The people who lay them are skilled workers who combine dedication with instinct. This time on Japanology Plus, our theme is roof tilers. Our main guest is Yasuhiro Ichinose, the president of a roof tiling company established over 100 years ago in Yamanashi Prefecture. And in Plus One, Matt Alt visits a factory to see how tiles are made.
