.

[Giles]

Random (very) clips from the mill….

@alex is inside being filmed, so we have set up a temporary office office outside, and it is bloody cold in the shade on a cold morning in Kojima, so we are hoping he does not need too many takes....

[Giles]

My turn…..

[Giles]

Someone has been testing the arc machine…..

[phoenixinflight]

@Giles Is that Tanaka-san on the left there? His customer service in Hachioji was absolutely exceptional

[Giles]

It is. I will pass on your compliments…..

[Giles]

Compliments passed on. He is embarrassed but obviously very pleased. And remembers you…
