The
moment I've arrived here in Toyomi, I've been welcomed with open arms.
Traveling alone through a foreign country, there is nothing more reassuring.
They
are kind people and I enjoy the countryside life with Kentaro-san and
Makiko-san very much. The atmosphere is lighthearted and positive.
This
place is filled with beautiful nature spots.
One
of them is secret cabin hidden behind a wooden wall, that makes you think
you're entering another mystic world. It was built by Sato-san himself.
It's
one of the most idyllic places I've been to, filled with peace and freedom.
And
I'm honestly considering to live one day in a cabin like that (including the
fancy screen of boards).
Another
nature spot I like is the part of forest that belongs to Sato-san, where he's
planning to arrange the 2nd Art Festival and I can't wait to see the
pictures.
In
the early days the forest spot was an old rice field surrounded by a bear cave
and wild nature.
I
think that Sato-san wants to make people feel the connection with the nature
again, like it once was the case. And I believe that is very important.
While
I was working in the forest, weeding the grass and making it ready for the
festival, I felt my mind wander. No worries, no anxious overthinking anymore,
only the peaceful chirping of the birds *and the sound of the weeding machine).
I'm
a big animal and nature lover, which is why in my opinion humans should
treasure and respect forests and it's inhabitants.
And
as long as that's the case, I have no doubt, that the Festival will be a
success.
