What you find here is tamaki niime, just as we are – a world words cannot fully express.

"To capture the air of the moment, the moments to be loved." With this thought in her heart, photographer tsukao captured our creative space, where humans and animals coexist.

The cover is made of colorful fabrics woven specifically for this book. Just like our shawls and clothing, no two copies are alike. Bound with our original, pure Japanese yarn, the title page and afterword are printed on "niime paper," crafted with recycled fabric offcuts. We visited the printing site in Nagano to oversee the production, showing utmost care for every color and texture.

Animals run around, and unexpected things happen all the time. Yet, living together in nature reminds us that everything—people, animals, and plants—is connected. It is a somewhat dreamlike collection of photographs, yet this is our reality. We hope that, through this Photo Book, you’ll find yourself wanting to step into this world someday.
