On my third research journey up the length of Japan, I’ve returned to Matsue Castle in Shimane Prefecture — the region that’s ranked number one in Japan for twelve consecutive years for the number of centenarians per 100,000 people. Just 48 hours ago, I left my boat in Amami, flew to Tokyo to surprise my son on his birthday, and then took two long trains to reach Shimane, where I’ll be spending the week writing, soaking up the atmosphere, and conducting more interviews for my upcoming book on longevity and community in Japan. A longer video is coming soon with updates from the past few months — including some sailing adventures — but for now, here’s a glimpse of where the next chapter of this journey unfolds. Remember, it’s never too late to get out and about.
We at Lyman-Morse have been through the infusion process many times, but never like this. We recently infused this giant 80’ x 32’ piece — just the first half of the eventual 3000 square foot glass and carbon laminated canopy that will cover the subway entrance at the new urban center that is Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. The engineered canopy made of glass and carbon fiber laminates and designed by Perkins + Will architects of Boston and NADAAA, embodies the innovative spirit of the project and adds to the uniqueness of the pedestrian streetscape. Too big to be trucked overland, the canopy will be loaded onto a barge and shipped to its location. Video by Alison Langley. Built by Lyman-Morse.
