Fifteen years after CIBI began, our exhibition The Okayama Project - The Simple Life reveals a curious travelling pathway of design aspirations, tradition and joy set in co-founder Meg Tanaka's hometown Kibichuo, Okayama.

There, the community lives close to nature and life moves at a leisurely pace. Locals tend vegetable gardens and vineyards while bamboo groves sway in the breeze. In this beautiful landscape, where nature presents a gentle way forward, CIBI has started a project to visit, celebrate and share at home.
