A message from Nakajima-sensei:
I have been involved in teaching spinning, homespun, and weaving, but will be retiring. During my nearly 50 years at the school, I have always wanted to convey the beauty of weaving and the joy of making to those weaving for the first time. I myself will continue to create homespun textiles.
Looking back, I feel that meeting people and placing myself in a teaching environment has broadened my view. I would like to thank all the graduates, those who participated in my workshops, and everyone I have had the opportunity to meet. Thank you very much.
