The people of Kyushu- Day 6 continued

The National Living Treasure :)
  The people we met in Kyushu were different than all the people we met in Tokyo and other highly developed cities, but where we were in Kyushu it was much different.
  The small country villages were where Thomas and I spent most of our time, we were even lucky enough to meet a Japanese living treasure (artisan who is paid by the government to continue  their traditional practices). He was an incredible man and showed us a thing or two about how he makes paper the traditional way.
  Below is a video a link to video on how some people make paper (an easier way).
