Using cloth with wood

I grew up in the heart of town surrounded by craftsmen andliked watching the process of manufacturing from a small age.
After I moved to Nagano, I wanted to create things that combined wooden productswith the technology of the Japanese government. These were things I learnedwhile I was a student at Matsumoto Technical College studying in the WoodCrafts Department.
This is how I became interested in the Karakuri box.
I would like to make works that use both wood and cloth.
