HELLO, I'm Prairie

ABOUT the 
FOUNDER

I believe that when we return to seasonal wisdom, we return to clarity — to coherence — to what is essential.

For two decades, the rhythm of Japan’s 72 micro-seasons has shaped my senses, my philosophy, and my way of living, revealing a slower, more intentional path through the world.

Through culinary artistry, cultural wisdom, and aesthetic living, I create experiences that restore attention and reconnect us to what truly sustains.

If you feel a longing for depth, beauty, or a more attuned way of moving through the world, you are invited.

The salons Prairie has cultivated are as divine as the Japanese landscapes and culture. This trip has landed deep in my soul and it will continue to nourish for years to come.

The 72

Micro-seasonal correspondence gathering flavors, observations, and evolving ideas from inside Mirukashi Salon — for those drawn to a more attuned way of living.

the heart of what we do

FOOD nourishes, TRAVEL inspires, and CULTURE is the pulse, the heartbeat.

Each salon session is shaped by the season and weaves together culinary and cultural immersion, intimate encounters with place, and aesthetic refinement. You’ll gather micro-seasonal ingredients, meet local producers, cook alongside me in the Mirukashi kitchen, enjoy private dinners with local chefs, and visit my partner Hanako Nakazato’s pottery atelier. But more than that, you’ll step into a practice of presence, a way of being that reveals the extraordinary in the ordinary.
