Here is Master K's book website, www.thebeautyofkinbaku.com


As far back as I go with The City of Angles, I'm surprised I neither bumped into nor heard of an individual who refers to himself as Master "K". I first learned of him after coming to Japan -- through the internet, of course.

Master K's wonderful second book about the art and history of Kinbaku is such a treasure to me. I love hearing him, when I get to spend time in his presence, speak on these aspects of the history, artists, techniques, and ways of Kinbaku. When I am back home I reread the book frequently, as it helps me in my study. His artistry is unique. I enjoy watching him tie, as there is such clarity in his movement. Although we've seen his work before, I think this is the first time we see him working. You get a glimpse of his hands moving gracefully with the rope, and see some additional work you do not see in the book.
