Mike Smith-Wood has been an antique furniture restorer since 1975 and in the 1980s lived in Japan working as a restorer. This short film is an excerpt from a half-hour documentary about Mike made shortly before his return to the UK. Mike was filmed in his Tokyo workshop talking about restoration techniques and antique furniture – sometimes in Japanese (sorry we haven’t got English subtitles!).
