Program Reviews:
Olivia Noel Hernandez, Summer 2016 Participant
I found the student exchange component very rewarding. It was one thing to experience the country as a western cloister, it was another to have to communicate cross-culturally with Japanese students, and try to work beyond the language barrier and into the universal language of art and sensation.

Olivia Noel Hernandez, Summer 2016 Participant
Being able to learn ancient Japanese paper making traditions was an incredibly valuable experience. Whether or not you have a specific interest or application for learning Japanese papermaking, just having the opportunity to learn and process was incredibly special.

Der Lee, Summer 2014 Participant
My favorite part of this program were the artist residencies I was able to participate in, such as Awagami Paper Factory and the Mokuhanga Printmaking Artist Residency as well as the special cultural experiences such as the Kabuki Theatre performance, wonderful food, and the temples!
