Description
My name is Koji Kozakai.
I have worked in architectural design and construction in Japan, and for over 13 years I have been teaching earthbag building. Along the way, I’ve developed a wide range of hands-on skills such as carpentry, tiling, and plastering.
Now, I’m taking on a new challenge: pursuing my childhood dream of becoming a painter. As I travel the world, I hope to learn new techniques, gain diverse experiences, and share enjoyable moments with people I meet.

About Me
Nice to meet you, my name is Koji.
I have worked in architectural design and construction in Japan, and for the past 13 years I have been teaching natural building, especially the earthbag method.
Currently, I am pursuing a new challenge: following my childhood dream of traveling the world and working as a painter. As I journey across different countries, I explore creativity through new experiences and look forward to connecting with people from all over the world.
My Skills
One of the projects I would love to take on is mural painting. It would bring me great joy to contribute my artwork, and I also enjoy designing across different fields.
In addition, I have extensive experience in house building. I am skilled in carpentry, plastering, and tiling, and I have built many houses over the years.
Languages
My English is at an intermediate level, and I am currently studying Spanish with the goal of becoming fluent in the future.
