That's sad news and my thoughts are with his family. But there's a wonderful thing about extraordinary craftsmen, luthiers or inventors: An important part of their soul will always remain present on this planet and have impact on people seeing, touching and admiring their work, in case of musical instruments you can even hear it.

Thanks for posting that; I wasn't aware he was fighting such an illness.

The Momose legacy as a craftsman, a luthier and a considerable force within the Japanese guitar building boutique market is pretty much unmatched by any others.

RIP
