Philosophy
Philosophy of Shinminka

Formerly known as Ryukyu, this land has, for centuries,

developed its culture based on the natural surroundings of forests and ocean resources.

Located on the southernmost tip of modern day Japan off the shores of mainland China, the people of Ryukyu gained their influence from surrounding cultures, creating a unique sustainable lifestyle found nowhere else in the world. 
Over time, modernization and technology has diluted the local culture.

​

Our project works to preserve the traditions and customs from being lost forever with the understanding that culture is always evolving and changing. Through tourism, our goal is to work with the peoples who have lived here to help them promote the history and uniqueness of this beautiful and culturally rich land.

Forestry for rebuilding in the next generation

We have thought about reconstructing the life cycle by combining

construction and afforestation as an idea to restore the lost forests.

Afforestation at the same time we construct housing,

We want to propose to social cultural practices that manage forestry with people involved in that housing.

The goal of this project is to create an ideal life cycle from 50 years onwards.
