Mieko and I booth went to Nihon Togei in Tokyo Japan and I apprenticed under Toyo Kobayashi and Junichi Takahashi in Kasama Japan from 1971 to 1976 . We had a studio in Mikado ,Michigan from 1977 to 1979 and in late 1979 we started a shop and studio in nearby Greenbush, Michigan . In 1981 we started a winter studio in Albany, California. We have sold our work in galleries all over the United States and through our shop. In addition presently we sell our work at art fairs throughout the midwest and Florida.
