Prior to 2003, I had numerous publication projects that allowed me to travel across the United States, conducting interviews with various guitar legends. Some of the content made its way into Japanese publications at that time, while a significant portion was kept for future projects. From that period onwards, my work took a different direction, so I preserved those interviews in my vault until now.
These individuals played a crucial role in shaping the evolution of guitars and guitar music as we know them today. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the people who inspired and supported me on my journey in the world of “living guitars.”
