Story: Experience the whimsical charm of the Japanese giant salamander with Daiki’s Spirit of the Stream. Crafted with watercolor, Daiki playfully depicts the innocent soul of this ancient creature. Rooted in Japanese folklore, the JGS is revered as the guardian of water sources and is believed to only inhabit clean, pure waters, a belief grounded by its ability to breathe through its skin. Unfortunately, our research reveals a challenging reality — once-pure waters now face contamination from pesticides and animal waste due to unchecked farmlands. As Sustainable Daisen formulates a plan of action to address this environmental concern, the fate of the Stream Spirit hangs delicately, calling on us all to support this endangered water guardian.
