Most of my projects are the starting point for connecting cities and regions . Through various projects, I have attempted to link each planned site with the region.

The method of linking with the local community varies depending on the characteristics of the location, but the aim is to create an external space that is highly connected to the local community and to increase unity with the community by regenerating the forests and natural areas that remain on the land.

 

Although I was born and raised in Tokyo, the area around my house was a typical Japanese suburban landscape with many parks and fields. My favorite pastime in elementary school was wandering the path from school to home. I would pick flowers along the greenway, suck nectar from flowers, sunbathe, and play hide-and-seek with my friends.

He had a formative experience in his childhood, walking home from school for an hour or even two, a distance less than 1km long. After junior high school, whenever he learned about various social issues such as poverty and urban problems occurring around the world, he wondered if he could somehow find a job that could help people. That's when he came across books on environmental issues, including "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson. He thought, "Maybe if we solve environmental problems, we can save 6 billion people (the world's population at the time)?" and entered the world of landscape architecture to get involved in creating spaces that would solve environmental problems.
