‘Life designer, lifestyle adventurer, director of the No Money Economic Center, chieftain of the early days of the shortage of balance, thought collector, rag master, place lessor for the multi-base living lifestyle, daytime planner.’ He creates such strange jobs for himself. He majored in industrial design, but converted to life design after realizing that industry is threatening everyone’s life. How can we save life? What kills life? Where can we start to change life? With these topics in mind, he presents his work on housing issues in the city, self-sufficiency production, living skills, transportation, energy transition, and community spaces. He lives by the motto, “There may be people without money, but there is no one without life. Anyone can start based on the life they already have.”
