KEIHOKU

-SATOYAMA of Kyoto-

From the old days, Japanese people have co-existed with nature

by nurturing a sustainable way of living.

​

We call nature where people live in harmony with it,"SATOYAMA", which can be found

in sceneries like well-grown rice fields, green mountains and preserved thatched house architectures.

Satoyama also relates to artisans' philosophy and skills, knowing fully about natural materials.

​

Currently in Japan's city side Satoyama is very rare to find, but such a countryside

as KEIHOKU is still full of nature's blessings and has preserved the satoyama lifestyle.
