Thatcher's Craft
 
 
"The Thatcher's Craft" is the classic thatching text in England. We selected parts of it that were relevant to our project and had them translated into Japanese and printed up as part of our educational project.
 
The Message
 
 
Our experimental rethatching was misunderstood by some conservative (and young, surprisingly) Japanese thatchers as an all-out attack on the traditional way of thatching in Japan. We wrote and distributed this explanation after the project was finished.
