Living in the Satoyama

Funny Hearth Sliding Screen Painting Project

March 28, 2024

Funny Hearth (Sennan City, Osaka)

loquat, dokudami, bamboo, indigo, etc.

Using loquat as a base, the artist painted signs of the mountains with pigments made from dokudami, bamboo, indigo, and other plants actually collected in the satoyama. When visitors see the mountain scenery from the old house, they will see bamboo bushes rustling in the wind and wildflowers growing strong. If the energy of the wildflowers is reflected in the colors of the sliding doors, the nature may look different. May you enjoy a sense of oneness with nature as you cook in the accommodation space with the innocent life force of plants, and dive into the nedoko.
