About Living with the Seasons — 12 Months on Tatami —
Once, tatami was always at the center of Japanese life. On the tatami, people read the seasonal breezes, savored seasonal foods, welcomed deities, and spoke with family. Through this, we accumulated flexible and rich wisdom, entrusting ourselves to the natural flow of daily life. "As Life Goes On" is a monthly program set on the stage of approximately 100 tatami mats, where everyone can cherish the four seasons together.
