My name is Dong Ju Kang, and I began my journey into carpentry and countryside living when I chose to build a life closer to nature in Hida Takayama. Since then, working with natural materials and renovating homes has had a HUGE impact on the way I design and live — shaping not only the spaces I create, but also my understanding of self-sufficiency, craftsmanship, and what it truly means to feel at home.
