A tribute to Goro Takahshi

Inspired by KV's beautiful silver bracelet yesterday. It reminded me of this belt buckle that I had made for hubby in Tokyo in 1972. We became very good friends with the artist, as he married the daughter of my best Japanese friend. We attended the the wedding in Hawaii. My friend died a long time ago and Goro in 2013. His shop is now run by his children and it is so famous that one has to queue up to eight hours to buy one product. He learned his trade from the Lakota Indians with whom he lived for a while.
