Craft, Culture, and Nature
Cultivating perspective and imagination to reweave the fragments
Urban and natural, cultural and industrial, bodily and everyday
Relationships that were once intertwined have, over time, come to be treated as separate domains. We believe that what has been pushed to the margins of modern rationality: crafts, the arts, and the lived landscapes of satoyama, hold vital clues for reweaving the threads of life that have been torn apart.
In the watershed that links the forests of Keihoku with the city of Kyoto, a place where natural flows have long shaped cultural resonance, we open spaces for learning through educational programs, artist residencies, and collaborative projects.
By working closely with local materials and engaging in acts of making, we continue to explore our relationship with the world.
