Some of Craftsmen from Kakushin-Juku will place their new works on the Gift Fair in San Francisco on 26th to 29th of January, 2008. For this show, the members who will attend the International Gift Fair have just finished creating their new innovative products which are not their ordinal works and they showed them in the meeting at the last Kakushin-Juku class. They are all wonderful as is to be expected of professionals. We are looking forward to having the buyers and visitors feedbacks of those Kyoto traditional innovative products in January of 2008.
I may have to go visit the show to see their products.

Hi!PeterD, some products have been sold by buyers. They say it was not big success, but they have leant many things by the feedback from the customers about their products for the US market.Buy the way I am going to the LA in June. We are going to stay in LaHabra near L.A. with some of Rotary members.

Thanks for the update.
Have a great time in Los Angeles. Too bad it is so far from San Francisco (6 hours by car), or we could meet.
