Mr Noguchi was one of the first people to buy one of my artworks. He purchased Boy in Barber Chair for his daughter at the Knitting and Stitching Show in 2003. When in 2006, I planned to visit Tokyo on the Design Factory Research trip, we arranged to meet. He took me out in his car and I had to make a piece of work to remember that day. He is a very special person! Mr Noguchi now owns the piece.
