LIFE IN JAPAN

Hello there, I’m Daniel Tsuki, an artist rooted deeply in the essence of Japan, yet my music transcends geographical boundaries. While it's not explicitly Japanese in sound, it is Japanese in spirit, drawing on the philosophies and aesthetics that shape my homeland.

I grew up in Nagiso, a small town in Japan known for its beautiful natural scenery. My childhood in Nagiso was marked by the deep connections I formed with the natural world around me. This is a place where traditions hold strong and modernity gently melds with ancient practices. I remember spending countless afternoons exploring the forests and streams, each adventure feeding my imagination. The annual festivals, where the whole community came together, left a lasting impression on me. They were not just celebrations but lessons in the art of living harmoniously with both nature and our neighbors.

My days usually start with a quiet walk, sometimes along the river, where the morning mist feels like a different world. Photography remains a passion. I find peace in capturing those quiet moments in nature. I’ve recently taken up pottery as well - there's something profoundly satisfying about shaping clay with your own hands. Evenings are often reserved for reading or experimenting with cooking – I've been trying to perfect the art of making Soba noodles from scratch. It’s a challenging but rewarding process.
