An aroma product made from the connections of local people, where you can see the scenery of Mt. Sanbe and Ota City.
We harvest and distill the Seitaka Awadachiso that is rampant in the area, and develop products using essential oils.
In order to carry out this first initiative in Japan, we conducted crowdfunding and received support from many people from inside and outside Daejeon City.
Due to word of mouth, the number of people who offer to cooperate with flower harvesting and distillation work is increasing year by year.
This year marks the third year of the event.
Mr. Tamotsu Fujii, an advertising photographer from Mikame who sympathized with this initiative and took the main visual, said,
I also received this message.
"In response to the SANBE Seitaka Awadachiso Project"
"For a long time, I've been convinced that photography is my profession.
No two landscapes are the same.
Nature and people change over time.
And that the truth of things lurks in phenomena that seem to be opposites.
Because there is darkness, we can see the light.
Because there is stillness, movement is alive.
Good and evil, nothing and existence, disability and talent are actually within a single piece of paper.
Its value varies greatly depending on the people and the environment in which it comes into contact.
This Seitaka Awadachiso has also been reborn from an existence that was hated and excluded into something that can be harvested and enriched by life.
We want this project to move towards a vision that goes beyond the business.

Currently, I am shooting while walking, mainly in the fields west of Mt. Sanbe, along the surrounding promenades, Chinese nature trails, and mountain trails.
I've been familiar with Mt. Mikame since I was a child, but there are also new encounters and excitement.
It is an important job that allows you to refresh both mentally and physically.
In fact, I'm the one who enjoys this project the most."
