Mira Nakashima on Keeping Her Father’s Woodworking Legacy Alive

Time Sensitive - A podcast by The Slowdown - Wednesdays

The architect and furniture maker Mira Nakashima talks about her family’s time spent in a Japanese internment camp during World War II; the enduring “karma yoga” influence of the Indian philosopher and spiritual leader Sri Aurobindo, whom her father, George Nakashima, once studied under and worked for as an architect; and why her father considered his work “an antidote to the modern world.”
