It was my first time to visit her studio this time. Actually it is really close to where I live ! wow... 

There're lots of small streets in the village, so it's hard to tell where the studios are located. 

Ms.Yamaguchi married to a paper guy and started her papermaking life. Now she is close to 80 and her every day job is to take the skin out and dry the peel well to give back to some studios here.

Those gampi is domestic one. 

There was a medal nere her, which says ` Good Job ! ` in Japanese.
