About the product:
Daisen Ryuiki Dynamics is a visualized tool for reimagining water circulation, developed in a watershed of Mt. Daisen in Tottori prefecture, Japan. It integrates the water cycle — including groundwater and submarine springs — with geological features, trees, fungal mycelium, mosses, rocks, soil microorganisms, and other interconnected ecological actors. It also weaves in the wisdom and traditions
preserved locally, the imported techniques of ironworking and rice cultivation, and the enduring myths of figures such as Susanoo and the Yamata-no-Orochi.

In this project, this dynamic connections among all phenomena — including human activity — across continuous landscape extending from deep mountains to satoyama, rivers, and seas we redefined as “Ryuiki” (流域, literally “watershed”) .The capacity to perceive and respond to these dynamics we name “Ryuiki Awareness”. Combined with experiential programs, this tool helps you sense, understand,
and embody the living dynamics of the Daisen Ryuiki — the flowing web of life.
