Thank you…..

I have to say. This particular Japan trip has been a real pleasure to follow. So many incredible insights into the belly of the beast. Thanks for sharing and explaining all the intricacies.

Gosh would love to know the back story of some of these workers. I wonder what they think about the art that they produce daily...

Great thread! Really want to go to Japan even more now.

@Giles & @Alex can’t thank you enough for taking us with you on those journeys through all the pictures

And f*** I miss Japanese food now.
How was the Horse Sashimi?

Alex- Haraki, do you have a van that we can shoot the video of you riding a bike from ?

Haraki - No

Alex- We’ll have rent one then

24 hours later….

Haraki - I stopped by the Hachioji store on my way home from Kojima, had a look in the car park, and I found this…..
