Zacha





The wooden walks of Mendocino echo Zacha for me. 

He always asked me if I wanted a cup of tea. His large chiseled face and basso voice thundering throughout his studio, he accepted my refusal with a delicate toasting of his giant hand and small cup.  Not a handsome man I thought, features too large even for his massive face and head. Yet there was promise in his eyes and a delicate edge to his smile. When I asked about Toshi Yoshida, his head tilted and he explained wood-block prints to me and his friendship with Toshi.  He was so proud of Toshi’s work, always modest of his own. He introduced me to a world I would forever want to sip.
