The Kominka Collective's mission is to save Japanese kominka folk houses and other traditional structures while preserving Japanese building arts. We are a not-for-profit company.

Shiose Kura is 130 yuears old and is scheduled to be torn down in December 2024 unless it can be relocated. The building itself is in poor condition, but the joinery, beams, and columns are truly extraordinary.
