冬は麹作り、味噌が主です。
薪で自給的な暮らしをしながら、自家用の味噌、しょうゆ、みりんなどの発酵食品をつくっています。年間６０種類の野菜を育てています.
２０１４年に引っ越してきたここ大山を自分たちの理想とする場所につくっていこうとしています。2丁歩の土地です。
家の修理、ゲストルームのある小屋づくり、畑作り、石釜作り、石垣積み、土留め、水道電気工事、石を敷いた道作り、薪割り，竈作り薪ストーブづくり。そして木彫りや墨絵の作品づくりをしています。年に数回の個展を全国で開いています。
In winter, I mainly make koji and miso.
We live a traditional Japanese lifestyle in our home in the countryside. I work daily in organic farming and my artwork, but there are many other activities that must has to be done regularly, as well. If you join us in Daisen in Tottori prefecture, you will not be a guest, but rather a contributing member of our family, and this is a role we value tremendously. Our days include 6 hours of help, but also the preparation of traditional Japanese meals, the building of fires for stove and bath, and other things. Please be prepared for these things if you choose to join us here. Arigatoo gozaimasu!

ここには、ガスがないのでシャワーがありません。薪のお風呂のみです。
なんでも食べられる人
A person that doesn't mind physically challenging work, hot and cold weather depending on the season and insects. We have a old traditional bath with no shower, because there is no gas. It is only the bath of firewood. An interesting and unique experience.
We eat simple, delicious japanese food. We would like uncomplicated people to join us. We cannot accept vegan or any other special diets.

自給的な暮らしをしながら、墨絵・木彫りの作品を作り　個展活動を続けています。震災のボランティアや　海外数カ国をバックパックを背負い旅した経験から　現在の暮らしにたどり着いています。

｛北の国から｝の‘五郎さん‘のように、ほとんど何もないところからのスタートで、コツコツと暮らしやすくなる場所を大山の麓の森の隣りで開拓中です。小屋作りも荒地を平らにし穴を掘り砕石、セメントを入れ基礎を作り（すべての工程は手作業です。）、在来軸組み工法で廃材利用で木を組んでいきます。毎日の小さな積み重ねがある日大きなものに変わるのを体感できます。お金はほとんど使わないので、お金のために働く時間はあまりありません。暮らしを楽しむために努力してじかんを使っていきます。どんどん変化していくおもしろいくらし。
あなたも体験してみませんか？
冬は糀を作り、味噌や醤油なども力仕事の合間に作っています。
何でも食べられる人にきてもらいたい。食べ物の好き嫌いがおおいい人は我が家には合わないと思います。
食事の手伝いと後片付けの手伝いもあるので、作業時間以外の時間もけずられることになります.自分の時間がたくさん欲しいという人には合わないとおもいます.体力に自身がないひともきついでしょう。力仕事がおおいいです.
目指す暮らしはなるべく自分たちの手で作り出していく暮らしで、お金をとことん使わずになけりゃないなりに工夫していく暮らしです.
日々の努力でどんどんよくなっていくと信じています.

私達も　wwooferの方達から学べることを楽しみにしています。
We try to live from our farm products and to be self-sufficient. I make art (wood carving and Japanese calligraphy-- shodo) and I have several exhibitions a year.
I choose that life after travelling in Nepal. I travelled in the mountains, visiting several remote villages where people lived self-sufficient. I thought there was nothing, next town was one week walking. But they told me they were happy and fulfilled. I was very surprised, and I changed my mind about how to live and think about self-sufficiency. One year after, a big earthquake happened in Kobe. I participated in volunteer activities to help the earthquake victims for 6 months. This experience made me understand what I want for my life.
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
※こちらは英語が話せますので、日本語が話せなくても大丈夫です。

災害の多い日本では、これからもいつ、どこで、何が起こるかわかりません。現在の情勢を見ていたら、それは海外でも同じだと思います。

何かが起きた時には、生きる力、守れる力が大切になってきます。
その力が、今の自分に、あなたに、どれだけあるのか。
どれだけの能力と経験技術が備わっているのか。
自給自足を目指したここでの暮らしは、そんな生きる力を、日々身に着けていくことです。
お金や、ほかの人の力に頼らず、まず自分でやってみる。
毎日が挑戦です。こんな暮らしを２０年以上続けています。
開墾した畑では年間６０種を超える野菜と３０種を超える果物を育てています。
麹やつけもの、味噌、みりん、しょうゆなどあらゆる、保存食をつくり、
古民家を修理し、トイレ、お風呂、かまどをつくり、薪はいつもたくさん積んであり、いまもたくさんの夢がある。
いまも廃材を使って小屋を作っているところ。
家の建築は、基礎工事からはじめ、手道具をたくさん使い、伝統に沿った在来軸組み工法で建てています。


国内海外、たくさん旅をしてきました。
海外でのウーフ経験もあります。





　　
　・大山と隠岐の島まで見える日本海の美しい景色が見られます。

・作業は畑の農作業や大工仕事などで、一日6時間を守っています。昼食、夕食時の仕度と後片付けも手伝ってもらっています。

そんな気持ちになるために
一緒に考え、行動しましょう！！
