自我介绍

Hello, I am Toyomi and my husband is Yasu. We have lived in the mountain valley in Okayama for the last 27 years. We moved away from Osaka to experience the countryside way of life and focus on our handmade crafts and woodworking. We have two Airbnb places. One is in Osaka city, the quiet residential area but still close to Tenouji area where we used to live. Another one was in Okayama where we live now. Unfortunately in Okayama, we stopped Airbnb but we will open crafts workshops soon. I am a weaver and natural dyer. I enjoy incorporating Japanese plants like indigo or cherry into my work. My husband is a cabinet maker. He has been practicing the Arts & Crafts style of cabinet making and Japanese lacquer finishing for over 30 years. Our Okayama home is unique because it was once a countryside school house. We have since renovated it into our workshops, a small cafe, and yoga space. Over the years, we have traveled overseas and met many wonderful people who have shared their way of life with us. We always enjoy having international guests in our house, and many of the things you will find here reflect the people we have spent time with before.
