Miroslav Bachura is an architect from Slovakia with a passion for blending traditional Japanese architecture with his Central European aesthetics. Heâs been fortunate to work on a variety of projects in Japan, including the design of the Craft Hotel Waraku in Shizuoka (https://craftinn-waraku.jp), where he aimed to create a space that respects local craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and the building's history.
His background includes studying architecture and urban planning in Prague, with hands-on experience in sustainable wooden architecture in the Czech Republic, structural engineering in Japan, and recent work in urban development here in Japan. He's especially focused on restoring and rejuvenating traditional kominka (old Japanese farmhouses) and helping them find their place in contemporary life.

Yoshinobu Toda | æžç°ç±ä¿¡ãæžç°å·¥ååº:
Yoshinobu Toda is a highly respected Japanese architect and chairman of Toda Komuten, widely admired for his innovative and imaginative approach to the creative reuse of kominkaâtraditional rural homesâand historical building materials. His work reimagines these structures not as obsolete relics, but as flexible and vibrant foundations for modern living. By giving new life to reclaimed materials and historic spaces, Toda ensures that nothing is wasted and that each element continues to tell its story.
For over two decades, Toda has been a pioneering force in Japan's architectural preservation movement. He was a founding member of the Japan Kominka Association, which remains a leading voice for protecting and revitalizing Japanâs vernacular architecture. Toda continues to serve as a senior figure in the organization, contributing his deep expertise and forward-thinking vision.
He also a founding member of the Kominka Collective, a not for profit company that promotes the beauty, craftsmanship, and sustainable values of kominka around the world. Through this group, Toda has helped lead efforts to restore traditional Japanese homes globally, ensuring their legacy is appreciated well beyond Japanâs borders.
At the regional level, Toda is a powerful advocate for rural revitalization. In Shinshiro, part of the Okumikawa area of Aichi Prefecture, he leads several local NPOs dedicated to reinvigorating depopulated communities. His work involves restoring historic homes, mentoring young builders, and creating spaces that blend tradition with contemporary needs. His architectural projects serve as catalysts for economic and cultural renewal in these areas.
Yoshinobu Todaâs legacy is one of transformationâturning endangered architecture into inspiring places to live and work, and turning fading communities into thriving cultural landscapes. Through ingenuity and reverence for the past, he is shaping a more sustainable and meaningful future for Japanâs built heritage.

Haruo Nishio, Master Thatcher I 西尟æŽå€«ãèºãè·äººã®é人
Haruo Nishio is a Japanese craftsman who has devoted his career to reviving the art of traditional thatched roofing. After completing his university studies in Kyoto in the mid-1990s, he relocated to Miyama, a rural village known for its historical thatched houses. At the time, only a couple of thatchers remained in the area, both aging and without apprentices. Nishio saw this as a chance to learn and preserve a disappearing skill.
Despite doubts from those around himâmany of whom considered thatching an outdated professionâhe committed himself to the craft. Over time, he built a reputation for his expertise and deep respect for the tradition. To support both the trade and cultural appreciation for rural architecture, Nishio launched Miyama Futon & Breakfast, a hospitality venture that offers guests a chance to stay in restored thatched homes. The initiative connects modern visitors with Japanâs rural heritage in a hands-on way.
He also wrote a book titled Why I Became a Thatcher, where he reflects on the meaning behind his work. For Nishio, thatched roofs arenât just beautiful or nostalgicâthey represent a living connection to the land and a sustainable form of building that, with care, can last for generations.
Through his efforts, he has helped breathe new life into an ancient tradition while encouraging others to see its value in the present day.

Miroslav Bachura is an architect from Slovakia with a passion for blending traditional Japanese architecture with his Central European aesthetics. Heâs been fortunate to work on a variety of projects in Japan, including the design of the Craft Hotel Waraku in Shizuoka (https://craftinn-waraku.jp), where he aimed to create a space that respects local craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and the building's history.
His background includes studying architecture and urban planning in Prague, with hands-on experience in sustainable wooden architecture in the Czech Republic, structural engineering in Japan, and recent work in urban development here in Japan. He's especially focused on restoring and rejuvenating traditional kominka (old Japanese farmhouses) and helping them find their place in contemporary life.

Originally from New Orleans, Azby Brown has lived in Japan since 1985.

Mitsuo Tsurutani, Atelier Grue | é¶Žè°·å
ç·ãAtelier Grue:
Born in Kobe, Japan in 1968, I am the Vice President of the Japan Kominka Association and a First Class Architect and Building Inspector. My first memory is that of the back of a carpenter carving wood - a big back and a hearty laugh. I grew up surrounded by such craftsmen in my grandfather's construction company. In earthquake-prone Japan, I think it is essential to improve the performance of both ordinary and traditional houses. If you have any concerns about housing, please feel free to consult with us. We are also involved in many renovations of kominka across Japan.

Moderator: Marcus Consolini I ããŒã«ã¹ã»ã³ã³ãœãªãŒã
Finance Director for Minka Preservation Society. Born in New York City to an Italian immigrant family, Marcus has been making things by hand since birth. By three, he was side by side with his Grandparents operating bakeries, meat lockers and butcher shops as well as working with parents who managed food stalls at weekend fairs - Marcus was destined to be a champion of craft made products.
With an early career supporting his family in the restaurant business a decision to go into Finance meant a career in Financial Consulting and Investment Banking and changed his course in the craft food industry from manager to investor.
In early 2017, after a serendipitous encounter with the previous owner, Marcus raised the capital to acquire Daimon Brewery (Sake) and re-launch the brewery into Kansai and the International market. As a result of this new venture Marcus became the first foreign Owner/CEO/MD of a Japanese Craft Sake Brewery in Japanâs history.

Alex Balson | ã¢ã¬ãã¯ã¹ã»ãã«ãœã³ is an Australian-born guide and community builder based in Shinshiro, Aichi, where he designs and leads immersive cultural and nature programs across the Okumikawa region together with his wife, Yuko. His work introduces visitors to the living heritage of the area through carefully crafted experiences such as guided hikes to sacred sites like Mt. Horaiji, visits to the Seven Atera Waterfalls, and hands-on encounters with local traditions including gohei-mochi making, tea culture, and rural crafts. He also curates multi-day journeys that bring participants into direct contact with Shinto, Japanese Buddhism, and yamabushi mountain practices, offering a rare opportunity to engage deeply with Japanâs spiritual and cultural landscape. By collaborating closely with local residents, Alex ensures that these programs not only enrich the visitor experience but also contribute to the revitalization of the Okumikawa community. In addition, he and Yuko are slowly renovating a historic minka in the Atera valley, turning it into a lived project that embodies both cultural preservation and rural renewal.

Miroslav Bachura I ããã¹ã©ãã»ããã¥ã© is an architect from Slovakia with a passion for blending traditional Japanese architecture with his Central European aesthetics. Heâs been fortunate to work on a variety of projects in Japan, including the design of the Craft Hotel Waraku in Shizuoka, where he aimed to create a space that respects local craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and the building's history.
His background includes studying architecture and urban planning in Prague, with hands-on experience in sustainable wooden architecture in the Czech Republic, structural engineering in Japan, and recent work in urban development here in Japan. He's especially focused on restoring and rejuvenating traditional kominka (old Japanese farmhouses) and helping them find their place in contemporary life.

Masakazu Yoshida ïœåç°é
äžãwas born in Osaka City. He grew up in a family of coppersmiths who specialized in crafting copper sheets for temples and shrines, and gained early experience in roof restoration projects with his father, who passed away when Masakazu was 20. After working at an atelier architectural office on unique timber structures, he became independent at the age of 29.
As a First-Class Architect, together with his wife he was entrusted with establishing the second branch of the Japan Kominka Association. He takes pride in being âan architect who can also work hands-on at the construction site. As that style he has restored more than 80 traditional Japanese houses (kominka)with complete client satisfaction.
One of his notable projects, âMusÅ-no-Ieâ, a guesthouse for a globally patented yarn-spinning company, received the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Award at the Kominka Reconstruction Award.
His own kominka showroom, âSunomata-juku Ikedaya Wakihonjinâ, was honored with the Excellence Award in the inaugural Commercial Facility Division at the Akiya-Koshien competition.

Andrea Carlson is the Programs & Initiatives Director of the Minka Preservation Society and the Director of the Kominka Collective. With colleagues at MINKA and Toda Komuten, she organizes conferences, seminars, workshops, tours, and community events that bring together practitioners and communities to explore heritage preservation, Japanâs architectural traditions, community well-being, and rural revitalization. The Collective also creates opportunities for architects and craftspeople to learn directly from traditional artisans, ensuring that building knowledge is passed on.
A central part of her work with the Kominka Collective is the relocation of minka and other traditional structures at risk of demolition: in partnership with Toda Komuten, the Collective carefully disassembles and rebuilds these houses in Japan and overseas. In public spaces they are preserved as places of cultural learning, while in private settings they are reimagined for contemporary use.
She has a background in Social Psychology and her research focuses on the relationships between established rural communities and newcomers.
Andrea is a Visiting Researcher and Professor Emerita at Aichi Prefectural University.

Watami Michikawa | éå·ç¶¿æª:
Watami Michikawa has played a central role in the revitalization of Sasama, a mountain village in Shizuoka. As a key organizer of the Sasama International Ceramic Art Festival (ICAF Sasama), she has helped create connections between international artists and local residents through homestays, exhibitions, workshops, and cultural exchange. Beyond the festival, she has been deeply involved in the renovation of vacant houses for use as artist residences and was instrumental in transforming the villageâs former elementary school into accommodations for visitors. She also designs and coordinates a range of local experiencesâsuch as craft workshops, culinary programs, and cultural activitiesâthat allow visitors to engage more deeply with the community. Through these initiatives, Michikawa has helped bring new life and international recognition to a village once threatened by depopulation, while creating sustainable opportunities for cultural exchange and rural revitalization.

Mehak Wadhwa I ã¡ãã¯ã»ã¯ã㯠is an educator, wellness guide, and soulful seeker who has made Ishikawa her home. Originally from India, she came to Japan as a MEXT scholar and has since devoted herself to weaving together cultures, communities, and healing traditions. In 2025, she founded The Awarenest â Nakanotoâs first holistic health and wellness center â offering aerial yoga, sound healing, and her signature therapies inside a beautifully restored minka. Known affectionately as âKaori-chan,â Mehak blends her Indian roots with the quiet spirit of rural Japan, reimagining traditional spaces as sanctuaries for renewal and connection. Through yoga, dance, and community rituals, she invites people to experience kominka not just as heritage houses, but as living, breathing vessels of wellbeing.
