Interview with "SAKAN" Naoki Kusumi

Have you ever heard of a "SAKAN"?
SAKAN is a traditional Japanese occupation which can be translated into "plasterer". Somebody that can paint walls and even create walls made of soil, since traditional Japanese architecture uses bamboo and dirt to build walls. It is more of a craftsmanship, or even art than just simple painting skill. A traditional SAKAN can make their own wall paint from plain soil.
However, since Japanese traditional architecture reduced through the rapid growth period after the second world war, not many true SAKAN are left.
SAKAN Naoki Kusumi is one of the precious SAKAN left in Japan, he is still young in his thirties, but is the heir of his famous father, Akira Kusumi.
We conducted an interview with SAKAN Kusumi, and will put up his article within the next few days.
