Mitsuhiro is a national treasure of Japan and has influenced makers like Michi Matsuda and Isaac Jang, who join me for today's podcast.   Uchida-san started his international lutherie journey working for guitar companies in Japan and then moved to Germany to do repairs before working at Lowden Guitars in Ireland. In the 1990s, he moved back to Japan to set up shop on a remote mountainside where he builds incredible one-of-a-kind creations.  For episode 79 of the podcast, Uchida-san tells us his story and his philosophy of guitar making.    Links:   http://www.melodist-net.com/~harpguitar/UchidaGuitarEng.htm  https://asamiuchida.thebase.in/ Luthier on Luthier is hosted by Michael Bashkin of Bashkin Guitars and brought to you by the Fretboard Journal.
