VISUAL STORYTELLING
PappasBland are contemporary photographers based in the Berkshires, Massachusetts.
We are excited to be documenting the progress of an old timber frame from Japan that has now been relocated to Western Massachusetts and after a few repairs will become part of Uncarved Block's new shop space in Tyringham, MA. This is a 150 year-old 'kura' or storehouse that was previously part of a silk mill in Shinshiro. The process was managed by Kominka Collective, a not-for-profit company who specialize in saving Japanese kominka, cottages, studios, and traditional materials that would have otherwise been destroyed. Kominka North America has now been established to bring more of these structures to the United States.
