ABOUT

who are we?

We, the Morinishi family, have been living in Kamiyama for generations. Kanae is the owner of Morinishi House and currently lives in Tokushima city. His sister, Junko lives in Osaka.  Both of them grew up at this house. Yasuyo (Junko's daughter) and her daughter, Naomi currently live in Portland, Oregon USA.  Yasuyo spent many summers at this house when she was young and has always loved this house and Kamiyama. Yasuyo took her three children, Haruka, Noboru and Naomi to Kamiyama every summer and they grew to love it as well. However, since Kanae and Junko's parents passed, this house has been empty and started falling part. Yasuyo, Kanae, and Naomi have had great interests in fixing the house and to give it a new life. Thus, we started major clean up (maily, throwing away so many things) and fixing it up. We wanted to share the magic of this house with others, which inspired the idea of the Morinishi share house for young entrepreneurs.  The new purpose of this house was born and we hope that the new energy of young people will fill this house.
