“I simply want people in the city to know where their food comes from.”
“At first, when I did everything myself, I'd set up a tripod, film and then press stop. That's why all my shots are on a tripod and don't move, and that's why my videos are still filmed this way.”
“There are tough elements of rural life of course, but I didn't put them in my videos.”
“In today's society, many people feel stressed. So when they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress.”
“What I present is just a lifestyle I've long followed and appreciated.”
“When I worked in the city, it was about survival. Now when I work in the countryside, I feel like I'm truly living.”
“There are so many ideas in my mind of old craftsmanship and food we have been enjoying for thousands of years. Some are on the verge of oblivion. I hope to preserve them through my small efforts.”
“In the countryside, planting flowers, vegetables and trees is not difficult.”
