Title: The life and times of George Nakashima
Review: A national treasure who earned his way. The story of George Nakashima is written by his daughter Mira and we learn something about her as well. He was cutting edge and integrated the functionality with the zen of spirit. A samurai of wood?I have heard about him for many years, and he is honored in America and Japan. He wanted furniture to be functional, and able to be lived with. He was the first to embrace the whole tree, which I try to remember whenever I work with wood.As I have mentioned in other reviews I appreciate the skill but also the philosophy and spirit.We also learn that Mira is now in her own element, and the experiences of growing up with Mr. Nakashima that educated her by experience.
Is the review positive or negative?
