23.01.2022 Visitors to the house today. Matt who lives local and Mariko, a Japanese woofer. The rain hasn’t completely stopped but the breaks in weather mean that Hugh and I are finally able to begin some house and garden maintenance after the long drenching monsoon. Stay tuned ...

10.01.2022 We were lucky enough to receive a visit from Hayash Riri (Lilly) Lilly has spent time in Ingham and regularly visits the host family she stayed with. Lilly was last here 3 years ago while the roof was being laid. We also found an old decorative tile embedded in a fern at the side of the house.

03.01.2022 Dear friends of the Japanese House. Apologies for the long delay. We’ve been making steady progress. We thought we’d share this picture of us taken in the Japanese House garden by the talented Rhett Hammerton. Dusty looks particularly fine, profiling her smile :)

02.01.2022 Sorry for the long delay friends of the Japanese House Australia. We’ve had a great meeting today to try and plan the next stage of the house’s restoration. Japanese carpenter Masashi and his lovely partner Ami, with the support of Mook Denton and in consultation with Akira Mitsuda will help in planning the next move.

02.01.2022 Mook Denton and I recently visited the site the Japanese House was built on in New Farm, Brisbane. https://goo.gl/maps/NSmTCAhYYL62
