Welcome to Osiancle, a farm and forest created with horses
Forests and fields surrounded by a river.
Here, people and horses live and work together.
In the forest...
Some small huts,
Horses roam freely around the park and graze on the grass.
In the fields...
People and horses work together to cultivate the fields.
Occasionally, you can hear the powerful breathing of horses and the shouts of people.
The sound of tool chains rubbing.
Osiankul is the name of a young Ainu man who appears in Ikezawa Natsuki's novel "The Quiet Earth."
This land is rented.
From the Osiankuru people who have cherished this land,
And from the next generation.
We want to treasure it until it is time to give it back to you, and we want to remember that the earth is also a living thing.
I named this place after a person.
The poet Nanao Sakaki said:
"Humans also live by eating the landscape.
It's not just food that you're eating.
So humans have to take responsibility for the landscape."
A landscape is the crystallization of the activities of various living things.
The result of culture and values being reflected over a long period of time.
This cycle continues as new life grows by "eating" the scenery.
Horse fuel produces clean energy such as water and grass, and high-quality compost instead of exhaust fumes.
In this day and age, horse-drawn plowing and horse-drawn transport are sustainable technologies that place little strain on the natural environment, and they can open up new and interesting possibilities for the future.
Through agriculture and forestry, where horses and people work together, we aim to protect healthy soil and water, and create beautiful landscapes where life circulates.
