S10E04
Nestled in the mountains of Okayama Prefecture, the small community of Kamimomi is known for its stunning terraced rice fields. However, with its population dwindling to under 90 residents, it faces the threat of vanishing. Kyle Holzhueter, hailing from the USA, practices a unique style of natural construction that incorporates traditional Japanese plastering methods. His work reflects a commitment to sustainability and harmony with the environment. Peter Barakan explores Holzhueter's lifestyle and discovers the vibrant possibilities that Japan’s rural areas hold for the future.
