I’ve been an admirer of Richard and his work forever. One year for Christmas Richard gave me this experimental picture of one of his ink drawings xeroxed onto washi. I have kept it safe over three continents of changing homes. Today when I read his moving obituary on this website, I knew I wanted to share this picture of his beloved home and temple with his other fans. Even though we hadn’t spoken in years, I always felt as if he were my friend and we were united in our love of Japanese papermaking. Rest in peace Richard. You live on in your work and in our hearts.

This is really lovely, Patricia. Thanks so much for sharing!
