Preserving Japan’s folk houses and other traditional structures + building arts - 
Stewardship, creative reuse, disassembly + relocation, events & workshops,
architectural study tours + artisan fellowships

We are currently safeguarding a number of traditional timber frames at the Toda Komuten workshop, originating from kominka that would otherwise have been lost.

These structures vary in size and condition and are being carefully preserved with the intention of supporting their thoughtful reuse in appropriate contexts. Preliminary repair or pre-assembly work can be undertaken in Japan in collaboration with skilled craftspeople, depending on the needs of each project.

If you would like to learn more about these structures or discuss potential preservation and reuse possibilities, please feel free to contact us at contact@kominkacollective.com.
