Japan: the land of the rising sun

I was invited to present my research paper of jewelry at the conference in Osaka. It was my first time in Japan, and inevitably, I combined work with holidays, which guaranteed sensory overload. Met some remarkable people, presented my latest research, seen most beautiful gardens, played in the enchanted bamboo forest, discovered new style of botanical illustrations, got lost in the endless translations tunnels, and seen a future imagined for us in 1974.
