TOSA TOMO
Artisans in Earth, Stone and Timber
Specializing in Folk Architecture of Asian
and the Americas
Tosa Tomo artisans work in indigenous
traditional custom and building methodologies span over
thirty years, focusing those endeavors to the links between
the First Nations People of the Americas and their Asia
complement. Commonality of elements between the homes of the
indigenous people of these lands is very clear when
approached from the view of their harmony with what is
around them and their spiritual connection to the
environment. From the Chise-Minka
民家
of the Ainu to the Timber -Plank structures of the Pacific
Northwest coast people of the Americas, a continuity and
natural harmony is clear. Originating in the Middle East,
radiating outward to Eastern Europe and Asian, Timber, Stone
and Earth dwellings have been sheltering us for millennia.
Our exclusive team of artisans can restore or duplicate
virtually any form of Indigenous architecture that has
evolved, from the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Europe to
the Japanese archipelago across to the Americas. Besides
domestic architecture, we can also facilitate the creation
of Tea Houses, Shrines, Hermitages or any structure you may
want that could benefit from our influence
