Helen will talk about the Japan Paper Tour that she led in June, an 11-day odyssey with a group of 10 paper enthusiasts. The group spent 3 days in Echizen, a village with over 1500 years of papermaking history; visited Gifu and Mino, where Isamu Noguchi revitalized lantern-making in the 1950's; and explored Kyoto, touring temples and gardens, visiting shops dedicated to paper. The tour culminated with a celebratory dinner complete with a geiko performance.

Registration is open to the books arts community at large! Share with a friend!
