Just wanted to let you know that I'm busy preparing and I already send boxes filled with ceramics to mount Koya-san. I'm quite excited about it. I will have an exhibition of my horsehair art and red-ware art at Mount KOYA-san south of Osaka in Japan from July 5 - 12, 2009. It is a multi-media show of 40 artist and I have my exhibition in the Eko-in temple, one of the 123 temples.
Kôyasan is a sacred place. It is home to an active monastic center founded twelve centuries ago by the priest Kûkai and headquarters of the Kôyasan sect of Shingon Buddhims. Situated on a small plain at the top of Mount Kôya is the sacred area known as the Danjô Garan, a complex of temples, halls, pagodas and Buddhist statuary that welcome visitors to this serene and hallowed place. Surrounded by a thick forest of massive cedars, the area known as Okuno-in, or the Inner Sanctuary, is the setting for a vast cemetery that features the mausolea of numerous famous Japanese. In 2004, the UNESCO named Kôyasan as part of the “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range” to its World Heritage List.

We've always wanted to visit Mount Koya-san. Tavel in Japan is one reason we moved back to the States.

We want to visit Shikoku again too. It was difficult living in Japan, with Jean's school schedule: She was off during major national holidays when it is pretty awful to travel and costs the most. We kept permanent residency. It is a dilemma wether to keep it, or visit on tourists visas so we can get a rail pass like we did on our two month long visits. Gotta get the pottery business going first.
Thank you for the book about your work. It is a nice to have something like it to share with folks.

Yes. It is not easy. We are still here on our tourist visas. We travel
enough that we never stayed more than 3 months. But now I try to get first
my Certificate of eligibility and when that passes I will get a work permit.
I hope for around 3 years.
We traveled during the winter holidays of 2006 and 2008 when our boys were
here and we got the JR Rail pass. Last time we traveled 6 out of the 7 days
and we traveled around for about $1000.00, and the railpass was about
$300.00. So, when you have the pass, you have to travel. So, that's when we
went also to Koyasan. And that's when I met people and submitted my
portfolio and got accepted for this show.
You can read more on my website. We also went to this beautiful onsen and
then it started snowing during the night. A wonderful experience.
Yes, you can soon buy my booklet on Amazon.com and my website when I have my
PayPal set up. The booklet is an brief autobiography about my Ceramic
Experiences in Japan and at the end a technical chapter at how to do
horsehair raku.

Please share the link when you have it. I found the book Shards: Mashiko Poetry on Amazon. I got chatting via email with Ann and she sent me her PHD thesis on the transition of the Mashiko potter form artistan to artist.
