A Passion to Preserve Traditional Japan houses - Lauren & Marcus of the MINKA Preservation Society

Lauren Schraf & Marcus Consolini join us to talk about the Minka Preservation Society- the motto is: "They build it, we preserve it".

What is it and what are the elements of their inclusive work to support and preserve Japanese building traditions, artisans, tradespeople, and rural communities in Japan.

It is a very wide tent and they have some exciting events and activities coming up held across Japan. See more information on their social media pages and website below.
