This exhibition serves as a space to practice the concept of SLOHAS: Slow Living is a Joyful Lifestyle. Through the ripple effect of craftsmanship, it invites visitors to slow down and immerse themselves in the everyday beauty of artisanal living. It embodies the belief that “craft is a gentle wave of joy, a way of life,” encouraging a deeper connection to simple living and the natural world.

The exhibition uses materials as a medium to explore how craft creation, through the understanding and practice of material properties, reconnects the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, matter and spirit. It aims to encompass unique craft materials from various regions of Taiwan, investigating how the island—shaped by its diverse climates, ethnicities, and cultures—has developed  istinctive local craft traditions.

"Satoyama" refers to the natural rhythms that emerge within complex and diverse ecological environments, emphasizing environmental protection and sustainable development. The exhibition not only   presents the materials themselves but also showcases the techniques, processes, and tools used by different artisans, interpreting the time and place in which they live and work. It is a dialogue between material and life, inviting the viewers to feel the vitality of the land carried within each material.
