  1. I am a Xavier alum and delighted to see the statue on campus. Thanks for sharing this. Glad to see that the real saint has caught up with the fictional musketeer.

  2. Another great post, I like the Japanese sandals, i am sure Xavier wore them when he was in Japan. I hope you post the final statue when done. Looks promising, and a big project for Mr. Tsuchiya.

  3. Tom Tsuchiya is a very talented young man and he captivates the Spirit of Francis Xavier in this marvelous sculpture. And, the crucifix is beautiful in it’s detail Thank you for sharing the video. Have sent it on to others.
