Bayon Moon

Morimoto Kikuo completed the manuscript for Bayon Moon during 2001–2002, as he was moving IKTT from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and the workshop’s new format was beginning to take shape. He started to accept salaried staff, whom he termed trainees, and a new kind of development was evident as their numbers increased and they were organized into groups based on their responsibilities, including yarn processing, raw materials, dyeing, weaving, baskets, and events. In addition, that was the time when Morimoto was nurturing the “absolutely impossible” possibility of “Project Wisdom from the Forest—a plan for revival,” and taking the first steps toward its actualization.
