What a privilege it is to live in a mountainous area so close to the sea just 45 minutes away and to discover such clear waters along the Japan Sea.

The other day, we encountered a beautiful and serene kamushika gazing at the horizon by the lake. It was a quiet moment shared between us, filled with gratitude.
The Japanese serow (Capricornis crispus) is an endemic goat-antelope found primarily on Honshu, as well as parts of Shikoku and Kyushu. Known as a "living national treasure of the forest," it was designated a Special Natural Monument in 1955 to protect it from poaching. With its unique appearance and solitary nature, the serow represents the wild spirit of Japan's mountainous forests.

Additionally, the kamushika, or deer, holds cultural significance in Japan, often viewed in Shintoism as sacred messengers of the gods, embodying the connection between nature and spirituality.

Embracing the soothing essence of shinrin-yoku as I pause to witness nature’s delicate dance.
Just look at that raindrop forming on the leaf each droplet a tiny world, reflecting the wonder around us. Let’s take a moment to breathe in the freshness of the rain and the serenity of the forest.

Japan’s rainy season, known as Tsuyu 梅雨 (also pronounced baiyu), typically begins in early summer between June and July, depending on the region.
The term “Tsuyu” translates to “plum rain,” reflecting the period's timing with the ripening of Japan’s plums.
During this season, the country experiences increased rainfall and humidity, which is essential for agriculture but can also lead to challenges such as transportation disruptions and flooding.
Despite the inconveniences, Tsuyu is a crucial time for farming, nourishing the land and allowing crops to flourish.
I invite you to observe what a rain drop can create

As you move closer, I’ll make a sound to welcome you.
