“A piece of a story”
“A piece of a story” is like a seedbed of KISANA LINES stories.
We support and empower producers
who make things with love for all things on earth
by producing and streaming their short films.
This site is also an open page,
Just like a field waiting for new seeds.
We hope you will enjoy watching
what will blossom in our open field.
Here is our first “piece of a story”… .
Piece 03We want to share what is born
between plants and us.
Meditation Treatment by ROCK & BOTANICA
Based on the traditional Indian medical system of Ayurveda, the treatment involves Cassia auriculata leaves—a tree native only to the Sojat region of India—and is called Sacrum-Spine Meditation Treatment with prayers,
performed along the sacrum as known the 'sacred bone'.
This treatment not only heals the body of the recipient but also sharpens the therapist's senses, awakening a deep connection with plants.
To spread the joy of 'humans and plants working together,' therapist certification courses are held nationwide.
Piece 02The Story of Happiness Bloomed by Organic Flowers.
Yoshigaki Flower Farm
A flower farm located in Asao Ward, Kawasaki City, just a 50-minute train ride from central Tokyo.
With a history spanning three generations, this family-run flower farm has been growing pesticide-free flowers since 2015. Starting with soil preparation, the Yoshigaki family carefully nurtures seasonal flowers using the blessings of nature—microorganisms, sunlight, the moon, wind, rain, and temperature—all guided by their desire to provide safe products for children and the generations to come.
Thanks to their warm care, healthy flowers are sent to the market every day. To share the beauty of the satoyama (village forest) where the flower farm is nestled, they also host numerous events that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.
Recently, their stay-and-experience plans, which allow visitors to live surrounded by flowers, have been gaining popularity.
* This video is a digest of a feature-length story that lasts about an hour.
The full version is scheduled to be screened at events such as those at Yoshigaki Flower Farm in the future.
For more details, please check the Yoshigaki Flower Farm website or Instagram for updates.
Piece 01Staining the fabric with the shining blue of the Earth.
AWAJI (indigo) LAND project
This is a story about a couple who moved to Awaji Island from Osaka and produce indigo dye textiles.
They grow indigo from seeds with natural farming techniques and use traditional dye called “Sukumo”
made of fermented indigo leaves.
They sell their products at their home studio/shop, dye clothes to order with extra care and effort,
and organize introductory indigo dyeing workshops to share the joy and beauty of indigo dye.
They also began making/selling indigo-tea using indigo stems, so they don’t waste any part of their indigo,
which they call “Onokoro ai” (indigo) and cherish.
We, KISANA LINES, look forward to their further activities, which offer a bridge from the traditional indigo dyeing techniques of ancient Japan to the future.
