Construction Update – Week 8
Above is our week eight construction image collage… this week in Osaka we:
- Tore apart the storage shelf under the stairway

Construction Update – Week 6
Above is our week six construction image collage… this week in Osaka:
- Suhee was very busy making curtains out of old kimonos
- We made a visit to the warehouse to find some wood for stools, and ended up finding something that, with a bit of work could be used outright as a stool… score!
- More work for Suhee now, making cushions!
