ART LIVES TORIDE Where Art Is Born

Naoki Komaru

What I do as a job is less about art and more about craftmanlike works such as shooting and editing what the client needs. Through videos, I strive to express in the right place at the right time.

I was looking for a house with the intention of living along the Jōban Line, then I happened to find a nice house and moved to Toride City. About a month after I moved here, I happened to pick up a copy of the PR Toride and read about this project, so I immediately applied.
Art may not be essential to life, but it is important for the richness of life.

Icebreaker “NATURE IS BETTER THAN PLASTIC”

I also work as a freelance wedding planner, but the opportunity to start video production came from my husband, who said, “Let’s create a work together.”
A job of freelance wedding planner is to plan, assemble, and execute a wedding from scratch so that it is exactly as the bride and groom envisioned, which is similar to being a director in video production.

My husband has been working to make a video of the content I have planned and assembled since around 2018.
When I moved to Toride City last spring, the new variation of coronavirus was spreading around the same time and I was not able to do as much as I wanted in terms of weddings and video production, so I was gathering information to start something new and found out about this project.
I moved to Toride City about 10 months ago.
Now that I know more about the city little by little, I would like to work to make the charms of Toride City more and more known through video.
