Surrounded by Japan Alps
Rich natural environment
I went with "COCORO* KAIGI" to the place called "Komagane base"
managed by photographer "Syahoo-jin"
Syahoo-jin runs photo studio in city
Between work, he live a in Komagane, Nagano Prefecture twice a month
What is it like to live in the mountains
I came here to feel it
Syahoo-jin's Komagane base Satoyama camp with "COCORO * KAIGI"
hippy : The dog is barking in the back room
Cocoro : They seem to be confined
cheers
h : What is that propeller?
C : It send a warm wind to the room
Syahoo-jin : It moves by heat conduction
h : Heat conduction
h : Does that mean converting heat to energy? interesting!
C : He is an energy fan
h : I am very interested in the root of all energy!
h : It's interesting to move without electricity
h : I feel the circulation of nature
h : It's interesting to turn firewood into power
C : If you use it at the camp wood stove, the whole tent becomes warm
C : The atmosphere is better than the electric fan
S : Please use this "BioLite"
S : This can burn firewood and charge the iphone
C : Hippy, please do this
h : I will not charge it ...
S : This "Fireside stove" is cooked and warm
C : The drawer under the stove is well thought out
S : Recently I do not drop the ash and use it as an oven
S : Because the heat does not go downward in the state of charcoal
S : You can cook by raising the flame and burning it
C : Can you make pizza?
S : When used as heating, I do not throw ash to keep warmth
S : However, ash accumulates, heat does not travel downward
S : After all the ashes are taken, I burn a new tree and cook.
S : Pizza can be baked better inside
h : Recent cameras have less noise and clean even if raising "ISO"
h : My video performs "color grading" when editing. When shooting, set the camera setting to "Cinema contrast Mode".
h : Next, when editing, I will control the color. Doing so will result in a flat texture without stereoscopic feeling. It will be cinematic
h : The shooting method of the starry sky is time-lapse
C : Do you use "Adobe Lightroom" after shooting?
C : Will not it be a video of hippy if not done?
h : There is not such a thing.
h : However, the advantage of time-lapse is that you can shoot "RAW",and can brighten and adjust the dark parts etc with software such as "Lightroom".
h : Moreover, the size of the image is large, When editing, you can cut out,and zoom and move parts.
C : Is that not using a slider
S : You are taking a picture with still, not a video
h : Used for shooting starry sky and bonfire
h : In the case of night scenery,It will be clearer if you modify it later
「JOMON DOKI !!」
I heard that Syahoo-jin made it
I feel "passion" of Japanese ncient times
h : How long ago did your family come here?
C : It was two years ago. It is about once a year
C : Last year, I met Syahoo-jin in a shop by chance.
C : Swaying hammocks
h : Do you make a hammock at home?
h : Did you clean up the garage?
C : In my house?
C : Still working on it.
h : Do you renovate garage yourself?
C : Ideas are thinking
h : You just move it to action
C : That's right
h : Do you draw sketches?
C : I also write sketches and drawings
C : There is a "Canadian canoe" at home
h : Really? That's cool.
C : But it have been on the roof for 10 years and it is deteriorating.
C : Because it is a wooden canoe,it can use it again by applying glass fiber processing to the surface
h : The work of applying glass fiber processing to the wood surface is the same as surfboard
C : That's right.Camping will be more interesting if I repair the canoe.
C : I would like to be able to fix it in the garage. It's two seater so it's necessary to secure space for the garage
h : It's not a kayak, it's a canoe,right?
C : Yes
h : I rode a canoe at "Kushiro Marshland in Hokkaido".I really had a good time.
C : Canoe is good.
cheers
Dish made by Syahoo-jin using a bonfire and Dutch oven
was really brings out the full flavour of the ingredients
h : COCORO, are you bored today without having to do?
C : Not really.
h : What were you doing?
C : I was thinking about how to edit it
h : Are you thinking in the head?
S : When are you talking about?
C : The event of the day.It's a camp, but the pattern is different from usual
h : Because Syahoo-ji prepared everything ,we didn't often move my body.So,you moved your head?
C : That's right, I was thinking about how to organize it , but I am getting confused.
h : Are you thinking about that already?
The theme of this collaboration
C : Since I was planning on expressing each personality with the theme of "Technicolor" at the time of the last collaboration
What is "Technicolor"?
C : It is a word that came out as a "coloring Technique" when it changed to color movies from the era of black and white movies.
h : That's right, I heard it for the first time.
h : But the first subtitle was "white and black", why?
C : I have never met you and I do not know.In the meaning of a person at the opposite pole, I made it the title of white and black
C : But this time,I know hippy little,so "I will try use to color"
The color that fills the difference is...
C : I decided to use colors when the previous camp was over
C : This time I became three people, so I am thinking which color is the third color
h : Movement of COCORO who is always busy,today looks like slow
C : I moved a lot last time
h : This time Syahoo-jin is always moving around
C : That's true
h : I'm sorry I can not see the movement of that COCORO
C : Haha, indeed
h : I wanted to shoot the movements of COCORO in time-lapse
h : I wonder many COCORO could be seen by afterimages
Today I also kept the camera and waited for the starry sky
However, covered with clouds
It was a night to enjoy the bonfire ...
Fortunately, I saw a moon like a full moon and it was very beautiful
Early "yu-go-ya"viewing
Next day
S : Shall we make a small wood table from logs
h: Really? I'm happy
h : This tree is half burned by misstake but it is using for 2 years as it is
h : I misunderstood and burned it as firewood, in a panic and put out of the fire
COCORO seems to take time to ignite
I was asked if I could have breakfast
h : Not yet, it's a bit more
It is a sandwich of German bread and spice ham and cheese
I gave sandwiches to two people
h : Are you sharpening the blade
S : Yes
h : How often do you sharpen the blades?
S : Sharpen the blade after cutting two raw trees
h : Do all the raw wood become firewood?
S : Yes
h : There are various types of blades
S : This is set this combination
h : The direction of the blade is differ
S : Each blade is opposite
S : It became beautiful
h : How many use raw wood do you use wood stove to get over winter?
S : I use a lot, about 20 trees
h : Wow, 20 trees!
S : Turn on fire in the morning and fill up a lot of firewood before going to bed.As I get up in the morning I still have a fire
h : About cold in winter. Is there a considerable temperature difference here and in the workplace?
Photo Studio in Gifu
Komagane base in winter
S : It's really cold, midnight is like in the refrigerator
h : However, you need this place
S : I want to use a wood stove
h : I see, you like wood stove. It is nice, I adore it.
S : If you cut this thing thinly, it is convenient for solo camping
h : The days of mountain living like this move the body
S : Surely you will always move
h : Well, it will be working all day
h : Is it tired?
S: Because I like it
h : Which is hard do you feel, Effort to upload photos to Instagram,or move the body ?
S : Cut the wood is not tired
h : Which do you like?
S : It's difficult ... Because that is another thing ...
h : That means,Because photographs and firewood making are "related to myself", it's interesting
S : Right
h : Do you like handmade things from long ago?
S : When I was a child, I wrote "Manga"
h : Is that true? When did you start outdoor?
S : My father was doing skiing and went skiing and camping together
h : What kind of YouTube channel are you viewing these days?
C : I have been watching "Minimalist" channel for the last 2 months
h : Minimalist! Hahaha
C : I have a lot of things at home, so I adore a minimalist
C : This time I planned to reduce belongings,but I understood that I can not cook because it is too simple
C : I realized myself that I can not cook with one table and one burner
h : Hahaha, but I heared interested that you longing a minimalist
h : Why do you long for a minimalist?
C : It's just want to reduce things
h : Why do you want to reduce things? What is in the unconscious feeling?
C : Well ... why ... I guess that's because thinking has changed over years.
C : In the past, I wanted many things
C : Now I want to use less things carefully.Most of them are not used
h : If I Imagine many things before going camping, baggage will increase.For example, if rain comes down, you need rain gear
h : I am fun to convert the comfort from the tool into another thing in the head
h : I do not pay attention to the fact that if you have comfortable sleeping tools your body will rest
h : On the contrary, thinking about being hooked ...
C : I see, it may be a good feeling that you do not have to go to sleep if you are shooting night stars
h : Yes,that's right
h : So, this open tarp style also makes it easier to shoot stars
h : You can sleep while looking up at the sky because you do not know when stars will appear
h : If i am sleeping in a tent opening it up and watching the outside becomes troublesome
h : I thought, "When you want to do something, create an environment inevitably driven before that" If it is important
C : This is disciplined
h : The people doing "bush craft" are more amazing Safety and light camp gears are increasing
C : Is this DD Tarp?
h : That is convenient because various stretching methods can be made with 3 m × 3 m
h : I decided on this
h : This is very hard! Everyday?
S : I'll do it little by little every day
h : Sure. You have to make to firewood for winter
S : 35%,still has a lot of moisture
h : 20%, It's okay
This place has work and tools closely related to everyday life
An inevitable environment to live by moving the body
It's
comfortable feeling of tiredness
and warmth made from that feeling
Happiness is born there
