Enriching nature with moderate maintenance
Cutting trees is an important task for satoyama (managed woodland). Light reaches the ground, awakening seeds that had been waiting to sprout, attracting various living creatures. The felled trees are repurposed as firewood and then transformed into charcoal. In the Forest Creation Workshop, we use chainsaws every winter to fell trees. Why not enrich the Halo Woods forest with your own hands?

Enriching nature with moderate maintenance
During the season when grass grows rapidly, if left unattended, only some vigorous grasses will increase. Therefore, by cutting the grass moderately—not too much and not too little—light and wind can reach other grasses and flowers, maintaining an environment where various plants can easily grow. Grass cutting clearly shows changes before and after the work, and the sense of accomplishment after finishing is especially rewarding. While moving your body, both the forest and your mind will feel refreshed. Even if it’s your first time cutting grass, staff will carefully explain how to use the tools and where to cut, so please feel free to join us with confidence.

Tōru Matsuzaki Resides in Motegi Town, Chairman of the Crafts Department of the National Painting Association, Wood Lacquer Crafts Artist "My job is to carve wood and dress it in lacquered kimono." "I believe that my thoughts come first, and expressing them is my technique." Therefore, I keep the technique as simple as possible, cherish the beauty of the form, apply layers of lacquer onto that shape, and stop when it looks beautiful to my own eyes. I seek the beauty of the form, dress it in a strong kimono, and through use by people, it becomes even more beautiful and lustrous. I want my works to possess dignity alongside strength. |
