The most frequent part of my work is the design, construction, and management of gardens for private residences. In urban areas, balconies and rooftop gardens are quite common.
My ikebana work primarily involves regular installations, as well as decorations for weddings, exhibitions, and photo shoots.
I hold workshops on seasonal festivals and crafts at "IID Setagaya Monozukuri Gakko," "Akasaka Hikawa Shrine," and the "University of Tokyo Komaba II Campus."

"Onshitsu" is an old glass greenhouse on a rooftop in Daikanyama, which we utilize as a venue for performances, exhibitions, and photo shoots.
Additionally, my other company, "limbgreen," designs and sells "indoor garden furniture" and provides interior green coordination.

Topics I Wish to Explore in OPENERS

＜Touching Plants = Tactile Botany＞

Knowing the names of plants and experiencing them through the body

（Plus） Seasonal festivals and events

I aim to connect people's childhood memories and vague impressions of seasonal festivals with the original meanings of these events.

（Plus） The "colors" derived from plants, which were once prevalent

I will connect descriptions of indigo, madder, and other colors, with plants and traditional crafts.

＜Gardens on the Move＞

Memories of Place – Where Plants Are Always Present –

My thoughts and discoveries during the process of garden design. From roadside plants to private gardens and the creation of small community spaces.
Also, records of memories and stories evoked by being in a particular place encountered during my travels. Occasionally inspired by books.

I prioritize tactile sensations that have passed through the body. I will endeavor to cover these as comprehensively as possible through observation and literature, then use inference and association to form hypotheses and discuss them.
My inferences and associations might leap, connect in unexpected places, and perhaps involve surprising jumps. There might even be "Wow!" moments of great leaps.

This concludes my introductory greetings.

Current Projects

"Komamidori Project"
Activities at the University of Tokyo Komaba II Campus
http://komamidori.org/index.html
(Workshops using plants on campus, conducted in collaboration with the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Tokyo. I became involved in the renovation plan for a part of the campus two years ago and am nurturing these workshops. They are planned about four times a year. Stemming from the belief that both science and art have their roots in nature, I aim to conduct workshops that connect the body, mind, and nature.)

School Gardens
http://www.r-school.net/program/workshop/cat50/
(At IID Setagaya Monozukuri Gakko, I rent a field that was formerly a school garden and primarily grow "indigo" there now. I plan monthly workshops using plants growing on the premises, such as natural indigo leaf dyeing, as well as workshops related to seasonal festivals and crafts. Seasonal festivals are observed according to the lunar calendar.)

Midorino
(Midorino means "renovation of green spaces." Along with a few volunteers, I have begun tending to the green spaces within IID. In reality, it is not the greenery but ourselves that are being renovated. In Golden Week 2009, we also held an exhibition in the IID gallery, featuring an installation of dyed fabrics using pruned branches from plants on the premises, and ikebana arrangements of seasonal flowers.)

Akasaka Hikawa Shrine Tomoe Kai

http://onshitsu.com/2009/07/03-234812.php
(Akasaka Hikawa Shrine enshrines Susanoo-no-Mikoto. We grow indigo in a field within the shrine grounds and hold natural indigo leaf dyeing workshops. Additionally, we conduct workshops related to the shrine's festivals and "retell" the stories of the plants in the sacred grove.)
