English Version of "A Wooden Sailing Ship Modeling Studio in a Country Town"

The seventh ship Duyfken is completed.

Well come to my Web Site.

I began Wooden Sailing Ship Modeling in 1996. I have constructed six ships.
I live in Hinode-machi Tokyo, Japan. You may think that Tokyo is located in the seashore and filled with tall buildings. But Hinode-machi is a beautiful mountainous country town located at the west end of Tokyo.
Therefore, the sea is far, far away - - - - - -.

This is the English translation of a part of my Japanese web site "A Wooden Sailing Ship Modeling Studio in a Country Town".
The notes and/or my impressions of six ships I made and Duyfken which is now under construction are described.
