Textile workshop in Fujino, Japan.

Back in 2006, I came across a TV program about a Canadian weaver/textile artist living in mountains of Japan.  Bryan, the textile artist has been teaching and sharing his knowledge in silk production, silk worm rearing, weaving and traditional Japanese textile art.  I will be going to Japan next month to attend his workshop.  His blog can be seen here:  http://japanesetextileworkshops.blogspot.com/

Here are some beautiful images from his workshop.
