About 9 months ago, 6 young architects came to visit me in my studio. Jasmin, one of the visitors, said her boyfriend loved my work but was quite slim and couldn’t find a suit to fit, so when I went to Japan the next time I got him a suit which I sent to him as a gift, bearing in mind I had never met him, I just guessed at his size, luckily it fitted perfectly and he was thrilled with it.
During the visit one of the architects asked if he could take photographs of my studio which of course I let him do, no problem.
9 months later, Jasmin and her boyfriend Tom (also an architect) arrived at my studio with this most beautiful, fantastic replica of the studio in every minute detail (taken from the photographs). As a reference to the suit being Japanese, the studio model was made from Japanese newspaper and had a cherry blossom branch and a view of Mount Fuji through the window, but apart from that was completely and totally authentic. The note read ‘ Dear Paul, you sent us a Japanese miniature suit, to say thank you, here is a Japanese miniature studio’.
I can honestly say it is one of the best things I have ever received!
THANK YOU!
