  1. A 400-year old horse-chestnut tree (トチノキ) soars above Kayabuki-no-sato's (かやぶきの里) Inari-jinja (稲荷神社).

    The seeds of these trees were once leached and eaten by the Jōmon people (14,000–300 BCE), but nowadays are most commonly used in 'tochimochi' (栃餅).

  3. 🪵THE THATCHED VILLAGE🛖

    vegetables hung to dry
    at two houses...
    thatch dripping rain
    二軒前干菜かけたり草の雨
    -Kobayashi Issa (小林一茶), 1803.
    Trans. David Lanoue.

    About an hour's drive north west of Kyōto, Miyama's (美山) 'Kayabuki-no-sato' (かやぶきの里) is a small village of traditional farmhouses.

  4. Indigo is quite remarkable, and has been used across the globe since ancient times.

    Material dyed with indigo (藍染め 'aizome') not only has antibacterial and insect repellent qualities, but also helps to prevent odors, and is incredibly kind on sensitive skin and eczema🙌

  5. Known after their thatched roofs, 'kayabuki' (茅葺) farmhouses are increasingly a rare sight nowadays.

    Kayabuki-no-sato (かやぶきの里) has the highest concentration of traditional farmhouses in Japan, and a large percentage of the 40 properties remain as private homes.
