Greetings from Hokkaido,<\/p>\n

I remember this gig as being a sweet one if anyone is interested in coming back to Japan and living up in Kamui Mintara (Ainu for “God’s Country”) of Hokkaido. If so, please check out the below and get in touch with them directly.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in coming over to the Kamui Mintara this summer for some good ol’ fashioned (straw bale) wall raising, check out the blog listed in my signature for information on our workshop the first weekend in August.<\/p>\n

I hope all is well back in The Pac. NW!! Ogenki de!!<\/p>\n
