LATOUR DAIKANYAMA

Nestled in Uguisudani-machi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Dwelling in the Forest lies at the southern edge of Musashino Plateau. Historically, it was part of a forest under the jurisdiction of a government official during the Edo period, giving rise to its name, Daikanyama. Once traversed by a stream where Yingitobashi bridge stood, this land now recreates a transitional environment that mirrors its natural origins. Dense evergreen forests and valley woodlands flourish alongside flowing waters, showcasing the seasonal transformations that define Japan’s picturesque landscapes. The forest serves as a sanctuary, where the verdant foliage, birdsong, and babbling streams provide solace and healing. Revered as a sacred space, it inspires awe and reverence, bridging the gap between humanity and nature. Inhabitants find deep solace here, connecting with the forest’s vitality and wisdom, and envisioning a prosperous future intertwined with its growth. Dwelling in the Forest embodies a harmonious coexistence between people and nature, nurturing a symbiotic relationship that promises mutual growth and enrichment.
