Michiko Mizutani

Language: Japanese

I am Michiko Mizutani, the representative of “Mizutani Kusakizome”, which provides “dyeing experience” in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture. I'm from Tokushima Prefecture, and I've loved the fields and mountains since I was little, and I often played with nature.

When I was married and lived in Osaka, the desire to do nature activities in Asuka, which I admired when I was a student, gradually became stronger, and I moved to where I am today. Currently, I have a license as a forestry instructor, and I am a member of the nature observation instructors of the Nature Conservation Society of Japan, the Yamamori Association, and the Asuka River Restoration Association.
