About me

My name is Hiroaki Kimura.　Please call me “Hiro”.
I live in the foot of Mt Yatsugatake where nature is rich in Yamanashi Prefecture.
Yamanashi Prefecture have a World Heritage Mt Fuji.
Mt Yatsugatake is 2 hours by train from Tokyo.

My job is the design and development of domestic dome houses and the operation support of construction companies.

In my private life, I am working on Forest maintenance and Creating a sustainable village in SATOYAMA. （SATOYAMA which means rural natural areas in Japan.)
My hobbies are Aikido and Shinobue. (Shinobue is Japanese bamboo flute)

My background

I ran a construction company, but retired eight years ago. After that, I went to Hokkaido for 4 years and lived with Ainu elders to study Ainu culture. (Ainu is a native people who lived in harmony with the nature.)

After returning to Yamanashi, I was undertaking a new organic farm startup project.

Two years ago, I met Geodesic Dome and 3Dcad (SketchUp) and became very interested.
I also noticed that these spaces consist of digital languages ​​and numbers (vectors).
and learned about Buckminster Fuller’s synergetic principles and programming.
Now I wanted to convert the digital language and numbers into “actually useful thing”.
and I hope they suppot a sustainable SATOYAMA community.
