Noiseless World of Silence and Margins
Minimalism as a happiness strategy of "cutting down, letting go, and throwing away.
Liberation from the "moneyism and the disease of expansion and growth" that afflicts us all.
With these themes, I have been writing for more than 15 years.
Japanese society is extremely noisy and confusing, but in the lakeside forests of New Zealand, where I live, "silence = noiselessness" is the order of the day.
I would like to express such a "Zen-like" "noiseless world" in this serene retreat surrounded by the ocean and forest.
- Message from Daisuke Yosumi
He has been writing for 15 years, denying the "greed economy, moneyism, and the disease of expansion and growth" that afflicts people.
Before long, his thought and way of life have come to be called "Zen-like.
In contrast to the noisy and confusing Japanese society, "silence" is the norm in the lakeside forests of New Zealand where I live.
I would like to express my world in this retreat with my friends.
