Yon-sama originally had interest in lacquer craftwork.
His visit to prefecture came true as he wished to learn from Mr. Jun,
and to interview Mr. Jun and to include it in his book of "Beauty of Korea."

Yon-sama stayed with 8 people including reporting staff.
He created 12 works which included paneled work to hang on walls.
Yon-sama visited various sight-seeing spots in the prefecture such as Miyako and Hiraizumi.

His work "Sea in Morning" was created from the image of sea of Sanriku.
Mr. Jun was so surprised to see Yon-sama even cut his sleeping time
and seriously devote himself to create his work.

Bae Yong Joon's 'Sea in Morning'. It's beautiful!!!
By the color that he used, the just is just rising.

Yon-sama stayed in one of the rooms at Iwayama Urushi Art Museum.
Since he wishes to learn more on lacquer artwork from Mr. Jun,
working clothes that Yon-sama used will be stored and kept at the museum.
Yon-sama totally fell in love with Iwate.

This stay will be introduced in his book which is scheduled to be published in Korea at later half of this year.
