The eviction order follows a controversial public meeting where government officials met with nuclear industry personnel to discuss nuclear power plant restarts, while attempting to exclude the public from the meeting. Concerned citizens who registered to attend the meeting were forcefully removed and the meeting took place behind closed doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tent occupation in front of METI has lasted over 4 months through the support of women from Fukushima, and many others around Japan who oppose nuclear power. People from all over the world have visited the occupation to show their support and learn about issues surrounding nuclear power post March 11th, including the severe conditions that people in Fukushima continue to face. Currently, women of Fukushima are in the process of a "10 month 10 day" 24-hour sit-in to protest against nuclear power and the government's mismanagement of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster that continues today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An emergency press conference will be held on January 27th at 1pm at the Japan Federation of Bar Associations’ Building, Room 1006.&lt;br /&gt;(Access: &lt;a href="http://www.nichibenren.or.jp/jfba_info/organization/map.html"&gt;http://www.nichibenren.or.jp/jfba_info/organization/map.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;This will be followed by a demonstration at the tent occupation from 4pm to 6pm, the hours of the eviction deadline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please email, telephone fax minister Edano and METI ( the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) to retract the eviction order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;METI (TEL) +81-3-3501-1609&lt;br /&gt;METI Public Relations  (FAX) +81-3-3501-6942&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;METI Minister Yukio Edano(TEL) +81-3-3508-7448&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;(FAX) +81-3-3591-2249&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;(E-mail) omiya@edano.gr.jp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AVAAZ version:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" type="cite"&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dear friends across Japan,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="right" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="margin-left: 15px; width: 220px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_fukushima_mothers/?cl=1529572677&amp;amp;v=12236" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://avaaz_images.s3.amazonaws.com/2052_fukushima%20mothers_3_200x100.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tomorrow, Minister Edano will evict the brave Fukushima mothers, bowing to nuclear industry&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;pressure to silence their noble cause -- and putting their children's lives at continued risk. But&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;our outcry can compel Minister Edano to stop this shocking action&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;-- send a message now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_fukushima_mothers/?cl=1529572677&amp;amp;v=12236" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sign the petition" border="0" src="http://avaazdesign.s3.amazonaws.com/btn_sendamessage.png" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;It's outrageous! - the&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Minister of the Economy has just ordered the eviction of the Fukushima mothers&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;peacefully camping outside METI to demand a radiation-free future for their children. We have&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;just 24 hours before police move in to tear down the tents&lt;/b&gt;, it's up to us to stop them now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Minister Edano is bowing to bullying from the powerful nuclear industry&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;-- they are furious that the brave mothers’ hard efforts are working. Their struggle has captured public attention and across the country people are speaking out to end unsafe nuclear energy. But&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;their fight for their children's lives will be crushed unless we now all support these courageous women&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;and stop their eviction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have only one day!&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Let’s flood Mr Edano's inbox with thousands of messages now&lt;/b&gt;, calling on him to revoke his eviction order. It's time that our politicians put people and safety before profit.&lt;b&gt;Click to stand with the Fukushima mothers now and help end the nuclear industry’s dirty tactics&lt;/b&gt;-- then forward this to everyone:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_fukushima_mothers/?cl=1529572677&amp;amp;v=12236" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;with_fukushima_mothers/?vl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something amazing is happening in Japan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Months after the Fukushima disaster, the public is waking up to the fact that nuclear energy is neither safe nor clean&lt;/b&gt;. The efforts of these few hundred activists have persistently broken into the media, and created a very real&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;public concern about dangerous radiation levels and what they mean for the future of Japan&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pressure is working.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Right now, there are only 4 nuclear power plants operating in Japan, and at the end of April that number could drop to zero&lt;/b&gt;. The powerful nuclear industry is scared, and is now fighting back with all its might -- it knows that the longer the Fukushima mothers camp outside of METI, the more public support they gather. That's why&lt;b&gt;it's using all of its might to push government allies to end the protest&lt;/b&gt;, and return things back to a nuclear friendly normality. But we can’t go back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, Tokyo police and METI officials will move in to forcefully remove the protesters.&lt;b&gt;They will threaten them with prison and fines, but they are there peacefully, and legally&lt;/b&gt;. Let's come together now as Japanese citizens and urge the government to listen to people, not the clinking of sake cups at nuclear-sponsored dinners.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Our action today can protect the democratic right of people to protest&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;and also strengthen the resolve of the brave mothers and activists who are fighting for a safe tomorrow for all of us.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;There's only 24 hours left&lt;/b&gt;, send your message now, and forward this to everyone you know:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_fukushima_mothers/?cl=1529572677&amp;amp;v=12236" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;with_fukushima_mothers/?vl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The window of opportunity to build a green and clean energy future in Japan is wide open right now. If we stand together, we can keep it open, and it starts now, by protecting the right of the Fukushima mothers to peacefully protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With hope,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iain, Kya, Ben, Alice and the rest of the Avaaz team&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fukushima Diary "JP Gov is planning to remove the antu-nuclear tent in front of METI":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fukushima-diary.com/2012/01/jp-gov-is-planning-to-remove-the-antu-nuclear-tent-in-front-of-meti/#.Tx_tgGGqDb8.twitter" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;http://fukushima-diary.com/&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;2012/01/jp-gov-is-planning-to-&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;remove-the-antu-nuclear-tent-&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;in-front-of-meti/#.Tx_&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;tgGGqDb8.twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;経産省前テントひろば "【緊急】報道・記者会見予定など拡散願います。":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tentohiroba.tumblr.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;http://tentohiroba.tumblr.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-7204809152398234793?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/7204809152398234793/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/01/eviction-order-to-occupy-kasumigaseki.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/7204809152398234793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/7204809152398234793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/01/eviction-order-to-occupy-kasumigaseki.html' title='Eviction Order to Occupy Kasumigaseki'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-5265299485593742218</id><published>2012-01-25T08:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-25T08:15:37.328-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outreach 繋がり作り'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Japan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nukes 原発'/><title type='text'>経産省前テント広場　緊急報告</title><content type='html'>This is an emergency update about the eviction order given to the METI tent occupation (aka Occupy Kasumigaseki).

If only I was smarter with more time.... but I guess my role is to connect people and ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My conclusion so far is that the post-Fukushima reality is particularly hard to perceive clearly.&lt;br /&gt;Radiation is not visible, the general public literacy about energy and radiation is extremely low, and corruption in the industry and government seems rampant. Additionally, neither mainstream media nor P2P social media have reliable quality control, so its hard to get a solid footing in the information chaos. Cultural factors also make things quite challenging, as Japanese have a tendency to hide impurities as a duty to society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-muu5_2t10Kw/TxzGNeDYWfI/AAAAAAAACgo/fAeaWKjIzgY/s1600/6a0120a7fb1330970b0147e2a3c570970b-800wi.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-muu5_2t10Kw/TxzGNeDYWfI/AAAAAAAACgo/fAeaWKjIzgY/s200/6a0120a7fb1330970b0147e2a3c570970b-800wi.jpeg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I am sure about, we are still in a state of emergency despite the surreal calm. Even in Fukushima city, where we measured 0.6 micro sieverts around the bullet train depot, everything seemed normal. Unless you had a geiger, you wouldn't know that it is not a safe place to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XwCYTKTqGvQ/TxzSDUiPKEI/AAAAAAAACg4/0DeswvMWqno/s1600/4906605745.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XwCYTKTqGvQ/TxzSDUiPKEI/AAAAAAAACg4/0DeswvMWqno/s200/4906605745.jpeg" width="142" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0j2ThiAJrr4/TxzSOJzsWoI/AAAAAAAAChI/MRoY-yfk8Lg/s1600/radiation_contamination_map_via_the_network_02.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0j2ThiAJrr4/TxzSOJzsWoI/AAAAAAAAChI/MRoY-yfk8Lg/s200/radiation_contamination_map_via_the_network_02.jpeg" width="141" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, children and families are still unable to evacuate from high-radiation zones, government and industry are pushing for nuclear power plant restarts, and many Japanese and non-Japanese still seem to be in the dark about what is really going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is something I wrote up a little while ago&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;1. Brief update on the situation in Japan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;Currently, we are still facing a near media blackout on the actual conditions of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and the extent of current radiation contamination in Japan. The media and government have been taking steps to insure that the situation appears under control, and are preparing the way for nuclear power plant restarts. Yet, citizen groups have found radiation contamination in food, house dust, and children's urine samples all the way to Tokyo. No mention is made of the conditions of day laborers who are cleaning the power plants for little money and benefits. Many Fukushima residents are struggling to evacuate as the government will only financially support evacuees from geographical area it deems necessary, and parents must make extremely difficult decisions about subjecting their children to radiation or leaving everything they have and risk financial hardship. Meanwhile, the industry and government are colluding to bailout TEPCO, while gross negligence and corruption in the industry are surfacing. These are some of the key issues affecting Japan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;On the other hand, there has been a surge of activities, such as organized groups of mothers who are fighting for the safety of their children and exposing industry and government lies concerning radiation contamination. There has been an occupation on the property of the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) since September 11th, and the occupiers are determined to stay until all nuclear power plants are shutdown. Demonstrations have become common place in a country where such actions have been a rare occurrence. Most nuclear power plants are currently temporarily shutdown for inspections and this is a major opportunity to have a nuclear free Japan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;The global stakes are high as Japan is the best candidate to follow Germany's lead and demonstrate to the world that the people will not tolerate the enormous costs and risks associated with nuclear power. On the other hand, if Japan reemerges as a country that continues to embrace nuclear power despite this tragedy, then that will create a new platform for the global nuclear industries to push their agenda. We are in need of a lot of international support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;2.

We are also a bridge between the West and Japan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;We are in need of more international collaborators in our mission to end nuclear power in Japan and help current and future victims (children). Financial support is greatly needed for increasing staff, conducting training, expanding campaigns, developing outreach media, and helping Fukushima victims neglected by the government. Global strategizing is an area we would like to further develop. International pressure is critical for us, especially as the national media continues their blackout and misinformation campaign.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;Here is our website which is a bit outdated&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.greenaction-japan.org/modules/entop2/" style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.greenaction-japan.&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;org/modules/entop2/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;3.

Yesterday I met up with an art/designer collective, Sayonara Atom, who have been making really creative products, zines, and designs to help make this movement more fashionable and accessible to the mainstream. One other group I'm hoping to connect more with is Shiroto no Ran, who have been central to the large protests and sound demonstrations. There is a video "Amateur Riot" a few posts back that covers their activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nLIr7NxME-g/TxzSHxgJb2I/AAAAAAAAChA/qVzBHWcDbFM/s1600/787hpn.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="263" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nLIr7NxME-g/TxzSHxgJb2I/AAAAAAAAChA/qVzBHWcDbFM/s400/787hpn.jpeg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;During my meeting with them, they introduced me to this very powerful mini-film.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.898438); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.898438); font-family: 'Century Schoolbook', Century, Georgia, serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"&gt;The film is set in post-nuclear Tokyo in a dimension not so distant from ours.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.898438); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.898438); font-family: 'Century Schoolbook', Century, Georgia, serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Young salary-man’s morning commute takes a surreal turn....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/E2SgonaD4U0" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.898438); font-family: 'Century Schoolbook', Century, Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;While doing further research I came across Green Peace's website.

It is truly a power to the people technology, a major threat to the 1%. In the West we often hear reports on internet censorship in places like China, but it is also something we face and will continue to be challenged in our own countries. Don't take it for granted, democracy means we all take responsibility to protect what we believe in and stop dangerous attempts to consolidate power. There will most likely be an endless attempt to control the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember to have hard copies of things you might miss.&lt;br /&gt;And learn how to use a ham radio.&lt;br /&gt;I learned about that at the PNW permaculture convergence 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/31100268?byline=0&amp;amp;portrait=0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="400"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/31100268"&gt;PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet&lt;/a&gt;

It was the best living I have ever experienced. &amp;nbsp;Exceptional landscape, food, education, and most importantly, community.&amp;nbsp;Paradise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living in the forest, communal meals, naked gardening, sharing circles, non-stop laughing, and freedom. Just an extremely high quality of living. The Bullocks are very special people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked through all my posts today, 230 of them, and labeled all the posts specific to life at the Bullocks. I cordially invite you to take a look at them, even just this pictures. You might be enticed to venture to the magical permaculture homestead. I know I want to go back...but first its time to take care of family, deal with the Fukushima disaster, and bring democracy to Japan!&lt;br /&gt;at least until I get depressed:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/search/label/Bullocks%20Permaculture%20Homestead"&gt;http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/search/label/Bullocks%20Permaculture%20Homestead&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*I still have several hundred pictures from last year to organise that I'll post&amp;nbsp;up slowly.&lt;br /&gt;Also, I recorded the PDC from last year,&amp;nbsp;so if I can get help, maybe that will bloom into something people can access.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-7592365913622461777?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/7592365913622461777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/01/bullocks-permaculture-homestead-page.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/7592365913622461777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/7592365913622461777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/01/bullocks-permaculture-homestead-page.html' title='ブロックス・パーマカルチャー・ホームステッド Bullocks Permaculture Homestead page'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-7566757015997712361</id><published>2012-01-12T06:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T06:23:55.220-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='YouTube'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Resources 資料、日本語'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tokyo Regeneration Project'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Japan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nukes 原発'/><title type='text'>Exploring Fukushima 福島視察</title><content type='html'>Hey everybody, so I'm finally in Fukushima. I have mixed feelings about it, but I think its important to experience the reality (its not really visually apparent like a war zone). I'm here with a delegation of foreign guests and media, first of its kind, as a pre-conference investigative tour. Hopefully this tour and the conference will have a solid impact on the direction Japan takes, and the rest of the power-hungry world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Join us in what ways you can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can use all the ideas and actions we can get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This needs to end here and now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a cool video I came across on the anti-nuclear movement in Japan (in English)&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gNVR8dtbQ-Q" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;皆様こんばんは。&lt;br /&gt;とうとう福島に来てしまいました。&lt;br /&gt;やはり【現場】を見て、感じて、自分の活動を&lt;br /&gt;もっとしっかり位置付けたい気持ちがあります。&lt;br /&gt;今回は脱原発世界会議の海外ゲストとメディアの&lt;br /&gt;為の福島視察で通訳としてきました。&lt;br /&gt;このように大勢の海外の人が福島視察をするのは&lt;br /&gt;始めてだそうです。&lt;br /&gt;ドイツ、ブルガリア、バングラデッシュ、南アフリカ、&lt;br /&gt;韓国など様々な国から色んな職の人が来ています。&lt;br /&gt;福島視察と脱原発世界会議で日本をもっと安全で、&lt;br /&gt;民主主義を実践する国への大きな一歩になればと思います。&lt;br /&gt;抑圧と搾取をテーマとした企業中心型国家から、&lt;br /&gt;市民中心型の日本に変えて行きましょう！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WGT4Bcu_QdY" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://illcomm.exblog.jp/" target="_blank"&gt;イルコモンズ&lt;/a&gt;のブログより&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-7566757015997712361?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/7566757015997712361/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/01/exploring-fukushima.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/7566757015997712361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/7566757015997712361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/01/exploring-fukushima.html' title='Exploring Fukushima 福島視察'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/gNVR8dtbQ-Q/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-5656072446398108337</id><published>2012-01-06T02:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T03:12:55.948-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='random pieces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tools and Technology 道具とテクノロジー'/><title type='text'>Blog Blog Blog. A bloggers reflections.</title><content type='html'>I never thought I'd become a blogger.&amp;nbsp;Especially after going through a rapid process of simplifying my life because of activism-burnout that I experienced in 2006. My email box is still full of over 1000 unopened emails during my UC Santa Cruz organizing days. Its overwhelming to even think about looking through those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, what started out as an experiment to explore new technology and poke fun at my primitive self, has now become a regular practice in my daily life. It has been an amazing tool to organise my thoughts, stay connected with friends (since I don't facebook), distribute "valuable" information, and network with people. All without the stress of external deadlines, quality standards, and costs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog started as a way to learn about blogging through posting pictures and my notes from life at the Bullocks Permaculture Homestead. One of my main goals has been to provide more info about permaculture in Japanese. But, I also wanted to spread the love to my non-Japanese readers, as I believe the knowledge and experience at the Bullocks is an invaluable resource for creating a sustainable world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the blog is a bit of a mess, but a good representation of my cluttery active mind.&lt;br /&gt;I believe the main topics are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Permaculture, natural farming and sustainable living&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Activism&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mindfulness and Engaged Buddhism&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nukes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;War and Peace&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Systems sciences&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Consumer culture and cultural change&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Its all related.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Realizing that I still have a lot to learn about blogging, and that this blog was getting a little chaotic, I decided to start new blogs for new projects. Now I have a total of four blogs and I'm cautiously considering another. Here is the critical question, is the blog a tool that I benefit from, or is the tool now controlling my life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I chose not to own a car, a cell phone (until I moved to Tokyo a couple months ago), a facebook account, etc. because they seemed to be controlling how people around me lived. People talked of how they couldn't imagine life without these tools. But, my life has been great without owning those things. And now that I have a cell phone, I can't quite say if my life is better or worse. It's convenient in some ways, and inconvenient in other ways. But I &amp;nbsp;know I can live without it, and be happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spend a lot of time blogging. And thinking about blogging.&lt;br /&gt;For now, it seems like a good way to use my time and energy,&lt;br /&gt;especially now that I live in the hyper-urban tragedy known as Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, I'm not sure how I would feel if the internet went down,&lt;br /&gt;and if I could no longer access my blog, email, and all the virtual info that I depend on.&lt;br /&gt;Losing access to a "free" internet could happen, and perhaps not too long from now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog, like many others, started out with a thought that I would write a quick article and list my blogs, and here I am 40+ minutes later still typing. Believe it or not, some articles take several hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Da Otha Blogz&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://tokyourbanpermaculture.blogspot.com/p/english.html"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cccccc; color: #274e13; font-size: large;"&gt;1. Tokyo Urban Permaculture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is basically a website for my Tokyo regeneration project. It's primarily in Japanese, but I just added a English page, other pages, and pictures. Initially I was going to try a word.press website but it looked like a little more work than I was prepared to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://occupykasumigasekijapan.tumblr.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"&gt;2. Occupy Kasumigaseki Japan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to create a bilingual site to do outreach for the occupy kasumigaseki movement. It was also an opportunity to explore a new tool, tumblr. I was hoping to get more people involved but it hasn't happened yet. Like blogger, tumblr is really easy to use but quite a different format.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://ecoresourceslib.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"&gt;3. Eco Resources Library&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't mentioned this blog yet, but it exists. It's a personal data storage site. Sort of like bookmarks, but with more visual info. &amp;nbsp;I just come across an overwhelming amount of cool info and I've been having a hard time keeping track. Some of these resources stay in my inbox and add to the 1700 unopened emails, some become another unapplealing bookmark, and others disappear back into the info abyss. So, I decided to create a virtual data base to organize them quickly and not have to worry about them anymore. That way other people can also benefit. Its a diverse mix of great websites and associated ideas and resources. Many come from the only blog I got tricked into following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://makewealthhistory.org/"&gt;http://makewealthhistory.org/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; It's really well done, much better than anything I do.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-5656072446398108337?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/5656072446398108337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-blog-blog-bloggers-reflections.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/5656072446398108337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/5656072446398108337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-blog-blog-bloggers-reflections.html' title='Blog Blog Blog.

I immediately thought of Paulo Freire (&lt;u&gt;Pedagogy of the Oppressed&lt;/u&gt;) and Martin Baro (liberation psychology) when I first heard the term. "Liberation" is perhaps the best word to describe the emerging era that has exploded this year. Liberation from powerful and well executed systems of oppression that are now deteriorating from various dimentions. For me, the occupy movement, the nuclear abolition movement, permaculture, and meditation are all essentially about liberation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just reading an adbusters article, "Fear of Flying", where Darren Fleet argues that "if a movement has currency, sincerity, honesty and a hint of real liberation, people will come."I'm hoping to communicate better how permaculture and these other movements can help liberate us, especially here in Japan, from external structures of oppression and toxic internal repression.&lt;br /&gt;The best way of course is to do it!&lt;br /&gt;And, it has to be accessible to the masses.&lt;br /&gt;Thats a tricky combo for me, but an exciting challenge and adventure.&lt;br /&gt;Darren's article ends with,&lt;br /&gt;"...liberation of your animal soul."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;LIBERATION PERMACULTURE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Liberation Permaculture&lt;/strong&gt;, a framework and design science that invokes the traditional knowledge of land-based peoples, provides organizers with a methodology to resist systems of oppression through building resiliency in our communities.

We're trying to design it to be participatory and have concrete outcomes. We really need a major paradigm shift. Fukushima families are still struggling to evacuate, food contamination continues, and the media-corporation-government complex is pushing for restarts. This is our opportunity to shift the global trend, and follow Germany's lead. No more radiation, no more centralized power. Yes to an empowered global citizens movement for a better world.

At some point, I'd like to organise something like a 5-day village building festival, building physical infrastructure, hosting workshops, and having a big party with good food. Or just a potluck. I'm also hoping to start doing social permaculture workshops, focusing on facilitation, NVC, community-building and design. If there is enough interest, I can organise an English urban/social permaculture workshop.

text-align: left;"&gt;ヒューマンダラをファシリテートしてくれました。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;ちょっとした悩み：伝えたい事がありすぎて時間が足りない事。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;持ち物&lt;/b&gt;：心、書くもの、幸せ、悩み、みんなと分かち合いたいもの。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;お昼は持ち寄り（ポットラック）なので、なるべく手作りの料理を&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;土日両日とも一品お願いします。&lt;/u&gt;買っても差別しません。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;このポットラックはワークショップで一番貴重な行事です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;楽しみにしています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A way that is good for ourselves, our children, our human communities and the community of all life on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #555555; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Many of us feel a sense of unease about the world today. We feel anxiety for the future, a future where we don’t see opportunities to live healthy fulfilled lives for ourselves and where we see each generation leaving to their children a world in poorer condition. We feel a great sadness for the injustice of our societies and for the way in which our way of life is destroying Earth. And we feel helpless to do anything about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #555555; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;In this event lead by Dion Workman and Takuya Sasa, we look at the root causes of these issues and discuss practical solutions. We will look at ecology, technology, economics, community, education, food, health and energy. We will examine many aspects of the world today and ask how can we create the world that our hearts long for. What can we do as individuals and as communities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #555555; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Our hearts tell us that another world is possible.

He has traveled extensively in 60 countries including one year traveling by horse through central America. Much of this time he has spent learning about the indigenous cultures of the countries he travels in. Takuya also spent one year in Aoteroa/New Zealand learning Permaculture.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #555555; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="color: #555555;

text-align: center;"&gt;from verandas, to shops with big windows, to schools and government buildings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Usually, people grow "goya" (bitter gourd) and struggle to eat the harvest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Pretty nerdy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm slowly getting more and more people excited about City Repair and place-making in general.&lt;br /&gt;I'm also learning about various cool place-making activities in Tokyo,&lt;br /&gt;a mix of homeless encampments, art, and spontaneous creativity.&lt;br /&gt;Its time I start appreciating the alternative urban scene of Tokyo more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;高木基金という助成金の応募に書いた文の一部です。&lt;br /&gt;シティリペア、お任せ民主主義問題、そしてエンパワーメントを&lt;br /&gt;テーマとして繋げてみました。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「私は、シティリペアというアメリカで始まった活動に関わっているが、それは以下のような問題への解決の可能性を持っているからである。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;お任せ民主主義、つまり国民が積極的に参加していない形だけの【民主主義】は、様々な深刻な問題を生みだしている。例えば、3.11以降安全より成長とお金儲けを優先してきてしまったエネルギー・経済政策、国民の健康より責任回避に勤める行政と企業、情報操作や隠ぺいに意図的または不用意に加担して誤報を国民に流すメディアといったことが露になった。そして、国民は、こうした権力の保有者に依存をしてしまっている。こうした権力の保有者（政治家、企業、メディアなど）への依存により、市民は自分たちの社会で起こっている問題に対して責任を持って解決策に乗り出せていない。多くの市民はどう問題に取り組めば良いかも知らず、周りからの反発や孤立を恐れ、意見表明や行動を抑えているという現状がある。支え合う社会ではなく、抑え合う社会となってしまっている。今回の福島第一原発事故とその後遺症の問題は重大だが、それは同時にディスエンパワーされた市民による、お任せ民主主義社会の一つの症状にしかすぎない。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;そのような流れの中、欧米から流れてきた直接民主主義活動が3.11以来勢いをつけてきた。例えば、日本で緑の党を立ち上げる為に活動している「緑の未来」や地産地消を通して地域のレジリアンス（しなやかな回復力）を高めるトランジション・タウン運動などが活発になりつつある。一方、国内でも、日本発で脱原発を目指す「経産省前テント広場」や、放射能から子供を守る母親達の「お母さん革命」などが、最近広まり始めている。これらの活動の重要な概念は、エンパワーメント、つまり、専門職に頼り切るのではなく、個人や集団が自らの生活への統御感を獲得し、必要な知識や技術を学び、自分で問題解決する能力を持つといったことである。私たちが直面しているあらゆる危機的な社会問題（エネルギーや食糧自給、温暖化、経済的不安定性と失業、心理社会的な病気など）を効果的に解決するには、エンパワーメントの実践を通して市民活動家を育む社会作りが必要である。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;こうしたことから、私はどうすれば市民レベルで効果的に問題解決ができるように社会を変えて行けるのかをここ数年研究と活動の課題としてきた。今まで調査したり参加してきた運動の中でも特別優れた活動がシティリペア運動である。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;「&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;シティリペアによると、プレイスメーキングとはコミュニティーのニーズ、資源、文化、歴史、気候、地形を元に共同ビジョンを作る行為である。物理的に【場】を作る事だけではなく、精神的なオーナーシップを持ち公共の場を取り戻す活動でもある。それまでは孤立していた人々は、プレイスメーキングを通して自分たちが共通の関心とそれを実現させる力を持っている事に気付く。コミュニティー作りのプロセスにより、市民は深い関係を築き孤立から解放され、共同で社会を改善していくようになる。これが、プレイスメーキングによる直接民主主義の実践であり、アメリカでは1996年からの実践でコミュニティーを変容させ、無関心、否定的であった地域住民も徐々に巻き込み、また行政との粘り強い交渉により条例改正などにより不可能であったことを可能にするなど成功を収めている。&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;これまで、このような活動を現地を訪ねる事で実際に見てきたが、５月末からオレゴン州のポートランドで行われるビレッジ・ビルディング・デザインコースという二週間のプレイスメーキングの研修を受講する事により、シティリペアが具体的にどんな方法で１．町の中に村を作り、２．ソーシャルキャピタルやコミュニティー資源のマッピングを行い、３．地域住民と共同設計を実践し、４．新しい地域でプレイスメーキング活動を始めるのか、を学ぶ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Osaka; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;"&gt;」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;町の設計や維持は行政の仕事だと考えられているからである。市民が行政から自立してしまえば、税金で支えられている行政の存在が問われる上、市民をコントロールしにくくなることも背後にあると思われる。また、エンパワーメントは権力者から与えられるものではなく、自分から発生させるものである。行政への依存から解放されない限り、コミュニティーのエンパワーメントは実現しない。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Osaka; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;"&gt;」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;「私の大きなビジョンは東京で市民活動家塾を設立する事である。この塾は市民として社会政治活動を効果的に行うために必要な技術を学びながら、他の市民活動家と繋がる場所である。直接民主主義活動を研究し普及させる事が私のミッションだと考える。この塾を通してエンパワーされた市民による健康な民主主義社会を作っていきたい。これは、イギリスのシューマッハーカレッジ、アメリカのガイヤ大学やハイランダースクールをモデルにしている。その第一歩として、１１月に東京アーバンパーマカルチャー(TUP)を立ち上げて、１２月にはアーバンパーマカルチャーのワークショップとコミュニティー作りを行った。シティリペアの紹介も行い、ワークショップを行った地域でプレイスメーキングをどのように行うか参加者と模索した。」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-944263821293219249?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/944263821293219249/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/12/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/944263821293219249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/944263821293219249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/12/blog-post.html' title='シティリペアとエンパワーメント'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XQAFgrqtdJM/TuiviZC_DyI/AAAAAAAACUk/AQQPQlJmBjI/s72-c/IMG_1461.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-8774782814649962134</id><published>2011-12-13T06:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T06:43:20.849-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Events イベント'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outreach 繋がり作り'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Japan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='日本語'/><title type='text'>Green Party  「緑」のユースの忘年会のお誘い</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z-v6KTnS1_U/TudkVUcdUrI/AAAAAAAACUA/_fA0G69BLNY/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-12-13%2Bat%2B11.40.14%2BPM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

It is a hopeful new project that could be revolutionary. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In Japan, from basically a one party rule since the US occupation, we finally voted in a new party (lets call them the Demoblicans, challenging the well-established Republicrats). Unfortunately, similar to how Barak Obama's sensational rise to power has fallen quite short in action, Japan has seen a similar short-fall in their hopeful new party's performance. All the more evidence that you need to change the system for real change. Both cases, you can appreciate how much influence large corporations have, especially the financial sector and energy sectors. Big Media also is also a key player in this tragic spectacle of the rich robbing the 99%. They're so good at it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyways, a powerful Green Party could be effective, since it is designed very differently from other political parties (as far as I can understand). It is for instance, a globally networked alliance and they're organized around the principles of social justice, participatory democracy, nonviolence, sustainability, and respect for diversity. Bam!!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Isn't that what we all want? Well, unless you want to be really wealthy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Germany seems to be the most successful of the Green Parties.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can read

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;安いよ、安いよ、安いよ。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今だけ大変お買い得です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;新商品登場。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今流行の。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;特別セール。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;激安！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;買わなきゃ損！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

Regeneration Project'/><title type='text'>Tokyo Activism Update and Culture Jamming</title><content type='html'>I'm working my way back to permaculture entries.....&lt;div&gt;Here is a quick update on the haps. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I joined the youth team of the emergent Green Party,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and joined Green Action, a very active Kyoto based nuclear watchdog NPO.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Tokyo Urban Permaculture (TUP) workshop is now full.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In fact, I already have a list of people for the next workshop.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What else.....2 hours vipassana meditation every day,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and occasional visits the occupation in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Its a cool scene there, a serious glitch in the system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Meanwhile, the "back-to-normal" campaign is steadily drowning out&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the Fukushima accident, corruption, and accurate information &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;on the continuing severity of radiation exposure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm gaining more and more insight into how little democracy there is here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh wait....what is democracy anyway?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We need political change, economics as if people mattered, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;media literacy and real journalism, ecological awareness, etc&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But how do we achieve all this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Are these not symptoms of something deeper?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Where are the roots of  our problems?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And how do I use my time and energy effectively for deep meaningful change?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These are the questions that I'm always asking myself,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and that have led me to work on the things I'm doing now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My current theory is that culture, our values and associated practices,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;how we perceive reality, and collective consciousness is really at the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;heart of solving our confounding crises. Something like that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Buddha might not agree with that, but I'm not there yet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, how do we change mainstream culture?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My current approach:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. create something that is more attractive - Tokyo Urban Permaculture, Green Party&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. challenge destructive ideologies and actions - Occupy, Green Action&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. be the change - cultivating inner peace, happiness, and unconditional compassion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, am I really crossing the Great Divide of alternative and mainstream culture.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How can I infiltrate the 99% who don't know what is happening?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From Fukushima to our mental environment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How do I effectively engage with people who say to me:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nuclear is good, safe, cheap, and necessary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Democracy means voting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;News is objective.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Money and consumption is happiness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, thats my ramble for the week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cultural transformation is my fascination at this moment in life,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and what I hope to study at University of Tokyo &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Grad Program in Sustainability Sciences.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On that note, a little on culture jamming.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First a definition from wikiP: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;Culture jamming denotes a tactic used by many anti-consumerist social movements to disrupt or subvert mainstream cultural institutions, including corporate advertising. Guerrilla semiotics and night discourse are sometimes used synonymously with the term culture jamming.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Culture jamming is often seen as a form of subvertising. Many culture jams are intended to expose apparently questionable political assumptions behind commercial culture. Common tactics include re-figuring logos, fashion statements, and product images as a means to challenge the idea of "what's cool" along with assumptions about the personal freedoms of consumption.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://download.creative.arte.tv/creative/flash/player.swf?videoId=2487&amp;amp;admin=false&amp;amp;mode=prod&amp;amp;embed=true&amp;amp;appContext=creative" width="450" height="255" allowfullscreen="true" name="playerArte" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking for similar minded souls.&lt;div&gt;Whether it be permaculture, democracy, nuclear abolition,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;or culture jamming.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is so much potential in the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-752423635315214489?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/752423635315214489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/11/tokyo-activism-update-and-culture.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/752423635315214489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/752423635315214489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/11/tokyo-activism-update-and-culture.html' title='Tokyo Activism Update and Culture Jamming'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-3108012982184012706</id><published>2011-11-18T08:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T18:10:48.299-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tokyo Regeneration Project'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='日本語'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nukes 原発'/><title type='text'>Occupy Kasumigaseki Japan</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eFvhP9J-dJ4/TshhVSXyJkI/AAAAAAAACRw/KH6X5i_x48U/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-11-20%2Bat%2B10.58.43.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 143px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eFvhP9J-dJ4/TshhVSXyJkI/AAAAAAAACRw/KH6X5i_x48U/s400/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-11-20%2Bat%2B10.58.43.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676894348637251138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;*日本語は真ん中から&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two projects that I'm focusing on in Tokyo for now is &lt;div&gt;1. Tokyo Urban Permaculture....project?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Occupy movement x nuclear abolition&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Other things I'm involved in and hope to integrate are:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vipassana, Order of Interbeing, Nonviolent Communication, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;culture jamming and maybe Green Party Japan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So much to do in the city!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I really miss plants though.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And fresh produce.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And hippy activist youth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyways, I started a new blog! Woohoo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A bold and dangerous move,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;perhaps even unwise!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But hopefully it will contribute in a positive way,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;so that we can grow a grassroots movement for&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;democracy, sanity, and a radiation free future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Occupy Kasumigaseki Japan:

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;東京では二つのプロジェクトに集中したいと思います。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;１．アーバンパーマカルチャーの普及&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;２．オキュパイ運動　x　脱原発運動&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;他にも、ヴィパッサナ、行動仏教、非暴力コミュニケーション、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;カルチャージャミング、そして最近知った緑の党などを&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;うまく繋げていきたいと思っています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;都会はやる事がいっぱい！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;でも植物とか新鮮で安全な野菜、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;若いヒッピーや農家や活動家が&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;恋しいです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ま、たまにそんな事を思いつつも、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;頑張っています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;そこで、オキュパイ運動　x　脱原発の&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;自分なりの最初の一歩として：&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;１．経産省テント広場の現場に行って&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;２．色んな人と話して&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;３．ブログで参加者と参加していない人達を繋げていこうと思い、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;新しいブログを始めてしまいました。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ブログの世界に飲み込まれたくな〜い！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;でも、より平和で幸せな世界を育む為の道具として、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;活用していきます。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>Money, Politics, the Occupy Movement and Youtube</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;I've been envisioning what an occupy movement would look like in Japan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The most appropriate target seems like TEPCO,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the corporation responsible for the nuclear meltdown.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like the Wall Street banks,  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;they are also receiving a huge government bailout,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;as they are "too big to fail."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a most catastrophic tragedy on so many levels.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I just met a man who is planning to dismantle TEPCO, and he made a interesting case about how it is a matter of time before they go bankrupt. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also just found out that there is an encampment around the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (also heavily responsible for the nuclear meltdown and aftermath) that started on 11/11 with 1300 people. It is a month long demonstration. This follows a ten day encampment of women from all over Japan at the same location. Looks like things are picking up in Japan. Still, as expected, there is hardly any media coverage and its hard to gauge how many people support this movement in Japan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyways, while researching about Occupy Wall Street,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I came across this impassioned man shouting about money and politics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He has a website with a petition to pass a constitutional amendment&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;to "get money out of politics."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qI_P3pxze5w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.getmoneyout.com/"&gt;http://www.getmoneyout.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and as a bonus&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Charlie Chaplin with an amazing speech.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WibmcsEGLKo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Join the movement for sanity&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;democracy,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and happiness for all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Starts in the mind,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;manifests on the streets,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and grows with each generation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-5129048610508785004?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/5129048610508785004/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/11/money-politics-occupy-movement-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/5129048610508785004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/5129048610508785004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/11/money-politics-occupy-movement-and.html' title='Money, Politics, the Occupy Movement and Youtube'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/qI_P3pxze5w/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-816425869743617794</id><published>2011-11-10T17:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T17:57:27.951-08:00</updated><title type='text'>AVAAZ: 福島の子供達を救おう</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Avaazは僕の一番好きなオンライン活動コミュニティー。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;とっても良い仕事をしていると思います。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;世界中の重要問題に素早く対応するために、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;メーリングリストを通して問題を明確に説明し、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;署名を呼びかけます。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ワンクリックで終了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ものすごく簡単です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;温暖化、宗教紛争、企業と政治汚職、環境保護、人権問題など&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;様々な世界問題に取り組んでいます。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.avaaz.org/jp/about.php"&gt;団体概要はここをクリック。&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;アメリカではこのようなオンライン活動団体は盛んですが、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;日本では聞いた事がないです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;あるのでしょうか？&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;お手軽にだれでも参加できて、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;情報を伝えてから署名を集めるスピードが早いので&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;その面では効果的だと思います。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ここで忘れてはいけないのが、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;実際マウスクリック以上の活動なしでは、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;世の中は変わらない事です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;そういう意味ではもっと家の外で活動する人達を増やさないと、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;日本の政治経済、そして文化は腐食し続ける事でしょう。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;自分たちで世の中を変えないと。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Be the change you wish to see in the world - Gandhi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;では本題へ。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Avaazより：&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;

I do think that if activism is reduced to a mere clicking of the mouse, we will ultimately lose the ability to make important changes in our problem-abundant world. But, its a low-energy way to spread the message globally, get people involved, and pressure those in power to listen to the concerned citizens of the world a little more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is the call for support:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;Right now, thousands of local residents are still trapped in the highly contaminated areas in and around Fukushima City&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;.

You can get a sense of their practice from the beautifully made video on their website.

PGL 2011, Peace without Boundaries, appeals to all those wishing to come together and work towards peace. The Conference offers an exciting line-up of presentations, workshops and posters focusing on peace activism and education. PGL also hosts a photo exhibition and workshop featuring the works of internationally-renowned photographers spreading the message of peace. We aim to include the voices of the young, the old and the excluded: the community here in Nishinomiya, through a number of collaborative projects; university students, who will lead a workshop on peace for teenagers, culminating in the creation of peace banners and murals; and the underprivileged around the world, through a Peace Banquet to benefit Table for Two&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;

I buy most of my food at a local natural food store,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but almost all the fruits have been sprayed and probably are grown with some chemical fertilisers. The main difference with fruit sold at a natural food store is that they have been sprayed fewer times. The label on the hakutou peach says 50% less and the kyohou grapes says 70% less. That's great!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, that actually tells me very little about these fruits. Instinctively, I feel good about buying these over the conventional fruits. Like buying "organic" or "fair trade" or "now 20% more!" But what do these marketing terms really mean? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And how do I consciously and unconsciously respond to them?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For instance, the label on the fruit indicates 50% less spraying. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;50% less than what?  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How many times were the fruits sprayed? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What was sprayed on them? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When were they sprayed? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How does the spraying affect the farmer, the environment, and the person who eats it? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I did end up in a conversation with the storekeeper  about this, and she was in agreement about the superficiality of that label (eg 50% less). It's a dilemma for them, as its must less attractive to buy fruit that's labeled "sprayed 6 times with chemicals"  than "50% less spraying." In fact, most people probably don't want to know about the spraying, sticking to conventional fruits that have no information about the pesticides used (and are more available, but not necessarily cheaper).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;        &lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;大好物の白桃と巨峰！&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;食材はなるべく自然食品店で買っています。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;自然食品店でなくても、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;日本の果物は高い！&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 不思議な事に日本の自然食品店では有機野菜が揃っていても、 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;有機果物を見る事がほとんどありません。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 僕が知る限り、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;有機果物の入手源は木村さんの奇跡の林檎と近所のお庭だけです。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;アメリカの西海岸では大体どこででも安く手に入るのに。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; その違いは何なのでしょう？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 気候？技術？もしくは文化とマーケット？ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;とても残念な事です。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;自然食品店の果物の利点といえば、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;農薬の散布量だそうです。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;例えば、写真の白桃は農薬５割減で巨峰は７割減と表示されています。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;農薬が少ない方がいいと思いますが、 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;何割減の表示だけでは物足りない気がします。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 例えば、何に比べて何割減なのか？ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;何回どのような農薬を散布しているか？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; いつ散布されたのか？ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;それらはどのように農家、環境、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;そして食べる人に影響を及ぼすのか？ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;これらの答えこそが健康や環境にケアする為の &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;有力な情報なのではないでしょうか？ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;店員の人にこのようなお話をした時、 同感していました。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; お店側としては難しいとこです。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;例えば、【農薬５０％減】と【OO農薬７回散布】の間では&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; 一番目の表示の方が売れるでしょう。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; 寧ろ何も表示がない方が気分よく消費できるかもしれません。 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;消費文化のモットーは &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;【知らぬが仏】&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MgqAnPJWC9U/Tn__pDG4U4I/AAAAAAAACK0/KNiYEbgvl6o/s1600/IMG_3585.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MgqAnPJWC9U/Tn__pDG4U4I/AAAAAAAACK0/KNiYEbgvl6o/s320/IMG_3585.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656520737674515330" style="cursor: pointer;

peach, &lt;i&gt;kyoho&lt;/i&gt; grapes, and &lt;i&gt;nashi &lt;/i&gt;(Japanese pear).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I love them!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And mangos (not in Japan).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 宮崎産のパパイヤ。&lt;br /&gt;日本で果物などを消費する時に一番ためらってしまう理由は、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; プラスチックのゴミを一緒に渡さられてしまう事です。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 例えば、上のパパイヤは発泡スチロールのネットに包まれていて、 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;プラスチックのケース付きで売られています。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; さらには、薄いプラスチック袋に入れられる事があり、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 最終的には他のプラスチック包みの商品と一緒に、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 大きなポリ袋で渡されます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;おかしくありませんか？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;プラスチックは貴重な石油資源からつくられています。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;それらの殆どは全部燃やされるか&lt;a href="http://www.greenpeace.or.jp/campaign/toxics/zerowaste/word/word5_html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ダウンサイクル&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;されてしまいます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;そして、生産から最終処理まで有毒物質（環境ホルモンなど）が放出され、 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;それらは空気や食糧を通して僕たちの体に侵入して、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 体に害を与えるようです。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;生産された瞬間から有害なゴミとなる運命なのです。 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;全ては消費の為に！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; まさしく【有毒文化】&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;日本だけでも何千万人の人があらゆるプラスチック包装を 毎日捨てているのです。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 日本に帰るたんびに唖然としてしまいます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; なぜこのような明らかに損が多い行為を この時代になっても普通に続けられるのか？&lt;br /&gt;勿論、自分の袋を持っていくのは一つの手段ですし、 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;僕の場合はそのまま商品を腕に抱えながら持ち帰る事が多いのですが、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; 結局ある程度の包装は買わざる終えないのです。 例えば、桃の周りのネットやブドウの袋。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;アメリカでは野菜や果物に関しては、 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;スーパーででも商品だけを買う事ができます。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;つまり、プラスチックのゴミを買わなくてもすむのです。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;でも、やっぱり僕の好物は日本の白桃や巨峰と梨です。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;あとは（日本&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;では買いませんが）マンゴー。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;もうすぐ大衆の意識が変わらざる終えない時が来ると思います。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ポスト消費文化の時代。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;気象変動、ピークオイル、経済の不安定化、福島原発などは&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;消費文化の崩壊の証ではないでしょうか。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-1378881272869219268?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/1378881272869219268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/09/fruit-scene-in-tokyo.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/1378881272869219268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/1378881272869219268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/09/fruit-scene-in-tokyo.html' title='FRUIT SCENE IN TOKYO　東京の果物と消費文化'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PeDYveaBQeA/Tn__ozCnBeI/AAAAAAAACKs/ldsPa_j85NQ/s72-c/IMG_3480.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-2587807729851444015</id><published>2011-09-24T21:38:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-07T17:37:43.549-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pictures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food 食'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bullocks Permaculture Homestead'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='日本語'/><title type='text'>Fruits at the Bullocks 　ブロックスの果物</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Life at the Bullocks is shockingly different from my life in Tokyo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Food, specifically fruits, is one such difference.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The following are the fruits I ate the first full day at the Bullocks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fantastically delicious,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and as fresh as it gets!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 second from plant to mouth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Much more dynamic flavor profile than what I experience in Japan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tis the season for fruit abundance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ブロックスでの生活と東京での生活は身にしみる程&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;別世界です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;その一側面を紹介します。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;果物オタク達のパラダイス。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ブロックスに到着してから２４時間の間に食べた果物。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;新鮮さが格別です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;植物から口に入るまで、一秒！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;同じ果物でも品種によって味が多様で充実しています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;しかも全て有機！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cvVgS7imauw/Tn6zAYdj1nI/AAAAAAAACG8/P5kdp8E_j4c/s1600/IMG_3753.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cvVgS7imauw/Tn6zAYdj1nI/AAAAAAAACG8/P5kdp8E_j4c/s320/IMG_3753.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656155001171727986" style="cursor: pointer;

15px;"&gt;国際金融経済や消費文化の問題が身近に感じられる様になった今、世界各国で市民が自分たちの手で社会の改善に取り組む運動が活発化しています。そんな中、トランジションタウンと似たシティーリペア運動（オレゴン州）がアメリカで注目を浴びています。パーマカルチャー活動を町中で解き放つ（発揮する？）事により住民がより心地よく、人と人の繋がりを育む、美しい町を作り出しているのです。市民の繋がりに重要なパブリックスペースが減り続ける中、プレイスメイキング活動で人が集まって繋がりあう「場」を取り返し始めています。交差点に色鮮やかなヒマワリ、街角には一休みできる人魚型のベンチ、そして住民が共有するピザオーブンやサウナ。全ては住民が協力し合って自分たちの手で楽しく作った物です。子供も芸術家、デザイナー、そして職人として活躍しています。町が住民化する新時代の一例です。http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

type='html'>What happened to permaculture? &lt;div&gt;I thought this was a permaculture blog?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why all this protest talk?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Its all part of the global sustainability movement,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;rooted in grassroots efforts to redefine our cultural paradigm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Whether it be people growing food, withdrawing from consumerism,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;challenging corrupt governments and seemingly omnipotent corporations,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;protesting on the streets, dumpster diving, starting ecovillages,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;its all part of an emerging global revolution to reconnect with life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;An awakening  to the reality that if we don't change,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we will destroy each other and our life-support system,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;in the name of jobs, economy, and "national security".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some of us experience the severity of the situation much more than others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I imagine the increasing ecological and geo-political refugees all over the world,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and other victims of conflict are some of the people who experience it the hardest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And even if you are living in a wonderful ecovillage&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;or are wealthy enough to stay away from most dangers,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;like radioactive rain,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;all of us will get a dose of the unpleasantness at some point.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Radiation and pollution knows no boarders or social-class.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My conviction is that,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we can change the situation,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but it really needs to be a big WE.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yes we can!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But only if WE DO IT.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not Obama, not Democrats,  not the Tea Party, not the UN, not Green Peace, etc,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;you, me, and everybody else.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nobody can do it for us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And as much as much as recycling, growing food, voting, buying local,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;is good and perhaps a step in the right direction,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the toxic currents in our international political-economic and cultural systems,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;need to be stopped and radically transformed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We need to decentralise political-economic power.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Corruption thrives on concentrated power,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;like disease in a pool of factory farmed hog shit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If 9/11, the wars in the middle east, the economic crash, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;bailing out the banks that gambled away our future,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;bailing out the energy company that was too cheap to build a tsunami barrier high enough as instructed, and being irradiated by nuclear power plants that are supposedly safe and eco,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;is not enough an impetus to stop our daily routine and take drastic action,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;then my question is, what will? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thats my thought process at the moment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am angry about the way things are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A healthy anger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can go about my daily tasks, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;enjoy food,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;laugh,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;love,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and still be aware that there is good reason to be angry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thats my rant of the week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;its not eloquent nor well thought out,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but it is what it is, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;emotionful thoughts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And I am genuinely interested in learning about how we can change this reality,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and how we can get more people proactively involved.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I need to go take my medication

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;９／１１に様々な脱原発アクションが予定されています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;家族でお気軽に行ける集会から、ダイレクトアクションまではば広いデモが行われるようです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;僕の初めてのプロテストは、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;カリフォルニア州立大学で行われたアフガニスタン侵入の反対デモでした。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;最初はちょっとお祭り気分で参加したのですが、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;だんだんと社会問題への意識が深まり始めたのです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;何もないかのように予定通り毎日を続ける人から、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;何かが間違っている、何かしないと、と思う人に変身した大切な日でした。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;デモは人々の間で繋がりを築き、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;市民の為の社会を切り開く素敵な活動です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;「しょーうがない」症候群から脱却する招待状でもあります。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;参加してみませんか？&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

There are demonstrations planned through Japan and probably in several other cities around the globe. Whether it be terrorist attacks of 9/11, invasions of Afganistan and Iraq, global economic collapse, tax-money bailouts for the wealthiest gamblers (privatised profits socialised losses) including TEPCO, soaring unemployment, "democracies" that do not represent the masses, lamestream 24 hour entertainment "news" (Fox, CNN, etc), booming weapons industry, nuclear meltdown, etc etc. our world is seriously fucked up. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Things are changing rapidly whether we like it or not. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Democracy, freedom, and justice are only real if we practice them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They are not just for political rhetoric and T-shirt logos. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From the Muslim Spring to the demonstrations in Europe, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;to the socially obedient Japanese in the streets against nukes, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;more and more people are taking direct action for a better world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The time for action is always now. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Everybody is invited.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Below is a website I found with info about various actions in Japan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is in Japanese.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今週の９／１１に行われるデモをまとめたサイトを見つけました。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://nonukes.jp/wordpress/"&gt;http://nonukes.jp/wordpress/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some of the highlighted events on 9/11 include&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ハイライトされているイベント：&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://2011shinsai.info/node/540"&gt;Human chain at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;経産省「人間の鎖」一万人の包囲アクション&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.enepare.org/"&gt;Energy Shift Parade from Yoyogi Park to Meiji Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;エネルギーシフトパレード／代々木から明治公園&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.be-in-tokyo.net/"&gt;Be-in at Meiji Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;BE-IN 集会／明治公園&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://911shinjuku.tumblr.com/"&gt;Stop the nukes!

Most might just say, "you don't." But, as I have no easy choices in my life at the moment, I want to go deeper than that answer. It sucks but its a reality for many. Just like war. We need to deal with it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, what insights and practical applications does permaculture offer for these situations?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1x4YKCC0VZI/TmHabiiBvaI/AAAAAAAACDk/IBwdtQbFYHI/s1600/turtle-logo-stylized-black-72.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1x4YKCC0VZI/TmHabiiBvaI/AAAAAAAACDk/IBwdtQbFYHI/s320/turtle-logo-stylized-black-72.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5648035574360161698" style="cursor: pointer;

I'll try to keep my blog updated on that front.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今はなるべくネットワークを広げながら、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;日本で行われている面白そうなプロジェクト、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;有力なコミュニティーなどと繋がりを作っていこうとしています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;金銭的な制限もありますが。。。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are a few crazy projects I've been day dreaming about:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;いくつかのプロジェクトを考えています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;1.

I've written a bit about Kazuichi in the past and hopefully I will write more soon, but this entry is about Akinori and his "Miracle Apples."&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;奇跡の林檎という本を読んだ事がありますか？&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;なければ是非読んでみてください。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;とても感動的なお話で、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;サステナビリティー革命のための大切なヒントが秘められていると思います。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不可能を可能にすること。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;だれもが無理だと思う事に挑戦し、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;どんどん実現させて生きましょう。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;【不可能】とは想像力の欠如なのです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;みんなでやれば木村さんの様に&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;孤独に苦しむ必要もありません。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;木村さんの努力と自然に感謝！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;因にオノ・ヨーコさんが感動のあまり、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;英語の翻訳を依頼して、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ネットに公開しています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;リンクは記事の一番下です。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bI1JhITa0FE/TlZKJfwqv1I/AAAAAAAACBE/f6AWI0uP5Cs/s1600/20100603_.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bI1JhITa0FE/TlZKJfwqv1I/AAAAAAAACBE/f6AWI0uP5Cs/s400/20100603_.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644780709960400722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Above is the bestseller book that introduced me to this amazing man.&lt;br /&gt;Later, I watched a TV show that made him even more famous&lt;br /&gt;and reignited the consciousness of the Japanese masses about chemical-free foods.&lt;br /&gt;It is "common sense" that you can't grow fruits without chemicals in mainstream Japan.&lt;div&gt;Especially apples. &lt;div&gt;That's why its called the miracle apple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember doing a presentation about natural farming at the PDC this year, and Doug Bullock having a hard time believing the apple story. Not an unusual response as the growing season in Japan is rainy and hot, which is an ideal environment for pests like bugs and fungi to flourish. From the book, &lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Research in Japan suggests that if pesticides are not used, apple yields decline by at least 90 per cent due to damage caused by pests....&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;[Apple trees are] subject to major damage which results in a reduction in yield to 10 per cent or less of annual average yield cannot produce blossom the following year. Without blossom, there will of course be no fruit. In other words, if pesticides are not used for two continuous years, the apple crop will almost certainly drop to zero. Unless pesticides are used, this situation cannot be turned around....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Attacks by huge swarms of destructive insects, diseases spreading like wildfire … the history of apple growing is also one of the futile battles against insects and disease. One ray of light illuminating the battlefield was pesticides. Had pesticides not been developed, apple growing would have disappeared in Aomori Prefecture ages ago. The idea of growing apples without pesticides is nothing but nonsense. All apple farmers are convinced of this. The question is, why was Kimura [not] taken in by it?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Whether it be Akinori or Masanobu Fukuoka, what strikes me is their relentless curiosity and exceptional observation skills. Deep observation seems to be the key element for succeeding in natural farming....and in any of life's tasks for that matter. Seeing reality for what it is. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pests, diseases, and weeds are indicators of ecological balance and plant health. Instead of seeing these as "enemies" to fight against, we can appreciate them as information about our environment, and receive them as a challenging opportunity to look deeply into root causes. Same with people and their actions. If we really understand the unmet needs of ourselves and others, we can come up with better strategies to meet those needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A common experience that these natural farming pioneers went through is intense hardship. To be a farmer and have no harvest is devastating in itself. But to be ostracized by your community and at times threatened, in addition to shaming your family because they were attempting something new must have been excruciating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, this book is very touching and entertaining, and the two Japanese women I lent it to cried while reading it. Very touching story. Its one man's quest to attempt the impossible, and is filled with interesting stories of Japanese culture, and even aliens! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unfortunately, it's in Japanese.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, after reading the book on a flight from Japan to NYC, Yoko Ono was deeply moved. She had it translated and posted the text on the web for all to enjoy! Many thanks to Yoko, the original author, and of course Akinori, who almost commit suicide after six years of failing in his attempts and suffering immensely along with his family. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If there's a will, there's a way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the book in full&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://imaginepeace.com/miracleapples/"&gt;http://imaginepeace.com/miracleapples/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-6567657041252877507?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/6567657041252877507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/08/natural-farming-miracle-apple.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/6567657041252877507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/6567657041252877507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/08/natural-farming-miracle-apple.html' title='Natural Farming the Miracle Apple 奇跡の林檎'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bI1JhITa0FE/TlZKJfwqv1I/AAAAAAAACBE/f6AWI0uP5Cs/s72-c/20100603_.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-4924167344865991950</id><published>2011-08-23T21:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-25T00:41:11.236-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='systems sciences'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='本 Books'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='システム思考'/><title type='text'>Insights from "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" 「成長の限界」（改訂新版）</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ymGiOHuUec/TlSEmimUpcI/AAAAAAAACA0/pRDms4bqDJw/s1600/imgres-6.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ymGiOHuUec/TlSEmimUpcI/AAAAAAAACA0/pRDms4bqDJw/s400/imgres-6.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644282030659511746" style="cursor: pointer;

background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: small; "&gt;】&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;社会をシステムとして見て、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;どうシステムを巧妙に変えられるかを考えてみよう！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;　　Firstly…information is the key to transformation. That does not necessarily mean &lt;i&gt;more &lt;/i&gt;information…It means &lt;i&gt;relevant, compelling, select, powerful, timely, accurate&lt;/i&gt; information flowing in new ways to new recipients, carrying new content, suggesting new rules and goals. When its &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;infomation&lt;/span&gt; flows are changed, any system will behave differently. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;社会改革を起こす為に必要なのは【情報】です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;しかし、ただ情報量を増やすのではなく、適切で、説得力があり、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;選び出された強力でタイムリーで正確な情報が&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;必要だと著者は主張しています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;新しい形で新しいオーディエンスにこの情報が流れなければ行けません。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;情報の流れが変われば&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;システムの動きが変わります。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;　　Secondly, systems strongly resist changes in their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;infomation&lt;/span&gt; flows, especially in their rules and goals. It is not surprising that those who benefit from the current system actively oppose such revision. Entrenched political, economic, and religious cliques can constrain almost entirely the attempts of an individual or small group to operate by different rules or to attain goals different from those sanctioned by the system. Innovators can be ignored, marginalised, ridiculed, denied promotions or resources or public voices... they can be literally or figuratively snuffed out.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;システムというものは情報の流れの変化に抵抗します。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;特にルールや目的への変化。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;現在のシステムで有利な人達（強力な政治、経済、宗教関係者の派閥など）は変化を妨げます。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;革新者は無視されたり、過小評価されたり、馬鹿にされたり、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;昇格や資源や自由に考えを表明する事を拒まれるのです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;社会から消されたりもします。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;　　Only innovators, however - by perceiving the need for new info, rules, and goals, communicating about them, and trying them out - can make the changes that transform systems…Margret Mead, "Never deny the power of a small group of committed individuals to change the world. Indeed that is the only thing that ever has." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;しかし、現代に必要な新しい情報、ルール、ゴールに気付いた革新者達が&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;情報を広め、実践する事によりシステムを変える事ができるのです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ミード・マーガレット氏はこういいました、「人数が少ないからといって世界を変える力はないと侮ってはいけません。世界を変えてきたのはまさしく少数の力なのです。」&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;　　We have learned the hard way that it is difficult to live a life of material moderation within a system that expects, exhorts, and rewards consumption... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;私たちは、消費を期待し、勧告し、報酬するシステムの中で、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;物質的な節度を実践する難しさを身をもって学なんできました。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;　　Above all, it is difficult to put forth new info in a system that is structured to hear only old info. Just try, sometime, to question in public the value of more growth, or even to make a distinction between growth and development, and you will see what we mean. It takes courage and clarity to challenge an established system. But it can be done.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;何よりも、今までと同じ情報しか受け入れないシステムに&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;新しい情報を提示するのは難しいのです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;確立したシステムに立ち向かうためには、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;勇気と精神的な明晰さが必要です。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;しかし、やればできます。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At the very end of the book they explain the following essential tools for the revolution: visioning, networking, truth-telling, learning, and loving.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When I read systems science literature, I keep thinking about how much change could happen if we had the same determination, resources, and commitment to sustainability as marketers have to selling us unnecessary stuff (aka &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;thneeds&lt;/span&gt;), or those who worked tirelessly to manifest the second Iraq invasion in 2003 (the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;neo&lt;/span&gt;-conservatives?). Those guys must work hard and effectively to achieve their goals. Very impressive...and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;disastrously&lt;/span&gt; tragic. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Time to plant more weeds of peace and happiness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;本の最後に革命に必要な【道具】について説明があります。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;それらは：ビジョンニング、ネットワーキング、真実を語る事、学ぶ事&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;そして愛する事。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nN-lM05zcUA/TlSEm_53VQI/AAAAAAAACA8/cT422Hn9zx4/s1600/4460258790_17c9a12af2_b.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nN-lM05zcUA/TlSEm_53VQI/AAAAAAAACA8/cT422Hn9zx4/s400/4460258790_17c9a12af2_b.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644282038526104834" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;*copied from http://www.flickr.com/photos/wheatfields/4460258790/ on 8.24.11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5140376099467331532-4924167344865991950?l=livingpermaculture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/feeds/4924167344865991950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/08/insights-from-limits-to-growth-30-year.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/4924167344865991950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5140376099467331532/posts/default/4924167344865991950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2011/08/insights-from-limits-to-growth-30-year.html' title='Insights from &quot;Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update&quot; 「成長の限界」（改訂新版）'/><author><name>Kai 海</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ymGiOHuUec/TlSEmimUpcI/AAAAAAAACA0/pRDms4bqDJw/s72-c/imgres-6.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-1804883445492237221</id><published>2011-08-21T00:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-21T15:48:20.862-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Tired of primitive living......</title><content type='html'>why not try civilisation!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/q7JRiIXP30U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;While reading the chapter "Tools for the Transition to Sustainability" in the book &lt;i&gt;Limits to Growth: The 30-year Update&lt;/i&gt;, I was reminded of the video above. The authors of the book state,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Sustainability and sufficiency and equity require structural change; they require a revolution, not in the political sense, like the French Revolution, but in the much more profound sense of the agricultural or industrial revolutions. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This sort of call for a cultural paradigm shift seems to be the theme of much of what I've been reading recently, like &lt;i&gt;Sustainability by Design&lt;/i&gt; by Ehrenfeld and &lt;i&gt;State of the World 2010: Transforming Cultures From Consumerism to Sustainability&lt;/i&gt; by the World Watch Institute. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How to do that is what I want to explore and experiment with. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyways, the chapter in Limits to Growth then briefly explains the essence of the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions and its implications. Then they quote historian Donald Worster,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The capitalists...promised that, through the technological dominiation of the earth, they could deliver a more fair, rational, efficient and productive life for everyone...Their method was simply to free individual enterprise from the bonds of traditional hierarchy and community, whether the bondage derived from other humans or the earth...&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and that triggered the neurons that reminded me of the youtube video, which triggered further neurons that wrote this entry. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, back to reading the section titled, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"The Next Revolution:

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Doug Bullock encouraged me to meet his good friend Mayumi on the Big Island before I left for Japan. I think they know each other back from when the Bullocks lived in Hawaii as "feral hippies". She has been a dedicated activist on socio-environmental issues and nuclear abolition, both areas I have been involved in the West Coast. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This past winter I visited her retreat center, farm and home, Ginger Hill, near Kealakekua bay.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The site is exceptionally beautiful and lush with tropical plants, a mandala garden and a tropical food forest designed by Doug. Similar to the Bullocks, she started with very little and has tirelessly developed the land to the delightful refuge that it is today. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ginger Hill Website: &lt;a href="http://gingerhillfarm.com/"&gt;http://gingerhillfarm.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mayumi offers a program she calls "Goddess Training", a spiritual journey through yoga, meditation, healing foods (e.g. taro), organic gardening, coaching, and various other activities to develop a deep connection with the inner-self and the world. She is an extremely generous person, actively promoting peace and sustainability through various channels such as art, Goddess training, activism, etc. It seems like she has an extensive social network of alternative people from Hawaiian sovereignty activists to traditional Japanese crafts people, to people like Paul Hawken and Masanobu Fukuoka.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mayumi contacted me this winter to visit Morokino, a rural village in Nara prefecture. In fact, I was with her on the way to this village when the big earthquake and tsunami hit on March 11.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is part of a letter Mayumi wrote:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;We have been gifted eight large houses to bring youth to the area to help rejuvenate the local agriculture of the land by planting green tea, rice, etc. It was after I arrived in this village that I heard news of the devastating earthquake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;For ten years, I worked so hard to make the Japanese government and people aware of the dangers nuclear reactors posed to the well being of Japan and its people if damaged by an earthquake or other natural disaster. When our group, Plutonium Free Future, together with many other organizations, could not succeed at convincing the Japanese government and decision-making bodies that this threat was dire, I retired to Hawaii and started to farm. My goal was to bring Japanese people to my land on the Big Island to teach them how to farm and live sustainably - with a special hope that they could then help their own friends and families in Japan during a time of disaster. That time has unfortunately arrived.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;However, we have the amazing gift of the village in Morokino and we can start working on site in Japan right now. People that I have trained in sustainable farming are already starting to move there to serve as models for living in harmony with the earth in peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Her vision is of a "buddhist utopia" (not necessarily the religion but a practice of mindfulness) designed to support youth from across the world to experience community living espousing the values of peace and sustainability. I've also been hoping to find or create a permaculture community site with a solid mindful living practice for some time now. Both Deer Park Monastery in San Diego and the Bullocks Permaculture Homestead on Orcas have been major influences on my vision.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vsV2SBIxaaw/TiYx7RdVD7I/AAAAAAAAB7s/u9kNcU7gVt4/s1600/P3110088.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vsV2SBIxaaw/TiYx7RdVD7I/AAAAAAAAB7s/u9kNcU7gVt4/s400/P3110088.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631243278441844658" style="cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Slight tangent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was a new experience for me to watch artists nerd out on their trades and finished products. A very stimulating moment of passionate artists sharing their excitements, much like the Bullocks talking about plants and tools.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think his (the man pictured) trade is called "hyouguya". Most likely a dying trade like many other Japanese arts. His job is to draw out the beauty of the art piece, often calligraphy,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;through the use of various fancy decorative papers. As this is his passion, he started to pull out many of these handmade papers and shared his excitement. Some of these papers are actually made of thin silver, gold, and even platinum threads. Extremely intricate and luxurious, and the price per foot was shocking!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The serving of tea and snacks is called &lt;i&gt;omotenashi&lt;/i&gt; and is a common hospitality practice. It brings me great joy to be a guest in Japan, and to serve guests with &lt;i&gt;omotenashi.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We visited three different sets of people on this trip and each presented us with hot tea and sweets from their region.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And now we head to Morokino village......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A3Gh_GvA6DA/TiYwchB__LI/AAAAAAAAB7U/Ip0qgyEgwUo/s1600/P3110109.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A3Gh_GvA6DA/TiYwchB__LI/AAAAAAAAB7U/Ip0qgyEgwUo/s400/P3110109.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631241650534612146" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Snow capped ume (prunus mume) flowers greet us at the entrance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4IAaqk7eQdw/TiYwcFXrhlI/AAAAAAAAB7M/Glv_CTEBD7I/s1600/P3110116.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4IAaqk7eQdw/TiYwcFXrhlI/AAAAAAAAB7M/Glv_CTEBD7I/s400/P3110116.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631241643109353042" style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Morokino village rice terraces covered in powdery snow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The village is enclosed by a dense sugi (Japanese Cedar or Cryptomeria japonica) forest like many parts of Japan. The forest gives off a feeling of isolation from the rest of the world, not unlike the Bullocks Permaculture Homestead on Orcas Island. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sugi is very beautiful and an awesome resource base as a construction material among other things. It is the national tree of Japan; there are some that are thousands of years old known as yakusugi. I remember visiting a hemp baron's house in Tochigi Prefecture with three "rouka" (hallways/corridors) made of yakusugi boards, each at a value of hundred-million yen (over a million dollars)!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ubOtiqDHsfQ/TiYwboH2fsI/AAAAAAAAB7E/VBTWl7QTQ4U/s1600/P3110120.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ubOtiqDHsfQ/TiYwboH2fsI/AAAAAAAAB7E/VBTWl7QTQ4U/s400/P3110120.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631241635258334914" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Morokino Village&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like many rural villages in Japan, Morokino is challenged with an ageing population and few to no youth. I've heard of shrines and other old structures being deconstructed in some villages because they have become safety hazards, as none of the residents are fit enough to rake the snow off roofs and do yearly structural maintenance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tkt2NsGSMMQ/TiYwbe--VMI/AAAAAAAAB68/hkiwAt0qNY4/s1600/P3110137.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tkt2NsGSMMQ/TiYwbe--VMI/AAAAAAAAB68/hkiwAt0qNY4/s400/P3110137.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631241632805180610" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After cakes, tea snacks, tea, coffee, and a discussion about the future of Morokino Village,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we stopped by the house of a paint brush craftsman. His brushes are specifically designed for different styles of calligraphy, and Mayumi was looking to get one for her upcoming children's book.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He taught us about the various animal hairs he combines to get the ideal mix for the various purposes associated to calligraphy. Its really interesting to explore different peoples' passions and refined crafts. I love it. I also appreciate meeting artists and realising so much common ground between my vision and their lives.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ME7CoVOyOb0/TiYt47lXVSI/AAAAAAAAB60/YyNAQRjQICE/s1600/P3120153.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ME7CoVOyOb0/TiYt47lXVSI/AAAAAAAAB60/YyNAQRjQICE/s400/P3120153.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631238840163718434" style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The following day, we visited a dormant farm that is quite close to Nara Station. After driving past a series of terraced rice paddies surrounded by a large sugi forest, we arrived at the scene above.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qUEZezEVKpc/TiYt4op6lvI/AAAAAAAAB6s/8yq-E6LgKzY/s1600/P3120146.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qUEZezEVKpc/TiYt4op6lvI/AAAAAAAAB6s/8yq-E6LgKzY/s400/P3120146.JPG" border
