A land nourished by abundant water: the Tonami region in western Toyama Prefecture. Philosopher Soetsu Yanagi once called the power created by nature and people together “dotoku” (the virtue of the land), and found in this region’s way of life an expression of the Mingei movement. Moribitosha, inspired by dotoku, is a gathering place for shaping a beautiful way of living for the future. A former training hall designed by Yanagi’s close disciple Keiichi Yasukawa has been renovated to include an auditorium, a Hotel, a café and shop, and telework spaces. Join classes and activities, talk with others, stay overnight, enjoy tea, settle in for a longer workation or creative retreat, and connect with local residents—so that your time here becomes learning itself and nourishment for everyday life. In a space filled with Mingei beauty, let’s think together about how we want to live beautifully from here on.
