WHY
WE’RE HERE.
A public place for the history, craft and culture around Japanese guitars.
A LIVING
NOTEBOOK.
Not a shop window.
A place to keep looking.
Factories, builders, labels and the people behind the names on the headstock.
Catalogues, adverts, magazines and photographs that give an instrument some context.
Sounds, setups, repairs, records and the reasons a guitar stays in someone’s hands.
Share what you can prove, say what you are guessing and leave the next person somewhere to start.
EVERYONE
WITH A QUESTION.
You do not need a collection
or a dictionary to join in.
Maybe you have a rare guitar and want to trace it. Maybe you are trying to identify a logo, find a catalogue or understand what changed during a repair. Maybe you just heard a sound you cannot get out of your head.
MIJ Network is built for that middle ground: curious people comparing notes, with enough evidence to be useful and enough room for the story to keep moving.
