I just finished watching it. What a beautiful slice of a man's life you captured. George Nakashima's studio and home look like such a magical place. C Hi Michael
Thank you for sharing that video with us. I just finished watching it. What a beautiful slice of a man’s life you captured. George Nakashima’s studio and home look like such a magical place.

I don't know if Noguchi and Nakashima knew each other, though it seems likely they did since they both ended up in the tri-state area afterward. Last summer I made a video with Mira, George's daughter, who spoke about the three-legged chair her father designed and named after her. Seeing Noguchi's three-legged table in your post evoked a comparison I hadn't considered before. http://tramnesia.com http://vimeo.com/19658423 Reading this reminded me of another great Japanese American designer who was also interned in the camps, George Nakashima.
