sataoyama life

then

shallow breathing in Tokyo,

now

deep breathing in Satoyama*, Noto

( *satoyama = forest, hill ) 

 

I had a cake shop in Tokyo

my daily routine ...

bake hundreds of cakes,

deliver to cafes,

clean up

 

really racing with time and

long time work

 

while satisfied with business,

wondering how to live next decades ...

 

so,

headed out for next hints,

to world travelling

 

what I found ...

my healthy life

could be hints for someone

and

want to enjoy my life more

 

back to Japan then,

met a neglected house,

hidden in bushes,

birds flying ...

 

the house looked sad,

but authentic

 

want to do something 

with this potential house …

renovating project begun !

 

theme is

satoyama natural style,

minimum but warm ...

 

plenty of satoyama wood used,

craftsman technic shines for details 

keyaki zelkova tree

turned into a dining table,

antique chest

customized to a shoe closet

 

and …

life needs melody !

surrounded by my favorites and

take a deep breath 

 

stepping forward,

painting new colors 

this is my new story,

blue x lilac
