Traditional Japanese houses, which define our historical landscape, play a vital role in enhancing a region’s charm and preserving its cultural legacy for future generations. Yet maintaining these treasures is a significant burden, and many towns are witnessing the gradual loss of their cultural streetscapes. Imazushi-cho, nestled in the heart of ancient Nara, is no exception—with many of its traditional houses having already vanished.
This decline is more than just a loss of scenic value; it signals a weakening of the Japanese culture that has long thrived within these spaces. Equally concerning is the dwindling number of people who continue to uphold these cultural traditions.
Today, along with traditional houses, the bearers of traditional culture are becoming rare.
By merging this precious heritage with the expertise of our cultural practitioners, we aim to offer a truly immersive experience and ensure its preservation for the future.
