“MY APPRENTICESHIP WAS THREE YEARS OF GOING TO THE MASTER’S HOUSE EVERY DAY, NO DAYS OFF, DOING THE CLEANING, THE LAUNDRY, FOLDING KIMONO, AND BEING A STAGEHAND AT HIS SHOWS.

IT WAS VERY STRICT. BUT THE BEAUTY OF IT WAS THAT BY BEING WITH THE MASTER FROM MORNING TO NIGHT I LEARNED AN UNFATHOMABLE AMOUNT.”
