Kurumizawa wants to get back to the land, so he leaves Tokyo, buys a ramshackle house in a mountain village, and starts farming. He has a lot to learn, though, so he’s lucky to meet local furniture maker Usa, who shows him around and helps him renovate his house.


University Professor Kurumizawa leaves behind life in Tokyo in favor of living in harmony with nature in a mountain village. With help from furniture-maker, Usa, and other village locals, he learns how to live off the land.
