Douglas Brooks joins the show again this month to talk about his 10th apprenticeship with a traditional Japanese boatbuilder in Hiroshima as well as other projects in 2026.
His backstory is that he had a roommate from Hiroshima at University and when he first visited Japan as a backpacker he got bored of the typical sightseeing, but fascinated by wooden traditional Japanese boats he found his way into an apprenticeship. This has led to 9 apprentices with traditional wooden boatbuilders in Japan - often as their only and last apprentice before they retire.

Wonderful discussion here with educator, author, architect & artist Azby Brown where he shares his deep insights into the beauty and meaningful design of traditional buildings and art where you can see the I WAS HERE mark of the human who crafted it. There is a warning here from Azby Brown about our fast shift to destroy these handcrafted things of value (like MINKA) in the rush to embrace technology and AI - this will not make us happy and will DESKILL and UNSKILL us.

Sustainable travel definitely includes plantbased dining, but independent vegan travelers struggle with Japan travel as there are fewer options and sometimes hard work to research and explain what you need. World Vegan Travel does the research and tour plan for vegan travelers around the world and has great insights on Japan travel.
Brighde Reed is co-founder of World Vegan Travel Company and a plantbased expert for Japan and other parts of Asia and the world where they run their tours focused on supporting vegan travelers who want meaningful, fun, engaging and on track with their plantbased eating lifestyle values.

With more than 406 million subscribers, Jimmy Donaldson- better known as Mr.Beast- has become the most successful YouTuber by doing outrageous acts of generosity.
The fact that Mr.Beast’s strategy of using video revenue, sponsorship and collaboration to fund lifechanging projects around the world is an inspiration to any of us trying to go above and beyond the status quo to do-good for others and the environment.
Spending a month off work was a perfect excuse to binge Mr.Beast’s unscripted reality gameshow called BEAST GAMES for Amazon Prime. I was in good company as one of 50 Million viewers in its first month.

I hope you are surviving your first month of 2025 with a sense of hope and enthusiasm for what we can do this year.
Of course, there is a lot of depressing news these days. The fires in LA and being bombarded by unethical governance in the US is hard to take. But there is still some hope for this year in terms of sustainable strategy, innovation and creative passionate folks doing good work.
This podcast features the audio from a Jan 27th 2025 talk I gave to an enthusiastic group of amazing local women in Hiroshima Japan. I loved meeting them all and seeing their smiles and nodding heads as I talked about the things I love about Hiroshima, stories we need to tell of women in Japan's history, and some of the most impactful and inspiring stories of sustainable tourism at work in our area of Japan.
Talking about sustainable tourism strategy, branding and inspiring examples of success from Alex Kerr & his traditional MINKA to guest house projects, to Onomichi, to Setoda, to Kamikatsu, to Mukaishima, Teshima, Omishima, and AiAii on Awaiji island.
I hope you also find some new and inspiring ideas here that give you hope for a brighter future in travel and how we want to do business and live our lives.
An interesting and inspiring first talk of 2025 here with the amazing Alex Kerr who has spent his entire life focused on a better Japan through his book writing, consulting, business projects. Also, in recent years has also added a love of design, traditions and life in Thailand to his life focus.
In this episode, Alex takes us through the design and process of making his thatch home in Chang Mai Thailand. Then we discuss some of his insights and ideas for better rural development tourism strategies in Japan based on Museums, Food, and Old House Reuse.

It’s January 2025 which is a perfect time for me to share some goals for this year of the snake as well as highlight positive insights from Japan to give you a more proactive slither start to the year than a defensive coil.

Originally from Melbourne Australia, Rowie Geraerts has found a home and supportive community in the town of Nozawa Onsen in Nagano, Japan.
Rowie describes her career in Japan as an entrepreneur as a stopover before settling down which became a place to start planting roots. In Australia she says she always felt she was an easy-going water-baby, but has found more focus to run businesses among mountain people in the village of Nozawa Onsen where she has set up a yoga studio, runs wellness retreats and started a vegan cafe called SHIZEN.
At the end of our Seek-Sustainable-Japan talk in December, bonus clips from my in-person chat with her at her beautiful FUNKY COTTAGE - introduced by village Minka (traditional home) ambassador Ed Stratham:

I had a great opportunity to talk with kids in 5th grade this month about sustainability and sdg's to simplify the key concepts- it was a great reminder that simplification is the standard I use use for all talks - especially for the sustainable tourism and travel talk I am giving to a general audience at the beginning of next year.
Let's keep issues clear and simple so that the possibilities for positive change can stand out more clearly.

So grateful for the beautiful colors of autumn this time of year and family and friend gatherings over amazing foods- a time to show KANSHA gratitude for Japan's amazing farmers- especially those who are also regenerating the land, educating those eager to learn, reusing old AKIYA houses and rebuilding dying rural communities!

On September 27th 2024 - the ruling LDP party will choose their next president from a group of seven candidates, but there are 3 top contenders are in the spotlight: Kishida, Ishiba and Takaichi.
Sustainability is the underlying theme of all the big issues for the next Japan Prime Minister: energy, tax & social issues - it's worth having a look at how the top-3 contenders differ on these key issues. The pushback in Japan rural areas for Mega-Solar farms, alternative strategies, and upcoming rooftop solar initiatives in Tokyo are also discussed here.

Andrew Russell is originally from Scotland, but has been living and brewing sake in Japan for more than 8 years. In winter, Andrew is busy brewing sake from Oct to Mar each year, but during the off-brewing season, he gives excellent Sake tours in the famous brewing region of Nada in Hyogo. This is the third sake brewing area in Japan where he has worked with a local brewer.
Originally from Scotland, Andrew has a MA in Japanese studies and has worked in 3 sake breweries in Okayama, 3 in Hiroshima and now 3 in Nada so he has a deep understanding and appreciation for Sake in Japan.
I've heard Andrew's Sake tour is amazing - he has first hand experience using tools in the sake museum and knows how important each of the ingredients and processes are to the final resulting sake taste, aroma and look.
I have enjoyed listening to many of his insights into the history, culture and people of the sake world in Japan- he is the co-host of the Sake Deep Dive podcast.
My first talk in 2022 with Andrew here when he was brewing with FUKUCHO headed by Miho Imada in Akitsu Hiroshima: https://www.youtube.com/live/_FM1gbdgnjo?si=YPS4VK-WDPoJtpdh

I have a great love for the sustainability of Japanese indigo. It can be grown without pesticides while capturing carbon and restoring the soil, it can be used without damage to the people who work with it and it can be put down the drain without damage to the environment and waterways- a perfect solution to our modern textile needs. Aizome also has anti-bacterial properties which help keep the wearer healthy- it also looks great, preserves Japanese culture and traditions and is a great asset to a business and the local economy.
Sally Hancox is originally from the UK but co-founded this AiAii business with her husband. They have been based on Awaji Island raising a family since 2015 and opened their own indigo dye shop & workshop called AiAii in 2020. They grow their own plants, ferment and create the dyes, create beautiful products, as well as do workshops for visitors.
https://aiaii.blue/pages/en
"We love how modern some of the results of the ancient methods appear, and we also like inventing our own apparatus and techniques, or borrowing and blending with indigo dyeing methods from around the world." - Sally

Minka Summit 2024 Schedule: https://kominkajapan.org/schedule-at-a-glance-2024
2024 is set to be the biggest year yet for international visitors coming to Japan and while most news articles focus on overtourism and the bad apples in the crowd- I’d like to highlight how inbound tourism is having a positive influence on the local people, planet, proactive mindset and a more sustainable economy. Also, ideas for how we might appeal to more of these “good tourists” to enjoy Japan travel.

This year was the 3rd annual Minka Summit and we went back to the beautiful Hanase Village in rural Kyoto for the 3-day event. Old houses in Japan built in traditional style with beams fitted together beautifully are called Minka and if a house is over 100 years old, called a Kominka...
As a part of the 2024 Minka Summit in rural Kyoto, we had the chance to visit the stunning KAYABUKI thatch roof MINKA traditional home and atelier art studio of talented design team 2m26 Mélanie and Sebastien. Here Mélanie talks about the process of changing their roof from metal and tile back to natural straw thatch roof over the last year.

Brett works on Ojika island (Nagasaki) and elsewhere in Japan (new project in Nagano) under the business name “Okibi”. Here he talks about the ups and downs of fixing up old houses, reusing local materials, being as sustainable as possible with renewable energy, natural materials, community building and even beach cleanup activities as a part of his philosophy to make abandoned houses livable so they can be enjoyed again.
Brett joined the Seek Sustainable Japan talkshow in 2022 and is speaking on 2 panels in this year's Minka Summit event in Hanase Village, Kyoto.
2022 Talk with Brett Rasmussen: https://www.youtube.com/live/qdcgmmODZkE?si=Ew0kWfflo0XeDh8O
In this talk, Brett will give us an update about his recent projects and insights into traditional Japanese carpentry and house design which he has been learning and practicing to save some old houses in renovation projects.
Joinery, plastering, bamboo walls, pounded flooring and disassembly of beams for repair or reuse.
Find out more about Brett's projects and future opportunities to join workshops and stays in one of the houses he has worked on, or visit a local onsen he built the sauna for, so many great Brett projects to explore when we visit.

The Noto peninsula was rocked by one of Japan's strongest earthquakes on Jan 1, 2024. Bernd Schellhorn and Mitsue Nagase are residents of the Noto peninsula area who chose to move there from Kyoto and make it their home.
Bernd and Mitsue have been on the Seek-Sustainable-Japan talkshow before sharing insights about Shojin-Ryori and Photography. This time, however, they will share some of their stories of survival in the Noto Peninsula, where they live.
This Noto Peninsula area had a devastating earthquake on the 1st of January this year, and even months later, they still have strong aftershock quakes.
Bernd and Mitsue will talk about their experiences as residents in the disaster area, and also what's happening for aide and community re-building.
Unfortunately, many people feel forced to leave, but Bernd and Mitsue will talk about how the people who want to stay are planning for the next stage of life in the Noto area and some of the challenges they face.

What sustainable trends, events and innovations are on our radar this month (February 2024) Japan?
Ayumi & Uberto are an international couple living in Fukuoka who know a lot about earthquake resistant traditional Japanese buildings. Ayumi wrote an excellent Medium blog about it and another about how Japanese students are educated and trained to survive an earthquake. They have been renovating and living in an old Japanese house KOMINKA after many years living in Europe.
Budget: They bought the house for 30 million yen and spent 5 million yen on earthquake resistance seismic retrofit remodeling as well as another 10 million on other renovations. They got 1 million yen back from the government for making use of an AKIYA abandoned house, but couldn't qualify for the subsidy for making the house more earthquake-proof.
Earthquake safety of old houses is such a big issue this year due to the horrible Noto Peninsula earthquake which destroyed so many traditional homes. But Ayumi says it's not the design of the traditional buildings which is the problem- it's more termite or rot damage and lack of upkeep.

The 3rd annual Minka Summit will be held once again in Hanase Village (about an hour from Kyoto station). In this preview talk about this year's event, Lauren, Andrea and Stuart join to give insights on the special speakers, minka mall, minka tours, locals and the village, and how the event has changed over the last 3 years.
Key Takeaways
They are expecting the biggest turn-out yet this year at around 500 people and have chosen to go back to Hanase village's location as there are more areas to mingle and interact with one another. Great sponsors and local vendors are involved as well as a local vegetarian and organic food restaurant to cater to the vegetarians who come. So impressed by how well this small team of organizers creates such a fabulous event each year!
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Originally from the US, Dani & Evan Benton have bought properties and land to live and run a guest house and to do natural farming in rural Japan.
The Bentons have been so generous in sharing their knowledge on YouTube by documenting and sharing a variety of useful information about how to get a Japan business and startup visa, buy a house, renovate old houses, get rid of junk, reuse things, and repair and reuse as well as honor the memory of the original owners as much as possible.
Dani and Evan are doing a great service to their local community as well as all of their interested fans around the world with their informative posts and videos. Apparently they decided to settle in the area of OMISHIMA because it is a beautiful area that has a lot of AKIYA abandoned properties.
They now run a guesthouse on AirBnb and aim is to run a farm stand to sell their fresh farm produce and honey.
There will be a lot of great insights in this talk for anyone interested in Japan, Japanese culture, life in rural Japan, starting a business, natural farming, and renovating old houses in Japan.

Heather Fukase is originally from Australia, and has lived in a beautiful rural area of Nagano above Matsumoto-city for the last 17 years where she has raised a family. For more than 10 years Heather (and her husband) has been growing vegetables and fruit organically and as naturally as possible.
Watch the video of this talk: https://youtu.be/6UgDbxlZD2I?si=9ftLDbCWFYgqdCJz
In this talk, Heather shows me around her farmland and talks through some of the challenges and successes of being a farmer in Japan. I have talked with Heather twice on the Seek Sustainable talkshow so it was so special to be there with her in her organic farm fields to catch up.
== Previous talks with Heather on Seek Sustainable Japan ==
** 2020 Talk with Heather: https://www.youtube.com/live/hqmjj9SQaBE?si=GPQu4CGW2Bm2rvUi
** 2022 Talk with Heather: https://www.youtube.com/live/v0-9ACjmo8U?si=cRa6mDAh51Zqd6EE
I was really struck by the community side of issues of letting your weeds grow and using pesticides as well as the historical significance of big changes in farming in her area from Mulberry trees for the silk trade, use of pesticides, and the industrial style of soba (buckwheat) farms. It also surprised me how passionate and excited she is about organic farming STILL despite all the challenges.
It also surprised me that she has a side hustle as a teacher and doesn't know anyone who is able to survive on farming full time as their sole income.
Please follow Heather on Instagram for more updates and if you are in Japan, you will love a delivery of her great veggies and fruit delivered fresh from her farm (I just got potatoes, rhubarb, apples and look forward to rice soon).

Writer James Clark and filmmaker Robbie McKain have joined forces to do a fundraiser for a film about the Michinoku Coastal Train (MCT) in Tohoku - a 1000 km trail that was created to bring more visitors to the area to enjoy the beautiful coastal hike while supporting the communities still rebuilding after the 2011 Earthquake-Tsunami-Nuclear Power Plant triple disaster.
It sounds like there are so many wonderful stories of recovery and resilience to inspire us that they are covering in their film, can't wait to see it!

Ed Stratham is a talented entrepreneur and community builder based in Nagano, Japan. In this talk with Ed he gives us an insightful house tour of his 250+ year old property that he has been working on renovating. He also has great advice for anyone interested in renovating old houses in Japan.
Amazingly, despite doing most of the work himself, Ed has spent most of his career as a dive-instructor and bar owner in Southeast Asia, but now doing a great job renovating his old house and being a positive and active member of his community.
This was a great chance to visit Ed in a small village in Snow Country over the mountain from famous Nozawa Onsen where he is not only remodeling his own house, but also helping get other international residents in Japan to move in to other houses - stay tuned for more videos with Ed's neighbors coming up!
We need connectors in rural Japan like Ed who can help find new residents to work on renovations of these AKIYA abandoned buildings which still have good structures worth saving.
In this video we tour the 250+ year old house he has renovated (and is still working on) to create a stylish and cozy home for him, his wife and his giant dog. Stay tuned to the end to see his antique shop of salvaged treasures from the many abandoned house projects he has worked on.
Ed & I first met at the 2022 Minka Summit (in the carpark of course where all the cool kids hang out). From the get-go I was impressed with his infectious laugh and true commitment to building community in rural Japan. I am astounded by the number of Akiya projects he had taken on!
In 2022 after meeting Ed at the Minka Summit, I introduced Ed's community building passion in combination with the philosophy of Alex Kerr & the reason this is a great time for the Minka Summit for a Japan TImes article: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/202...

Housesitting or Petsitting around the world is a great way to save money and live like a local, but it is also a more sustainable, slower style of travel that has greater benefits for local communities and less negative impacts on the environment.
Kelly Hayes-Raitt talks about how house and pet sitting around the world has been an important part of her life for the past 13 years.
This is the AUDIO version - watch the video of the interview with Kelly here: https://www.youtube.com/live/ku9j9XCcEro

Author, volunteer, coach, world traveler and expert house and petsitter Kelly Hayes-Raitt joins the Seek Sustainable Japan talkshow-podcast this month to share some of her book tips for housesitting as well as insights from the amazing research, volunteering projects, and journalistic writing she does while she is housesitting around the world for publications in the USA.
I had the chance to meet Kelly when she came to Hiroshima for the 70th anniversary of the A-bomb attack commemorations. Kelly has traveled through many parts of Japan and she has so many great insights from her world travels including doing volunteering while she travels. As a politician in the early part of her career, Kelly talks about how she is drawn to interviews and stories of refugees from conflict and climate and we talk about some of those stories from Iraq, central America, Japan, Korea, Israel and Palestine, and Syria.

long-time Japan translator and interpreter Joost Kralt is originally from the Netherlands and now manages operations of the FoodCamp events in Fukushima, Japan for the Magonote Travel company.
We will talk about the sustainable strategies of the business such as their latest zero-emissions food truck, entrepreneurship in Fukushima, and the concept of supporting local farmers and promoting rural area travel in Japan.
https://magonotetravel.co.jp/foodcamp/en
From the website: "Magonote Travel is a travel operator rooted in Koriyama, best known for its project known as ‘FoodCamp’. Winner of the Ministry of Environment’s Good Life Award in 2019, FoodCamp is not just about bringing the farm to the table by using local produce, but also bringing the table to the farm. Excellent chefs from around Fukushima are linked to local farmers and producers, to present a unique, one-time, outdoor dining experience, custom-made around high-quality local products right at the place where they are produced. We provide a food truck for the chefs to prepare the meals on-site, as well as door-to-door transportation from anywhere in Koriyama City. Come taste Fukushima produce the way its meant to be tasted!"

Doug's home base is in Vermont, USA, but he has been to Japan over 25 times and has been to all 47 prefectures of Japan to research, build and even teach at various Japanese boatmaking projects. #japan #boatbuilding #woodenboats #craft #japaneseculture
We catch up with Doug here while he is finishing a set of boats in Kagawa, Japan this month- so this is a fantastic chance to catch up with him in the same time zone and talk about his apprenticeships, book, work, passion, and insights for the traditional art of Japanese boatbuilding.
Douglas Brooks Links:
https://linktr.ee/douglasbrooks
From his website: Douglas has many years of experience training with masters of traditional Japanese boatbuilding, building boats himself, running workshops and seminars for students and is the author of the book "Japanese Wooden Boatbuilding". About the book: "This is the story of my apprenticeships with Japanese masters to build five unique and endangered traditional boats. It is part ethnography, part instruction, and part my personal reflections on preserving a craft tradition on the brink of extinction. Over the course of 17 trips to Japan, I have travelled over 30,000 miles to seek out and interview Japan’s elderly master boat builders; I built boats with five of them, all in their seventies and eighties, between 1996 and 2010. For most of them, I was their sole and last apprentice." Order a signed copy of the book from Douglas Brooks website: http://www.douglasbrooksboatbuilding.com/japanese_wooden_boatbuilding.html

Many visitors to Japan are fascinated by the high-quality tools and crafts available - many of which are still made-in-Japan the same way they have been for generations. Yuko Naka's Australian husband is a landscape gardener and was impressed by even the cheapest of Japanese tools at the local shop. This started Yuko's passion for learning more about these tools and running a successful import business from Japanese craftspeople to the Australian market.
See the video of our talk here on the Seek Sustainable Japan talkshow-podcast on YouTube.
Yuko Nakao is the Director of the Shokunin Store- a curated import shop of high-quality, handcrafted traditional tools and artisan goods from Japan.
Yuko and her partner Lindsey- a professional landscaper- fell in love with Japanese gardening tools as they renovated a traditional Minka house in Hiroshima, Japan. Yuko has spent years making connections with craftspeople across Japan since 2017 in order to share their products with the Australian and now even a global audience from their base in Sydney, Australia.
Yuko shares her passion for supporting the craftspeople and keeping these traditional trades alive. We also talk about the positive reaction to their sustainable, high-quality, made-in Japan products.

There were many powering and inspiring insights of local resilience, but also of entrepreneurship and hospitality. See the article this podcast is based on here on InboundAmbassador

"Finding Hope in Fukushima" is an article I wrote on MEDIUM - 2023 is the 12th anniversary of the 3.11.2011 earthquake-tsunami-nuclear power meltdown Tohoku disaster and the first time I had ever visited Fukushima.
This podcast is an overview of the big takeaways of my 3-day consulting trip along the HAMADORI coastline that was most effected by the radiation disaster after the earthquake and tsunami of 2011.
Key points of future tourism appeal:
1) great guides. On this monitor (trial) tour, we had Azby Brown- an expert from the SAFECAST org who has visited the area more than 40 times since 2011. Good guides are key to the success of this area as a destination as only knowledgeable and honest guides will be able to clearly communicate the complex issues and the past, present and future realities for the Fukushima area.
2) preservation of ruins and key sites as memorials
3) engagement with interesting locals who are actively developing new businesses, engaged in activism and who can give a clear and honest perspective of what it's like to stay in Fukushima
4) testing for knowledge, but also for safety and peace of mind of the visitors
Azby Brown is the main guide for a media tour of the Fukushima area called the "Hope Hamadori" Fukushima tour. This is connected to the area's HOPE TOURISM projects and new developments to guide international visitors through the area to talk honestly about the past, present and future.
The aim of the project is to find ways to appeal to tourists who want to learn about Fukushima's past, present and future. #fukushima #travel #japan #sustainabletravel

YouTube is going all-in this year with #shorts to take on the royalty of short video content TikTok - but as a small channel, is it worth jumping in and creating shorts for your channel as well as your regular content?
I have a small, sustainability in Japan focused YouTube channel of 3.2K subscribers which has grown from 20 subs in 2020. Here I talk through my growth strategy to stay on brand and some of the encouraging positive changes I have seen in views and subscribers since I started the daily video challenge of 2023. I talk through my 3 strategies and how it has been going as I look at the data from YouTube.
This is a discussion that started in my head when I wrote this MEDIUM article: Can a Sustainable Brand Grow with SHORTS on YouTube?
I hope it is interesting and helpful to anyone considering diving into content creation, especially to follow the trend of short video content creation of 1 minute or less.
Let me know what you think in my DMs or at me on social media - jjwalsh on Twitter and YouTube / inboundambassador on Facebook and Instagram - I'd love to hear your thoughts and support the content you are creating as well - especially if it has a sustainable focus :)

Naomichi Hiro Terazaki has worked in the hospitality and tourism industry for many years and has great insights from his role as an advisor for SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) businesses REVO international and Euglena co.
SAF could be a huge step forward to reducing the biggest environmental cost of the tourism industry created by aircraft. I'd like to learn more about this industry- what's your take?
His career started with studying international ocean law in London, and he told me after the podcast that he is also working with the government to interview applicants who are seeking asylum and coming as refugees. So many varied fields, but all connected to finding a better balance for people-planet-profits to ensure a brighter common future - that's so important for sustainability.
As you hear in the beginning of the talk, Terazaki-san is also a campaigner for the SAVE JINGU GAIEN campaign asking the Tokyo government to pause the redevelopment project which will destroy old buildings and nearly 1000 beautiful trees - please sign the campaign page below.

Tokyo's Meiji Jingu Gaien redevelopment project needs to be paused to do environmental, social and local community and business assessments, that is what the campaigners like Marian Hara are asking of the Tokyo government. The redevelopment project will destroy the natural, open beauty of the Jingu Gaien area and Marian talks of the surveys they did with over 100 visitors who valued the area and wrote messages of support for the development to stop.
Marian Hara is an environmental activist campaigner against the project who will outline some of the issues and how you can support their campaign to save the trees and community spaces. Marian also talks of her 10+ years working with the Tokyo branch of Amnesty international Japan writing letters and campaigning for Japan to accept more refugees and people seeking asylum as well as raising awareness and campaigning against the death penalty which is often done without transparency and is problematic when there is a history of forced confessions and fake evidence to secure convictions in some death penalty cases. https://www.amnesty.or.jp/

Hiroshima is a great place to visit if you are an animal lover- we have deer on Miyajima island, we have rabbits on Okunoshima island, cats in Takehara and Onomichi towns and now the sweetest family of Donkeys at Donkey Paradise.
Donkey Paradise is about 90-minutes drive from Hiroshima city and only 20-minutes from Fukuyama, Onomichi and Tomonoura. The couple who started the petting-zoo were educators for many years as they ran a cram school (juku) in the town. Once they got a donkey of their own and moved to a house on the hill overlooking the sea they thought others might love it too.
Big thanks to Francois who has joined the Donkey Paradise team and took me on a tour around the farm and to meet the super sweet Donkeys and goats. Francois helps run English tours as well as runs the social media for the business.
I was so happy to see how well all of the animals are being treated and cared for and I think this is a great sustainably focused example of how to revive rural communities - follow your passion, focus on education, run operations with low impact, and find a way to integrate learning with nature as well as support local businesses, artists and craftspeople.

The worldwide market is going crazy for electric cars, but Japan seems to still be in a holding pattern despite having one of the best EV charging network infrastructure in the world (more chargers than gas stations).

Originally from Hanover, Germany Barbara Kuhn is a trained architect who has worked as an educator, in international hotels, as an architect and has now founded a business called Tokyo.Threads where she sells bags, artwork and table decorations creatively recreated from vintage Japanese kimono and obi material.
Here Barbara talks of how her business idea grew out of her love of cycling and travel in Japan which also led her to the 100-year old Machiya where we are talking. She gave some advice to the owner, Yuka-san, about how to reuse some of the antiques in the house as well as how to redesign the old sweets shop into a comfortable and appealing guest house and pop-up event venue.

Jonathan Perugia is a photographer with over 30 years of experience working with both commercial and non-profits and individuals to improve the effectiveness of their photographs to tell a powerful story. I haven't met anyone who has this focus for photography in Japan, so although he is based in the UK, I think there are a lot of interesting parallels we can make between his work around the world and the needs we have here in Japan as well.
I love the story of his love of photography starting with travel in India and a yoga course and I appreciate the led meditation in the middle of this talk, it is great to be reminded how to see things clearly in our day to day lives.

Shiina Tsuyuki is a sustainability-driven entrepreneur who produces great 1-minute short videos in Japanese to help raise awareness of sustainability issues in Japan, what we can do, and highlights some of the solutions. Shiina is also a creator of stunning natural, vegan, and plastic free cosmetics. See the video of our interview here.
In October 2022, Shiina also successfully completed a crowdfunding campaign - raising above the target to 5 million yen to launch a new series of short videos on youtube and reels on Instagram to connect with the Japanese audience about innovation and solutions to our sustainability hurdles. Her aim is to launch a new video each week over a year!
Shiina did her high-school education at the Green School Bali, but when she came back to university in Japan it didn't feel like the best way to use her time and passion. So, she has spent the last 2 years talking at hundreds of schools and 30,000 students about SDG's and sustainable entrepreneurship and solutions in Japan. https://shiina.co/

I am always inspired by Kathleen Burkinshaw - an American author and peace activist who wrote the book, 'The Last Cherry Blossom' as an educational tool for young people in the US who are interested in learning about Hiroshima.
The book is from the perspective of a 12 year old girl, Kathleen's mother, who survived the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. The stories are so relatable of a young girl's family life, school and friendships- so many topics that students can relate to. Kathleen also introduces a lot of things about Japanese culture that students find interesting.
In this talk, Kathleen gives us some of the backstory of how and why she wrote the book, her relationships with her mother and daughter which inspired and informed the book as well as about her speaking engagements and reactions from teachers and young people.

What is zero-waste look like in actuality, does it really mean zero-waste?! This is the audio for an article I wrote onhttps://medium.com/@jjwalsh/zero-waste-branding-scrutiny-a767c8e3821b ( MEDIUM titled "Zero-Waste Branding Scrutiny") in response to an "insight tour" I gave to a visiting journalist who wanted to add Kamikatsu to his book, but was disappointed. This informs me as to how I need to do future tours and orientations of the town to better prepare visitors to take in the progress of this sustainable destination fridges and all. Please get in touch if you are interested in joining one of my online courses, women inspire events held in sustainable destinations, or booking an "insight tour" of a sustainable destination in Japan of your own before you plan on visiting. I am also open to future bookings to go with you on an insight tour of a sustainable destination to help you get a great overview and backstory of the area as well as introduce you to the key entrepreneurs and businesses focused on sustainability in the area. Look forward to hearing from you.

Continuing with the Hawaii vs Japan theme, some of the issues I encountered while at home in the US which highlight more general needs for sustainable development and business worldwide. https://medium.com/@jjwalsh/tilting-at-windmills-in-hawaii-36bd7be345f (The article on MEDIUM can be read here.)
Hello Podcast listeners- apologies for the long absence, working from outside my normal studio at home in Japan has been a bigger challenge than expected, but I am back and rearing to go. Over the next few weeks, I am taking a break from the usual focus on Japan, to add insights from my break in Hawaii which also help us see issues and successes in Japan more clearly. Seeing my island home after many years away gave me new ideas and points of comparison with issues and successes I see in Japan. If you are interested in Hawaii and Japan, these pods are for you! In this pod, I talk about 6 of the sustainability focused initiatives I was excited about in Hawaii - from a family-run watercress farm in the central of a shopping area that has survived development, to the public-access to Hawaii's beautiful natural assets for locals and visitors. This is an expansion of the https://medium.com/@jjwalsh/5-hawaii-people-planet-profit-highlights-in-2022-6efbf2ca1ff6 (article I wrote about it on MEDIUM here.) I plan to continue writing (and podcasting about) these insights over the next few weeks as I unpack a lot of the innovation, policies, entrepreneurship and inspiration I saw and engaged with on this summer from Oahu, Hawaii's main island. I'd love to hear what you think of these ideas, DM or tag me with your thoughts: https://linktr.ee/jjwalsh (Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / LinkedIn / YouTube / Medium / Substack / Patreon / BMAC / KoFi ) https://linktr.ee/jjwalsh (Find out more about JJWalsh on InboundAmbassador / Seek Sustainable Japan websites )
Historian-authors Oleg Benesch and Ran Zwigenberg give us insights from their interesting book about Japanese castles which is now in paperback format: BOOK: Japan's Castles - Citadels of Modernity in War and Peace (3/2020 - Cambridge University Press) Japan's castles have had interesting transitions in how they were rebranded throughout history- especially in post WW2 Japan. The changes were due to shifts in public perspectives of the role of the military and how the government wanted to represent Japan's military past. Changes were also due to domestic and international tourism narratives which change over time. Interesting shifts in how the castles were used as military headquarters, but are presented without representation of their wartime uses, reflecting older, feudal histories instead. The repurposing of military facilities into art museums, libraries, schools and sports arenas is another interesting point. The conflict between private and public land as well as the necessities to retrofit the castles to be more accessible and barrier free are also addressed.

Foraging for food in forests, rivers and oceans is an important aspect of human survival throughout history and in Japan, there is still a use of and admiration of foraged foods as a part of the seasonal appeal of dishes. Watch the Video of this talk here on YouTube Winifred Bird spent years researching and writing stories of people across Japan who are still engaged with SANSAI foraging as a part of their lifestyle or business. In this follow up talk, Winifred shares some insights from some of the interviews she has done since our last talk which has raised new questions as well as her recent collaboration with the translator working on the Japanese version of her book to be released this autumn. In March of 2021 Winifred Bird joined the #SeekSustainableJapan to talk about her new book "Eating Wild Japan- tracking the culture of foraged foods with a guide to plants and recipes". I have referred to this wonderful book in many talks, consulting opportunities and seminars- it is such a wonderful resource of information about the history and culture of foraging for food in Japan in the past and present. In this talk, Winifred Bird will give us an update on how the translation of the book into Japanese has been over the last year as well as other insights and revelations from the book as we continue our conversation from last year.

John Rucynski has published a collection of essays written by international residents of Japan who are deeply engaged and passionate about Japanese culture, lifestyle, sports, traditions, design and art in a book he edited called "A Passion for Japan". https://amzn.to/3ICfG7x (Buy the Book Here.) I was so impressed by the variety of different views of life in Japan from the diverse writers engaged in different aspects of life and culture- it was inspiring to read and I shared many of the sentiments and it sparked new ideas about other topics I had never heard of that I want to find out more about. John Rucynski is an associate professor in the Center for Liberal Arts and Language Education at Okayama University. We will talk about his most recent books, "A Passion for Japan" a collection of 30 long-term residents of Japan who have diverse and varied views of life, work and travel in Japan.

So excited to pass this 400th episode milestone in June of 2022 after starting the series in April of 2020 - what a journey.

I'm passionate about the next 100 over this pivotal year in Japan- thank you all so much for your interest in and support of the talkshow series! As I mentioned here, I think the next 100 shows will be our tipping point as Google and YouTube have said they will be promoting more content promoting sustainability and sustainable strategies.

At Robert Yellin's beautiful gallery in Kyoto, here is the first on-location livestreamed interview with "good people doing great things" across Japan as a new sub-series of the Seek Sustainable Japan talkshow series. The audio is a bit echoey (sorry podcast listeners) but I am working on improving the audio for future on-location talks like this - advice appreciated! https://youtu.be/Pyl9EpHBXks (Watch the video here to see all the stunning pottery and books we are talking about.) Excited to do the first LIVE on-location Seek Sustainable Japan talk with the amazing Robert Yellin as at his lovely pottery and ceramics gallery in Kyoto. Robert Yellin has visited potters and workshops across Japan, has written countless articles about Japanese pottery and ceramics and has great stories and insights about all of the artwork and the artists who made them in every collection. It is not just a job, he lives and breathes a deep love of this Japanese art-form in both its traditional and modern sense. At this visit we will have a chance to see his latest collection of beautiful work on display and hear the stories of the art and the artists at his beautiful pottery and ceramics gallery in Kyoto.

Georgia and Japan have had a long international relationship for business with over 600 Japanese businesses in the state employing 35,000 people. This has led to many years of intercultural relations between Japan and the US in Georgia for shared culture events. Recently, a traditional Japanese temple bell has established between a small rural town in Hiroshima called Konu which has created connections as well as its own Jimmy Carter Center like the one in Georgia. The town even grows JImmy Carter's brand of peanuts and has a street and train station named after the president who has visited the small town twice. In this talk, Vice President Jessica Kennett Cork of Community Engagement and Corporate Communications of YKK co. USA, joins us to talk about the amazing Peace Bell that traveled from Shoganji temple in Miyoshi (previously Konu), Hiroshima all the way to Georgia with President Jimmy Carter and back again. The story is incredible and now they are raising funds to build a traditional Japanese temple bell tower to put into action the beautiful Japanese bell Jimmy Carter was presented with in 1989 when the center was first opened. Jimmy Carter has been very active in his lifetime creating ties of peace around the world and this bell tower will be built in his honor at a special commemoration to coincide with his 98th birthday in October of 2022.

Rebecca Otowa is an inspiration to anyone who is deeply invested in a life and career in Japan. Here we talk about 3 of her published books and she reads some parts to us as well. https://youtu.be/EsjVn8WhKHo (Talk VIDEO here.) Writers and artists like Rebecca are so important to give us important insights into the integrated experience as both an outsider and insider in Japanese culture, traditions, rural life, parenting, and so many complicated issues surrounding a long life in Japan. Rebecca Otowa grew up in California and learned Japanese living in Australia, then came to Japan in 1978 and never left. Rebecca got an MA in Japanese Buddhism, married into a traditional family and raised two sons. She has had a long and interesting career, but her great loves are writing and drawing which she does so beautifully- uncovering deep layers of hidden Japanese cultural gems for her audiences. Join us as Rebecca shares insights and stories from three of her most beloved books, The Mad Kyoto Shoe Swapper & Other Stories, My Awesome Japan Adventure, and At Home in Japan - a foreign woman's journey of discovery. https://www.rebeccaotowa.com/bio (https://www.rebeccaotowa.com/bio) About JJWalsh - InboundAmbassador JJWalsh is a sustainability-focused advisor, trainer and consultant based in Hiroshima, Japan.

Ted Taylor is a writer and travel guide who loves long wanders around Japan and sharing insights about culture, tradition, history and folklore he learns along the way with his audience and visitors. Here we talk about his philosophy to enjoy life and travel in Japan as well as some of his writing projects and explorations. Edward J. Taylor is a musician, writer and explorer who has lived and traveled wide & far across Japan. Born in New York city and raised on the American east coast, Ted moved to a small town in rural New Mexico at age 14. After degrees in Creative Writing, Music, and Film at the University of Arizona, he began a Masters in Anthropology at UC Santa Barbara. But his attention was pulled East. Interests in Zen Buddhism and Aikido, an original martial art of Japan, led Ted to first visit Japan in 1994. He settled into the countryside of Tottori, a remote prefecture on Japan’s Sea of Japan coast and for the following eleven years Ted set about his studies. His interest in martial arts expanded to Iaido, swordsmanship, and Kyudo, archery, while his Zen practice was supplemented with training in Shugendo, an esoteric religion associated with itinerant monks. Originally a drummer and percussionist, Ted also pursued his musical interests by taking up Taiko drumming and the Shakuhachi flute. As an occasional itinerant musician Ted gave drumming and percussion performances throughout Japan. During his time in Tottori, Ted also learnt how to grow rice using traditional rice farming methods and this led him to become curious about how the physical environment and its conditions shape local culture. This interest has subsequently blossomed into a passion and to this day Ted likes nothing better than escaping into rural Japan and its traditional society. An invitation to train in the 16th Century martial art of Takeuchi-ryu Bujutsu was the impetus for Ted moving to Kyoto in 2005. Despite living in the city, Ted spent much of his time out of it walking many of Japan's old roads, including the entire Nakasendo post road as well as completing the pilgrimages of the Shikoku 88 temple trail and the Kumano Kodo. Edward is the co-editor of the Deep Kyoto Walks anthology, and is currently at work on a series of books about walking Japan's ancient highways. http://notesfromthenog.blogspot.jp/ (http://notesfromthenog.blogspot.jp/) About JJWalsh - InboundAmbassador JJWalsh is a sustainability-focused advisor, trainer and consultant based in Hiroshima, Japan.

Entrepreneur Lee Xian Jie is a Singaporean who studied in Tokyo, worked in tourism as a guide in Kyoto, and is now a community builder and entrepreneur in Ryujinmura village, Wakayama - deep in the Kumano mountains, where is he preparing to open his own cafe and guest house. In this talk, Lee tells us about the old houses he has been renovating for himself and his friends, cutting grass, harvesting Japanese tea on ancient trees around the area, composting, creating bee hives, and creating a cafe which will feature local foods as well as his own signature tea blends. All of Lee's projects provide a service to the local community as it is bringing life back to a dying rural village. I met Lee at the 2022 Minka Summit where he shared insights about his life and efforts to revive the dwindling community in Ryujinmura where he founded the RYUNOHARA project - 'a traditional Japanese farmhouse restoration and future farm & farm-to-table cafe.'

Richard Pearce is the Founding Director at Bushido Adventure Travel Ltd and Owner at Richiyado Guesthouse who has a passion for sustainable travel and tourism in the Tottori area of Japan. https://youtu.be/8x4yAbk5vNo (Watch the video of our talk) Richard also started a new organization in recent years to protect the Giant Salamanders of Mt.Daisen and in the process realized the need is beyond the animals themselves, as it is necessary to take on sustainability focused projects that enhance the level of environmental protection for the area. The Sustainable Daisen NPO which Richard co-founded does lots of great work in the Tottori area to reduce the use of plastics, increase environmental and social impact awareness, and plant trees to regenerate the forest, streams and natural areas around Daisen.

Inspired by a recent speaking event at Japan's first MINKA summit where enthusiasts, educators, authors, artisans and insiders in the old house (MINKA) industry gathered. Talking with so many interesting people and visiting a few wonderful old Minka houses for sale or which have been remodeled was so inspiring and it dawned on me that THIS is the ideal house of the future, not the high-tech visions of the mainstream. We need to find more innovation in reusing and building on what we already have instead of trying to make all new mistakes with unproven technologies of the future as our big hope for sustainability and survival of our species. https://medium.com/@jjwalsh/our-ideal-future-is-actually-old-1d68400e0a45 (Read the article here on MEDIUM:)

Christopher Schoenwald has started hosting an interesting podcast exploring deeper meaning of life through discussions with interesting people doing interesting projects and careers. He calls his podcast-talkshow "Life as a.." . https://linktr.ee/life_as_a_podcast (https://linktr.ee/life_as_a_podcast) Christopher says of the podcast on his LinkedIn Profile: "much of my passion has always been centered on exploring this bigger notion of live and living. My fascination of doing so through the exploration of various careers is partly guided by my own belief that aside from the sheer number of hours we devote to our craft, our work shapes us. It moulds our ideas, visions and ultimately the world around us.

Yuki Nivez is a stand-up comic in Tokyo who tells us about "Not Just a Diversity Hire" the all-woman standup comedy event she set up on 26th of March to celebrate women in Japan who are funny & female while raising money for UN Women projects that empower women around the world. Yuki explains how doing stand-up comedy has helped her overcome hurdles and become more confident, even doing this interview with me was a new challenge she says she wouldn't have been able to do 2 years ago, but after her experiences doing stand-up she now can. She has also challenged surfing and sky-diving. When I asked her what she wants to do in the future, she says she wants to get into film making as well- love this passion to take risks and try new things! Until that happens she will continue teaching Japanese and doing Stand-Up events whenever she can.

This week Joy and Shirley talk about the WEF (World Economic Forum) support of flexibility at the workplace for all helps support all workers and improve diversity-inclusion. Women empowerment in India, sub-cultures and diversity. Competitiveness and rivalry amidst marginalized groups and making a conscious effort to support women and other marginalized people with a positive word or sponsorship to show support. Book: Eat to Win and vegetarian-vegan-plantbased diet success for athletes' health, stamina and performance. Eating more plants is certainly more sustainable to keep a better balance between the needs of people (healthier to eat and healthier to produce) and planet (much less negative carbon impact than meat and fish) in balance with profits (better for the economy as well with a healthy workforce and reliable plant-based food resources). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=0s (00:00) Welcome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=60s (01:00) Flexibility at Work for All https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=150s (02:30) What is WEF World Economic Forum? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=270s (04:30) WICCI Supporting Women in Business https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=480s (08:00) Gender Selection Imbalance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=620s (10:20) Diverse Indian Sub-cultures in Japan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=750s (12:30) Gender Equality in Tech with enjoi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=870s (14:30) Single-Use & Sustainable term confusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=990s (16:30) March 8th International Womens' Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1050s (17:30) 51% Represented in Seek Sustainable Japan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1147s (19:07) Marginalized People Rival https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1260s (21:00) Show support if you appreciate content https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1380s (23:00) Consciously be a mentor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1480s (24:40) Like-Comment-Share-Subscribe-Join-Follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1530s (25:30) Book recommendation: Eat-To-Win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1590s (26:30) Clean Plant-Based Protein https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1680s (28:00) The Gamechangers documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_zw55wKMs&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP&index=6&t=1740s (29:00) Vegetarians spoilt for choice in India LINKS + WICCI Empowering Women in Business - India & Japan:...
Mika Horie is a talented artist who is "interested in making the viewer forget about time and cultural differences" based in rural Yamanaka*, Ishikawa. Mika makes beautiful washi paper using traditional Japanese techniques of boiling, stripping, soaking and pounding Gampi weeds into pulp which creates a beautiful washi paper with interesting texture and color variation. https://www.mikahorie.art/ (https://www.mikahorie.art/) Everything about her process is sustainable, circular and in balance with nature. Mika moved to a rural home near a forest where she can harvest gampi weeds, and situated next to the river outside her home where she can use the water for the process. She then pounds the pulp with old Japanese tools and prints landscapes and parts of nature onto the paper exposed using only sunshine. Mika joined the talkshow last year and has published a book and done some exhibitions she will tell us about in this follow-up and catch up interview. Watch the first interview with sustainable artist Mika Horie in March 2021: https://youtu.be/mf6w78BZJFg (https://youtu.be/mf6w78BZJFg) Mika is in the "Yamanaka (Middle-Mountain) Onsen" Town area of Ishikawa Prefecture https://goo.gl/maps/EpR3qcyQecaiSdmz9 (https://goo.gl/maps/EpR3qcyQecaiSdmz9)

Azby Brown is a popular, knowledgeable guest on Seek Sustainable Japan- it's an honor to have him catch us up on his book Just Enough before its re-release in April this year. https://azbybrown.com At the beginning of the talk, Azby gives us an update from his work as the lead researcher and writer for Safecast org, on the situation in the Ukraine and the situation at the crippled Chernobyl nuclear power station under Russia's attack. Azby then introduces the project in Chiba he will talk about at the #MinkaSummit event in April and then we go over some of my favorite key takeaways of his soon to be published paperback update to the original he wrote 10 years ago, Just Enough. 00:00 Welcome 01:20 Safecast Org Updates Ukraine 04:40 Nuclear Power Plant Risks 08:40 Ukraine Aid Links 10:20 Minka Summit Talk 12:00 Chiba Kuramochi Project 16:00 Kominka style 17:10 Circular Economy Edo 21:00 Regenerative Industry 21:40 Satoyama Regenerates 25:00 Rebounding Edo Society 28:00 Repair and Use Longer 33:00 House as Resource Bank 38:00 Modern Relevance of Edo style 41:00 Kamikatsu Zero-Waste Hotel 41:40 Value Based Consumer 44:40 Japan's Forests & Wood 46:40 Zen Mentality & Philosophy 49:00 Shinto Nature Deities 52:00 Profitable sustainability 56:00 Sustainable Brand 57:00 Stronger Community 58:00 Self-Care Needed This book was considered ten years ahead of its time and still has countless examples of how people in the Edo era in Japan (1603~) came back from environmental crisis using innovation, infrastructure and policy which restored the environment and sustained a population of 30 million people within 200 years.

She has some great off-the-beaten track recommendations, fun HAIKU poems to share, is challenging composting even in the big city, and has done some soul searching research about https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sustainableseafood (#sustainableseafood) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=0s (00:00) Welcome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=45s (00:45) Composting Challenge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=90s (01:30) Reduce Kitchen Waste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=164s (02:44) Podcasting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=286s (04:46) BeHereAsia Backstory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=630s (10:30) Personal Responsibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=720s (12:00) Shizen Denka Renewables https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=880s (14:40) Mingei Folk Craft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=1060s (17:40) Hokkaido Akan-Mashu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=1210s (20:10) Views of Akan National Park https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=1340s (22:20) Noto Peninsula Cycling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=1440s (24:00) Ama Abalone Women Divers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=1670s (27:50) Sustainable Seafood Sushi Loss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=1945s (32:25) Outlaw Ocean Project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=2100s (35:00) Carbonauts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=2280s (38:00) Noto Peninsula Pottery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=2460s (41:00) Tokyo Backstreet Tours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=3040s (50:40) People Powered Motion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=3140s (52:20) Shikoku Pilgrimage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=3360s (56:00) Sake, Water & Local Support https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsoTfCBsew&list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB&index=1&t=3560s (59:20) Golden vs Silver Pavillion Kyoto Elizabeth's Website BeHereAsia...
Have you ever thought about moving out to the countryside, buying an old house to fix up and living the simple life? https://medium.com/@jjwalsh/push-pull-of-city-vs-rural-japan-4c4f1157a00b (Read the full article with pictures on MEDIUM here.) This transition has become the passion of people across Japan during the pandemic and the reasons to move out to the inaka (rural area), or not, surprised me in a recent Twitter poll I did that had over 610 votes and many fantastic comments. Does where and how you grow up inform where you want to live as an adult, or is it more practical, based on where you feel you can enjoy the best quality of life?I‘ve been considering these questions for the last 2 years as the https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcyYXjRuE20FnRrydax7RWlFLxibc6N-X (#Akiya #Minka #Kominka abandoned houses in Japan topic) has been the most popular in my Seek Sustainable Japan talkshow-podcast series. The pandemic has shifted priorities for a lot of people and this included a reassessment of how quality of life and work is defined. There has been a greater interest in sustainable innovation, traditional designs, and bringing old houses into modern relevance through renovations. Teleworking, and the newly discovered ability to commute to city jobs from rural locations has opened up a path to a rural transition many people thought wasn’t possible before. I hope this trend helps to save some areas in dire need of a population boost. As I prepared to join an upcoming seminar this March, sponsored by Hiroshima prefecture, I was one of 3 panelists. I live on the outskirts of Hiroshima city, but the two other speakers live on remote islands. I was impressed by their desire to really live away from it all. Island dwellers Tom Coulton and Jason Lawrence have both found great communities and work which counterbalanced the inconveniences of living almost two-hour’s commute from a city. While I admired and often envied their situations, it helped me consider what I value in my small city life and my own motivations for avoiding living in the center of a big city. Tom & Jason both transitioned to rural island life from major metropolis– Tom grew up in London, then lived in Tokyo and Jason had been living and working in Singapore. Both of them seem to be thriving in their new communities– finding more good than bad for not only themselves, but for their families. For me, even considering a country holiday home, I struggle with the inconvenience of being so far out of town, but Jason says of his lack of access to city life is actually something he likes about living on OsakiKamijima. Tom Miyagawa Coulton is a highly skilled entrepreneur who runs a cafe he set up to sell British teas, sweets and meals, but also has various income streams from collaborative work as a translator, photographer and content creator. Tom and his wife settled in the https://goo.gl/maps/U17nNmvCkz2e3Lgt9 (historical area of Mitarai) by utilizing the support of a government-sponsored system to encourage city-dwellers to move out to rural areas of Japan. They were first set up in sponsored housing, but have since bought and remodeled an old house into a stunning home with exposed beams and plastered walls. http://www.islandpictures.co.jp/ (Island Pictures LLC) Tom will give us more insights into his life and work when he joins as a guest on the #SeekSustainableJapan talkshow on the 11th of March. Jason Lawrence settled on the https://goo.gl/maps/AtheQp2dgDfStFqR8 (island of OsakiKamijima), a remote island in Hiroshima that can only be accessed by ferry. He has a teaching job a few days a week and seems to have a great work-life-family balance by maintaining a low-cost of living. As an avid runner, he enjoys exploring the area and feels they have enough conveniences there to sustain them for everything they need. Jason says he likes only being able to access his home by ferry, the remote aspect has appeal for...

What is sustainable tourism and travel? Whose responsibility is it? What are the SDG and sustainable tourism basics? Do customers care about sustainability when traveling? These are all great questions which I address and highlight examples of success in Japan worth using as models for other areas and businesses hoping to appeal to the sustainable travel seeking customers in our post-Covid travel future.

There are so many positive benefits from AI technology - artificial intelligence can be found helping many aspects of our lives and monitoring our world for efficiency, justice and features of sustainability. But we would be naiive to assume it only operates for the common good.

Alex Kerr is one of Japan's most famous authors, advocates and yes also a critic when he sees problems developing in the country he loves. Alex has long shown his passion for renovating and preserving old Japanese houses in a way that is appealing to both domestic and foreign guests. https://youtu.be/2DMobzO4IPc (Watch the video here on YouTube )/ https://www.inboundambassador.com/alex-kerr-beautiful-sustainability-of-mitate-reuse-of-traditional-japanese-minka-houses/ (Read more on InboundAmbassador ) Alex is an expert advocate of the preservation of traditional Japanese buildings and materials for almost 50 years and he talks here of how his philosophy connects to the concept of MITATE. Alex tells us the backstory of finding the house Chiiori, on a steep hill in the misty Iya Valley in the center of Shikoku, that took an hour to climb up to– feeling it was his destiny to take care of it. We talk about traditional Japanese designs: wooden floors and sliding doors which are worth restoring while "pulling the house into the modern age" with insulation, electricity, western toilets and beds to make it comfortable for modern guests. ~~~ Listen to the SeekingSustainability LIVE Talkshow on Podcast [AUDIO] http://www.inboundambassador.com/ssl-podcasts/ (http://www.inboundambassador.com/ssl-podcasts/) ALL Talks in Seek Sustainable Japan (April 2020~) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcyYXjRuE20GsvS0rEOgSiQVAyKbEFSRP) JJWalsh Official InboundAmbassador Website: https://www.inboundambassador.com/ (https://www.inboundambassador.com/)

How easy is it to drive an electric car (EV) in Japan? Our 3 way discussion might give you some good insights if you are considering the change from a gas car to an all-electric model car in Japan. We discuss some of the EVs that are now on the market in Japan and give insights into the electric cars we chose and how we enjoy driving them, we also tackle common EV questions such as charging and pricing. About the Guests: Kevin Meyerson is an EV enthusiast who chose the Jaguar IPace SUV type to suit his passion for snowsports and lifestyle. Kevin lives in a PassivHaus and has a home charger as well as knowledge of the public EV charging system in the Karuizawa area and beyond. Kevin talks here about his Passiv Haus in Karuizawa Japan: https://youtu.be/KTBVvtaDNO0 (https://youtu.be/KTBVvtaDNO0) Kevin talks about being an EV Ambassador: https://youtu.be/XFLXv0Occv0 (https://youtu.be/XFLXv0Occv0) Scott of TeslaQuest Japan is Osaka based and only uses public chargers for his Tesla Model3.

Would you challenge yourself to work for half a year or more in a Buddhist temple? That's what filmmaker and https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC71BceCGkgnQQLDqj9jdACA ( @Where Next Japan ) founder Felicity Tillack decided to do in 2016. Her aims were to improve her Japanese and learn more about Japanese culture in one of Japan's most famous spiritual destinations, Koyasan. Watch the interview here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/k73aXh5PZs8 (https://youtu.be/k73aXh5PZs8) Here Felicity shares insights from a 6-mos work term in Japan's most famous Koyasan where she worked in one of the local catering businesses making the famous Shojin-Ryori Buddhist vegan meals for visitors. Apparently that doesn't mean living there as a vegetarian is any easier than other parts of Japan. This is a follow up conversation with Felicity Tillack who first appeared in Seek Sustainable Japan talkshow-podcast to talk about her Japanese Indie film: Impossible to Imagine and her short documentaries about people in Kyoto.

Dorothee Eshin Takatsu has been ordained in the Rinzai Tradition and now guides people through meditation at the Horakuan Zen Retreat Center. Horakuan means "Fulness and Fun" in Kanji and she hopes visitors feel relaxed and refreshed when they visit her center in the beautiful mountains of Nagano. https://youtu.be/uL2SCm3iy7M (Watch the talk here on YouTube) In this talk Dorothee talks of her training, setting up the first zen meditation center in a remodeled old building after she studied Buddhism in GIFU for 5 years. She wants to create meditation programs at Horakuan that refresh and allow people to become more aware of themselves and their surroundings, "My main goal now is introducing people to Zen teachings and how to apply them in daily life". I am particularly interested in the sound meditation programs and silent walking meditation in the forest.

What are some of the reasons you might find variations in how Japanese is written and how does that reflect not only individual style, group identification, or maybe some other intent? Watch the video of this talk on YouTube These are questions Wes Robertson has been studying for many years and will give us some insights into the what, why and how of his research. Videos of Talks Referenced: Dr.Wes Robertson explains "Ojisan Gokko Shiyo" - https://youtu.be/MEBzT6gVPl8 (https://youtu.be/MEBzT6gVPl8) All of Wes Robertson's public lectures of 2021: https://wesleycrobertson.wordpress.com/2021/11/30/public-lectures-2021/ (https://wesleycrobertson.wordpress.com/2021/11/30/public-lectures-2021/) Biography Wesley C. Robertson is Lecturer in International Studies at Macquarie University, Australia. His research focuses on variation and language play inherent in writing, with a focus on Japanese. He completed his PhD in Applied Japanese Linguistics at Monash University in 2016.

It's been a tough year for anyone working in the travel industry anywhere in the world, but Inside Japan Tours has been hanging in there and focusing on building value for travel that stays with the local communities as well as of high-value for visitors. They offer a variety of tours and information and now offer virtual tours for those who can't come to Japan just yet. Rob Moran is the Sustainability Global Manager at Inside Japan Tours who is a travel guide and mountain lover who helps visitors to Japan enjoy a more natural, slower pace of travel that supports local people and has less impact on the environment. https://youtu.be/ljCn3qruAqE (Watch the talk with Rob on YouTube here.) https://www.insidejapantours.com/ (https://www.insidejapantours.com/) What are some key ideas for better, more sustainable travel in Japan and how is InsideJapan tours surviving during this travel slow-down & how do they envision future travel?

How do Japanese consumers think of sustainability and is it different in other countries? In this online seminar, I start with an introduction of myself and how my background has shaped my understanding of sustainability and strategy for Japan going forward. 1) Joy's introduction 2) Basic People-Planet-Profit balance interconnections 3) Challenge to find common keywords in pictures shown (and described) 4) Examples of businesses in Japan which are good at showing how they are taking on actions of SDG goals and sustainability Usually, this SDG seminar is held as a part of a monthly in-person event I organize in Hiroshima. Unfortunately, we are in a state of emergency in Hiroshima as we have the highest number of Covid cases yet, so the usual monthly Seeking Sustainability Events are run online as SDG-Sustainability seminars like this aimed at businesspeople and entrepreneurs in Japan.

From an experience in Tahiti with PEACE BOAT to remodeling an old (giant) house to welcome guests, working with locals to promote tourism through sustainable seminars and natural farming and the local traditional entertainment KAGURA. Nao-san has found a more meaningful life by moving out to rural Hiroshima in Aki-Takata. https://youtu.be/Hvd2Szo8a4A (Watch the video of the talk here on YouTube.) Nao tells us about her visits to Tahiti and research doing interviews with people there who were affected by the nuclear tests done there by France and how she wants to share their stories as well as those of the Hibakusha from Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki through her peace activism and studies. She is grateful for her experiences on Peace Boat to engage with others around the world on peace issues as well as inform how she wants to live a more simple, sustainable life in rural Japan. Aki-Takata is famous for Kagura so we introduce it here shortly and talk about how Nao is working with others in the area to create more tourism and travel destination appeal to international and domestic visitors. https://youtu.be/M-mLSjrK4oo (Watch a video of Kagura Koshien - High-school aged Kagura performers in Nao's Hometown of Aki-Takata at the Kagura village.)

Toyota Motors has been slow on the update to adopt Electric Vehicles for many years, but at the end of 2021 had an about-face announcement that the company would launch 30 new types of all-electric vehicles (EV's) by Japan's 2030 target when the country will ban new car sales of any non-hybrid or zero-emission vehicles. Toyota is also launched a huge city of the future called WOVEN CITY at the base of Mt.Fuji. This is an audio read of my latest MEDIUM article introducing and giving some insights on these exciting new projects. https://medium.com/@jjwalsh/toyota-sustainable-cars-city-aim-a2ba1dced1c3 (Read the article here.)

How can you find a bargain Akiya (abandoned house) in Japan and turn it into a stunning home? Jaya Thursfield has great insights about how to do it! He is a popular YouTuber @Tokyo Llama who shares video insights about his abandoned AKIYA DIY projects, travels and interviews with an international audience. https://youtu.be/2OCcnOWJJmk (Watch the video here) In this episode, Jaya shares insights and tips from his experience with a traditional Japanese house remodel. He is the first guest in the remodel topic who bought his AKIYA (abandoned house) at auction. I am so impressed by the amount of work he has done and the beautiful design of the house and garden- it is so hard to have that type of vision for how you want a project to go when you first buy something.
What did you find interesting, inspiring and surprising about Jaya's remodel? I'd love to hear what you think- please add your comments and questions below!

Philip Sugai, a Professor of Marketing at Doshisha Business School in Kyoto, Japan has published books and multiple case studies on global business and marketing. Philip here first talks about the history of a business role in society is conceived from Milton Friedman's article in 1970 to the Japanese Omi merchant business philosophy of "Sampo-Yoshi" to Eiichi Shibusawa's 1975 argument for businesses in Japan to first consider society and the environment impacts, before profits. Then Philip talks about some of the ideas from his book "Building Value Through Marketing" which integrates ethical ideas of sustainability in practice with building a stronger brand that has value for workers, customers, and shareholders, but also greater society and the planet. He then talks about the 80 Goals for 7 Stakeholders Capitalism whitepaper and assessment tool he and his students have created. The white paper, "Valuing Value", book and Value Research Center at Doshisha University has all recently launched in 2021.

AUDIO version of my latest article on MEDIUM I remember when I first flew with our kids on an airplane and watched the safety announcements with new parent eyes– I was completely shocked by the advice that I should put my own mask on first, before the kids, if there was a loss of oxygen in the cabin. This standard airplane protocol rocked by mama bear sensibility to protect my cubs at all costs, but I soon realized it made sense– a dead parent would be useless to help her kids or others in a crisis. https://medium.com/@jjwalsh/put-on-your-own-mask-before-helping-others-my-reaction-to-japans-pm-kishida-cop26-speech-de42cc1eef64 (Read the full article on MEDIUM here) Watching Japan's newly appointed PM Fumio Kishida at the COP26 podium talking of Japan's climate aims to support developing countries in Asia transition to a carbon neutral future made me wonder- shouldn't he put his own mask on first? Investment in developing economies at the frontlines of climate change, as a part of the UN international efforts, is great to see. But Japan also needs to focus on the many shortfalls of sustainability here– we need strong, domestic strategies to reach our goals first to be a good leader, right? In the address during the second day of the leaders' session, the new Japanese leader reaffirmed Tokyo's goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46 percent by fiscal 2030 compared with fiscal 2013 levels. Japan will "continue strenuous efforts in its challenge to meet the lofty goal of cutting its emissions by 50 percent," said Kishida, a former foreign minister. Having come up with the more ambitious emissions cut target in the run-up to COP26, environmental experts have said Japan's standing on climate issues, which has often been poorly rated, has greatly improved. But critics have been disturbed by what they view as Japan's insufficient efforts to phase out coal domestically. * JOIN the JJWalsh Supporters + buy me a coffee - your support keeps me going, thanks! ** https://www.patreon.com/jjwalsh (Patreon - Ad-Free Videos and Content for Supporters ) ~BuyMeACoffee~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbldMazlyZjZlN0M3OFh6cDJKeVBvZXZVLVk0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuZWRoUFFQdVJUdU9TZDZ6TUNEbHU3azJNak0yNTlfbWFURlExTk9zRENKOFpza3d2SDBJT21nSzliSlFYYXNQU0dRZVNlT2IwaHhSNGotSEVsbmFOb0pZb1NTbm02YkdKQkVfV1BqaUY1NDhvRk5HZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buymeacoffee.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jjwalsh) ~HAPPS~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmoydEVVSWhIWWt2OWwwT29IazVlRmVPVEdHUXxBQ3Jtc0tudi0yRDJtVTNhZkdDWTZIdFFHUnVGRlI1VUJnVVhIb0ljVlBmMi15aWRRTjdxRkNxRzZFcm9nc3o1dUV4RHk0V3g0YlVfTkp3UFQwSmZ6V29mdXluT1FURVpHVFplUnE0WGNxb1ZROEdJSkY2eEUzTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fhapps.tv%2Finvite%2F%40JJWalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://happs.tv/invite/@JJWalsh) ~Ko-FI https://ko-fi.com/jjwalsh (https://ko-fi.com/jjwalsh) JOIN the support team on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbjRdeieOLGes008y_I9y5Q/join (YouTube Memberships) https://medium.com/@jjwalsh (Follow JJ on MEDIUM)

Associate Professor Chelsea Szendi Schieder PhD talks here about the 2021 revival of discussion about the 'comfort women' issue as a article was published arguing that women willingly worked in 'comfort stations' during WW2. Although it was written in a minor journal, it had been passed through peer-review, so Professor Schieder and a group of academics wrote a 35 page letter asking for the article to be retracted because it lacked academic integrity. https://youtu.be/GeeAu_ii-yE (Watch the interview here.)

One of Hiroshima's most famous harbor towns ONOMICHI is now famous for the jumping off point of the Shimanami-Kaido Cycle Route, but long famous for movies, temple walks, and classic Japan town atmosphere. Here we talk about our favorite old shopping street, sightseeing activities, vegan foods & a little about restoring an old house in the town. This week for travel tuesday, I have the pleasure of a Onomichi insider from down-under, Tina McCarthy of WheelWomen. Tina has not only visited the town many times, but fell in love with it so much she bought a home there. We will do a follow-up talk just about her house search, buying it, remodeling it and plans for the future. https://www.wheelwomenaustralia.com/ (https://www.wheelwomenaustralia.com/) https://my.captivate.fm/Tina%20featured%20by%20specialized:%20https://youtu.be/s5hMEwElYfc (Tina featured by specialized: https://youtu.be/s5hMEwElYfc)

Most visitors to Rabbit Island go to see the bunnies unaware of the island's dark past. But once there, travelers have a chance to also learn about the poison gas making history of the island- there is a museum and the storage facilities ruins have good information boards around the island. Many people wonder why are the rabbits there and who takes care of them. It seems the fluffy creatures were put there to attract tourists to the island, but luckily that has not wiped out the dark history you can also learn if you can see beyond the fluff. The multiple travel destination narratives on Rabbit island are not necessarily a bad thing- come for the cute bunnies and take in some of the dark history of the island as well. What do you think?

Ending with an argument for more transparency so we have a better understanding of where we are now and how to get to where we need to be in the future. * JOIN the JJWalsh Supporters + buy me a coffee - your support keeps me going, thanks! ** ~BuyMeACoffee~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbldMazlyZjZlN0M3OFh6cDJKeVBvZXZVLVk0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuZWRoUFFQdVJUdU9TZDZ6TUNEbHU3azJNak0yNTlfbWFURlExTk9zRENKOFpza3d2SDBJT21nSzliSlFYYXNQU0dRZVNlT2IwaHhSNGotSEVsbmFOb0pZb1NTbm02YkdKQkVfV1BqaUY1NDhvRk5HZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buymeacoffee.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jjwalsh) ~HAPPS~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmoydEVVSWhIWWt2OWwwT29IazVlRmVPVEdHUXxBQ3Jtc0tudi0yRDJtVTNhZkdDWTZIdFFHUnVGRlI1VUJnVVhIb0ljVlBmMi15aWRRTjdxRkNxRzZFcm9nc3o1dUV4RHk0V3g0YlVfTkp3UFQwSmZ6V29mdXluT1FURVpHVFplUnE0WGNxb1ZROEdJSkY2eEUzTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fhapps.tv%2Finvite%2F%40JJWalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://happs.tv/invite/@JJWalsh) ~Ko-FI https://ko-fi.com/jjwalsh (https://ko-fi.com/jjwalsh) JOIN the support team on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbjRdeieOLGes008y_I9y5Q/join (YouTube Memberships) https://medium.com/@jjwalsh (Follow JJ on MEDIUM )

FEW (For Empowering Women) Group in Japan is now celebrating its 40th year! Here I talk with the amazing women on the board team about some of the history (herstory) of the group, projects and events, speakers, peer-support, transitions online during COVID19 and the great work the organization has been doing and is planning to do in the future as they mark its 40th year. https://youtu.be/T88Ks8SggTQ (Watch the Talk on YouTube) Find out more about FEW: http://fewjapan.com/ (http://fewjapan.com/) Sign up to join the special 40th Anniversary Virtual Lunch on October 21st 12noon: https://fewjapan.com/few-japans-october-21st-virtual-lunch-few-40th-herstory-event/ (https://fewjapan.com/few-japans-october-21st-virtual-lunch-few-40th-herstory-event/)
In the beginning I ask a silly question about whether FEW is still needed and expected a quick OF COURSE answer, but President Jackie Steele went into a lot of detail about the rationale (thank you Jackie). There is so much need for women support networks in Japan and around the world - especially Japan- as there is still a lot of discrimination and lack of empowerment and equality happening in traditional work environments here. We talk about the positive influence of peer support, virtual lunches, diverse insights from speakers at various stages and styles of career in Japan, the benefits of mentoring programs and the fun of spending time with other women in Japan finding connections through networking events and activities. Tia Haygood talked of the fundraising activities and charity support events the group has been doing as well as finding corporate sponsorship that matches the FEW vision. Kyoko Nagano talks of her events, virtual lunch organization and hopes that more Japanese women will also feel encouraged to join the group in future. Terri Macmillan talks about the events and activities she has appreciated over the years at FEW as well as the positive influence of international businesses in Japan bringing a higher standard of gender equality and opportunities for women in their careers. 40th Year HERstory Event Preview Insights + Interviews with For Empowering Women (FEW) Team. 🎥Subscribe for more': https://happs.tv/@JJWalsh #live #FEWjapan #ForEmpoweringWomen #FEW #empoweringwomen #japan #Japan #genderequity #genderequality #nonprofits #socialequity #networking #JapanEvents #JapanGroups #WomenSupportGroupJapan * JOIN the JJWalsh Supporters + buy me a coffee - your support keeps me going, thanks! ** ~BuyMeACoffee~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbldMazlyZjZlN0M3OFh6cDJKeVBvZXZVLVk0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuZWRoUFFQdVJUdU9TZDZ6TUNEbHU3azJNak0yNTlfbWFURlExTk9zRENKOFpza3d2SDBJT21nSzliSlFYYXNQU0dRZVNlT2IwaHhSNGotSEVsbmFOb0pZb1NTbm02YkdKQkVfV1BqaUY1NDhvRk5HZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buymeacoffee.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jjwalsh) ~HAPPS~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmoydEVVSWhIWWt2OWwwT29IazVlRmVPVEdHUXxBQ3Jtc0tudi0yRDJtVTNhZkdDWTZIdFFHUnVGRlI1VUJnVVhIb0ljVlBmMi15aWRRTjdxRkNxRzZFcm9nc3o1dUV4RHk0V3g0YlVfTkp3UFQwSmZ6V29mdXluT1FURVpHVFplUnE0WGNxb1ZROEdJSkY2eEUzTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fhapps.tv%2Finvite%2F%40JJWalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://happs.tv/invite/@JJWalsh) ~Ko-FI https://ko-fi.com/jjwalsh (https://ko-fi.com/jjwalsh) JOIN the support team on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbjRdeieOLGes008y_I9y5Q/join (YouTube Memberships) https://medium.com/@jjwalsh (Follow JJ on MEDIUM)

Art Island Naoshima is featured this week on the Sustainable Travel Destinations Seminar - deep dive into what makes a destination sustainable in Japan: successes and hurdles that can inspire and be used as warnings for travel and tourism destinations around Japan and across the world. Interesting questions and comments from the live audience this time! - Is there really any local benefit for Naoshima islanders from the art appeal of the island? - Do outsiders who come to the island to set up businesses help the local economy? - Is there anywhere to stay that's not too expensive on the island?
Find out more about Benesse co., the main sponsor of the art and accommodation on the island: https://benesse-artsite.jp/en/ (https://benesse-artsite.jp/en/)

Ebony Brown is an educator, a social media marketer, a writer, poet, editor, a single mother, and a crafter who loves Goth fashion and life in Japan. It is wonderfully difficult to put her into any one box or category, and that is one of the things that is so wonderful.

Once used as a toxic waste dumping site, Teshima island has become a popular travel destination thanks to the hard work of local people to fight injustice.

Miyajima island in Hiroshima is a magical place, but also one of the most popular tourism destinations in Japan- only 1500 local residents yet over 4 million visitors each year, it's an important place to discuss how to avoid crowds and create policies that give back value from tourism income to preserving the local culture, traditions and environment and quality of life for locals. https://youtu.be/0ysJTuf8Pts (Watch the video of this talk here.) Discussed some of my favorite places to wander: Mt.Misen hikes and views, Daishoin (SuhGenDo) Buddhist Temple, Itsukushima Floating shrine (and usually the giant Tori gate in front but it is still under scaffolding for a few more years), the 1000 mat pavillion and the 5 story pagoda. Wish List for Miyajima: Transparency for how the tourist-tax benefits local people-planet-profit balance Encourage local oyster farmers to go back to using bamboo, wood and rope (instead of plastic and styrofoam) - Hiroshima plastic pollution from the oyster industry is a huge ocean plastic problem for the Seto-naikai area of Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Okayama but it gets as far as Hawaii's beaches too. Maintain building regulations/restrictions on the island to maintain the cultural/traditional aesthetic for tourism appeal, but as an asset for Japanese heritage Preserve natural beauty of the sacred island, limiting the use of concrete Find ways to stagger crowds on the main shopping street by slowing or limiting entry Serve local momiji-manju cakes without the plastic wrapping at least to those who want to eat-in Offer more local vegetables, local wood, plastic-free options as goods and services

Kamakura is a well-known and well-loved destination to many Japan residents and visitors, here are some tips for how to avoid crowds and seek out more sustainable options might be useful to you on your next trip. It is a very important destination for its heritage, history, traditions and religion- but it is also worth seeking out for its diversity of appeal and hippy, sustainable innovation vibe. https://youtu.be/v7-NkH7xS0g (Watch the video here.) There is so much to explore and I learn new things on each trip. This is a very simple introduction that I hope will point you in the right direction to dive into researching your next wonderful trip to this special place. In the video, I mentioned many visitors misunderstanding of the MANJI (Swastika) symbol at the pond that has been used in Buddhism for over 1500 years, but has been misrepresented during WW2 as a symbol of hate. Here is an interesting article about how T.K Nakagaki, a Buddhist monk from Japan started to share information about the symbol's original meaning of good fortune while in the US: https://www.lionsroar.com/226988-2/ (https://www.lionsroar.com/226988-2/ ) T.K Nakagaki's book available on Stone Bridge Press: https://www.stonebridge.com/catalog-2020/The-Buddhist-Swastika-and-Hitler's-Cross (https://www.stonebridge.com/catalog-2020/The-Buddhist-Swastika-and-Hitler's-Cross) + Kamakura Mind: Yukiyo Matsuzaki Smith + Marian Kinoshita interview 11/2020 https://youtu.be/qbHZIPUOQPw (https://youtu.be/qbHZIPUOQPw) Kamakura Mind Experiences and Concierge website: https://www.kamakuramind.com/ (https://www.kamakuramind.com/) + Kamakura by the sea: Helen Langford 2/2021 https://youtu.be/D7IH7zAPIoQ (https://youtu.be/D7IH7zAPIoQ) Inn by the sea website: https://innbytheseakamakura.com/ (https://innbytheseakamakura.com/) + Ingrid Fernandez of Baby Shaman Herbs interview 7/2020 https://youtu.be/nCm823ZxNvs (https://youtu.be/nCm823ZxNvs) Baby Shaman Herbs online shop: https://babyshaman.handcrafted.jp/ (https://babyshaman.handcrafted.jp/)

Google Map: https://g.page/gardenhouse-kamakura (https://g.page/gardenhouse-kamakura) Magokoro Organic Dining - along the coast road, sit upstairs at the counter for ocean views. Staff friendly and offered to make almost anything on the menu for vegan or vegetarian diners. https://goo.gl/maps/Vt1QgfM3rmUM1x7u7 (https://goo.gl/maps/Vt1QgfM3rmUM1x7u7) Kosaiken gu - not open now, but I'm hoping they will open again for wonderful vegan and vegetarian foods - limited seating and diners eat in their house kitchen it seems, I always appreciate a good plant-based meal here. https://goo.gl/maps/ke2apvGk7rPnUZZz7 (https://goo.gl/maps/ke2apvGk7rPnUZZz7) Tips - Get to the most popular sites like the Daibutsu (BigBuddha) as soon as they open and avoid going to any top site around Japan between peak hours of 9am-2pm. If you are walking around Kamakura and the road you are on is crowded, try a parallel road that will still take you to the shrine or temple you are heading to, less crowds and you can often make wonderful discoveries like the gourmet honey shop I found, antique shops, traditional souvenir and sweets shops, art galleries and museums. I wish Google maps and other technology would suggest using these...
Bonus Audio is reading the latest article on Medium about how we can be thinking about the future of tourism and building it back better than it ever was before, in better balance between people-planet-profits. Travel as an important aspect of economic gains, preservation of local assets and social equity building. Is it a pipe dream? I share stories of travel, frustrations with the status-quo, inspiration for how to extend policies already in place in Japan and how we can also be better travelers in the future. https://medium.com/@joyjwalsh/attracting-the-right-kind-of-tourist-ba0a237f800a (Read the article on Medium) https://medium.com/@joyjwalsh/attracting-the-right-kind-of-tourist-ba0a237f800a (https://medium.com/@joyjwalsh/attracting-the-right-kind-of-tourist-ba0a237f800a)

Chirag Batavia is passionate about Permaculture Design and tells us about some of the key concepts and how they applied to a research project with Jack Bayles Alishan Tengu Cafe and Farm facility in Saitama. Watch the video of this interview here https://youtu.be/EQo2Ut7EcvA (https://youtu.be/EQo2Ut7EcvA) Chirag originally came to Japan as a JET from the UK in 2013 and was based in Kagawa prefecture, he met his wife in the UK and came back to work in Tokyo in IT. Doing an online course in Permaculture Design with Oregon State University has opened his eyes to new potential for finding a balance between people-planet-profits. I look forward to seeing more innovation as Chirag puts these insights to use.

Setoda has a long history as a port town and as I've visited and done consulting trips there over the last 10 years, I saw great potential, but the recent investments in new facilities that build on the traditional aesthetic and heritage of the area are helping to create a lot of destination appeal and positive branding for the area. Episode 3 of this new podcast series exploring insights and inspiration from Travel Destinations in Japan focuses on the traditional salt port of Setoda in Onomichi, Hiroshima, Japan along the Shimanami-Kaido Cycling course. https://youtu.be/CcCMnu_2ols (Watch the Video of the Talk Here)

Kamikatsu is the smallest town in Japan and also the boldest, the local government, active non-profits, local entrepreneurs and the local community have been reducing their waste as far back as 2003. But the innovation and actions of the town planners and small businesses go well beyond just waste reduction. Kamikatsu has become a great destination in Japan to seek out best practice and innovation in travel, work and life that maintains a better balance for people-planet-profits than almost any other destination in Japan. This is the first episode in a new weekly LIVE talkshow series called "Seeking Sustainability in Travel Japan" - the series starts with the smallest town in Japan which has the biggest zero-waste targets: Kamikatsu town, Tokushima prefecture, Shikoku island, Japan. Listen to the Podcast version or find out more about this new Sustainability in Travel in Japan series on my website: http://www.inboundambassador.com/seeking-sustainability-in-travel-talkshow-podcast/
What do we want from our future travel experiences? For me the best trips are a chance to escape the day-to-day routine, explore new places and new ideas which help me find more meaning in life. But the last thing I want to do is exploit local communities or the environment just to have a vacation. Post-Covid is the perfect time to focus on more meaningful, thoughtful, authentic and engaging travel– which is actually the true essence of a great journey. I am passionate about sustainability in travel and after many years studying, researching, traveling and working as a travel consultant, I'm excited to start sharing insights, tips and innovation from some of my trips around Japan's off-the-beaten track gems. Every Tuesday at 9am I will broadcast live, on my multistreaming channels, to share insights and stories from recent travel consulting trips or private journeys I've had the opportunity to take around Japan. You can view the growing https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcyYXjRuE20GjRAJUHWU0XvowY4v2fCaB (Playlist of Videos here.) The "Seeking Sustainable Travel" podcast is available on any of your favorite players or you can http://www.inboundambassador.com/seeking-sustainability-in-travel-talkshow-podcast/ (find them here on InboundAmbassador. ) These talks will unpack some of the great ideas I've discovered here in Japan– eager to share with all of you wonderful listeners around the world who might be dreaming of a more sustainable way to live, work and yes travel. Let's make future travel adventures better for ourselves as well as local people and the planet!

Eric Kawabata is the LOOP/TerraCycle Director for Japan and Asia. At the end of August, some early adopters chosen by lottery in the Tokyo area will be able to start using this disruptive innovation in how we shop– that is NOT actually that disruptive or different from how we normally shop. This reuse revolution is a gamechanger! As a consumer, we really only want to buy the internal product, but we are usually burdened with getting low-quality single-use containers that are not only inferior to protect the product inside, but also very hard to recycle or reuse. It surprised me to learn that is actually the customer who is paying for these inferior single-use plastic packaging as a part of the product sale.

Matthew Boynton hails from the UK, now co-founder of Sakamichi (steep road) Brewery with his cycling buddy. The taproom is in the Tachikawa area of Tokyo, Japan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NiCEhzXILk (Watch the Video of our talk here.) Matthew has a great sense of humor and it was an insightful talk on running a startup during the Covid19 slow-down, the ups and downs and legalese of craft beer in Japan, as well as choosing more sustainable operation options. The reusable kegs, BYO refills of growlers, supporting local economy, eateries and businesses, as well as looking for ways to put spent malt back into nature are all important ways to reduce the impact on the environment, while supporting the local economy. I was also glad to hear that his brewery doesn't use the fish gut filtering process and is plantbased.

PlasticLove is a documentary film on the plastic issues in Japan. This talk highlights how difficult it is to access the actual situation and show the plastic-pollution and overuse problems in Japan. Filmmaker & director Sybilla Patrizia 監督のシビラ・パトリチア and Producer Clementine Nuttall プロデューサーのクレメンタイン・ナット here in this talk highlight topics from the film: Japan's plastic crisis and interviews with passionate entrepreneurs seeking solutions. https://plasticlovefilm.com/ (https://plasticlovefilm.com/ ) This is such an important issue as Japan is in the top 3 in the world of plastic pollution per person but this issue is rarely covered in the media and there is very little awareness among the public.

LaShawn Toyoda is a programmer in Tokyo who created the Find-a-Doc open-source database on June 13th, 2021 to help international residents seeking out information and places to sign up to utilize disused Covid19 vaccinations so they wouldn't go to waste. https://www.findadoc.jp/ LaShawn Toyoda has only just started her career as a programmer transitioning from her first 10 years working in Japan as an English teacher, but in 2020 she felt she had to leave her teaching job that insisted on face-to-face teaching during the Covid19 pandemic. She felt it was too much of a risk to herself, her husband and young child at home. LaShawn was accepted to the 3-month intensive Code Chrysalis bootcamp and threw herself into a whole new career. I spoke with the founder Yan Fan here: https://youtu.be/f_ycCjhaCwM (https://youtu.be/f_ycCjhaCwM) The FindADoc database is an amazing initiative which now has hundreds of thousands of users, covers over 60 clinics across Japan and is available in 17 languages! Please support LaShawn's passion project with a donation to her KoFI account to keep her stocked up with coffees and pizza while she dedicates hours after work and once her toddler goes to sleep to manage and update this database. https://www.findadoc.jp/about Read the transcript of this talk and find out more about FindADoc and LaShawn Toyoda's initiative on InboundAmbassador: http://www.inboundambassador.com/multilingual-vaccination-database-findadoc/ (http://www.inboundambassador.com/multilingual-vaccination-database-findadoc/) JOIN the Seeking Sustainability Live Supporters ~HAPPS~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmoydEVVSWhIWWt2OWwwT29IazVlRmVPVEdHUXxBQ3Jtc0tudi0yRDJtVTNhZkdDWTZIdFFHUnVGRlI1VUJnVVhIb0ljVlBmMi15aWRRTjdxRkNxRzZFcm9nc3o1dUV4RHk0V3g0YlVfTkp3UFQwSmZ6V29mdXluT1FURVpHVFplUnE0WGNxb1ZROEdJSkY2eEUzTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fhapps.tv%2Finvite%2F%40JJWalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://happs.tv/invite/@JJWalsh) ~BuyMeACoffee~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbldMazlyZjZlN0M3OFh6cDJKeVBvZXZVLVk0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuZWRoUFFQdVJUdU9TZDZ6TUNEbHU3azJNak0yNTlfbWFURlExTk9zRENKOFpza3d2SDBJT21nSzliSlFYYXNQU0dRZVNlT2IwaHhSNGotSEVsbmFOb0pZb1NTbm02YkdKQkVfV1BqaUY1NDhvRk5HZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buymeacoffee.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jjwalsh) ~Patreon~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa29WZ2pLTHBqd2x5djJCQUZvS1Z0WjJHTlBpZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttR2k3LVFRd0QtTU5ZSWVsNnJLYzlxT2hzbjc4Vm82bEpOUXlBSnRPNENYdndHWVB6Wkh0MXJCM3hON1d1a29aSkRoQW1kVzZmNncyOXFGMVdvSHRPNkNOWTg3dWZ4cDNUTWtQbGdtTkU1WWFaU2JwYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.patreon.com/jjwalsh) JOIN the support team on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbjRdeieOLGes008y_I9y5Q/join (YouTube Memberships ) Buy JJ a Coffee at KoFi https://ko-fi.com/jjwalsh (https://ko-fi.com/jjwalsh)

Takao Fujiwara and his wife cleanup this beach area in Hiroshima near the Ujina Port 2~3 times each week and go to Hiroshima's famous Miyajima island to clean 2 times each month. They only started a year ago, but are so inspiring and insightful. Unfortunately, we couldn't get him set up on a computer for an interview this time, but here we are walking and talking with him at his usual cleanup spot. They are true CleanUp Heroes in Hiroshima!

Riki Ohkanda is a popular guest in the Seeking Sustainability Live talkshow with her deep insights into Japanese traditional Kimono fashion, tea, and other aspects of old Japan still so appealing in our modern culture. https://youtu.be/noZ2LTYSnh4 (Watch the video of this interview here on YouTube.) Riki is a film director, illustrator and storyteller in Japan. In this episode, we caught up with Riki as she is researching a film location in the Fukushima area of Japan. Originally from Chicago, Riki has developed a deep understanding of Japanese traditional kimono fashion and culture through pursuing tea ceremony, traditional writing, decoration, foods and drinks, and other cultural aspects. Here we talk about June highlights of Ajisai Hydrangea flower motifs, seeking out lush green locations such as Ueno park in Tokyo, and wearing thinner 1-layer Japanese kimono to stay cool. https://twitter.com/PaprikaGirl_JP (Follow PaprikaGirl_JP on Twitter for more updates.)

Dave Enright runs the https://www.evergreen-hakuba.com/ (Evergreen Outdoor Center)https://youtu.be/UaaCyDq5rLk ( )in the beautiful mountains in Hakuba - Nagano, Japan. But even in these pristine mountain rivers where he does his outdoor adventures like rafting, there are the same overwhelming plastic litter problems we find anywhere else in Japan. Dave and his staff regularly do cleanups as a part of running their business, but it seems senseless unless changes can be made to single-use plastics sold at stores there. https://youtu.be/UaaCyDq5rLk (Watch the Video ) JOIN the Seeking Sustainability Live Supporters ~HAPPS~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmoydEVVSWhIWWt2OWwwT29IazVlRmVPVEdHUXxBQ3Jtc0tudi0yRDJtVTNhZkdDWTZIdFFHUnVGRlI1VUJnVVhIb0ljVlBmMi15aWRRTjdxRkNxRzZFcm9nc3o1dUV4RHk0V3g0YlVfTkp3UFQwSmZ6V29mdXluT1FURVpHVFplUnE0WGNxb1ZROEdJSkY2eEUzTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fhapps.tv%2Finvite%2F%40JJWalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://happs.tv/invite/@JJWalsh) ~BuyMeACoffee~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbldMazlyZjZlN0M3OFh6cDJKeVBvZXZVLVk0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuZWRoUFFQdVJUdU9TZDZ6TUNEbHU3azJNak0yNTlfbWFURlExTk9zRENKOFpza3d2SDBJT21nSzliSlFYYXNQU0dRZVNlT2IwaHhSNGotSEVsbmFOb0pZb1NTbm02YkdKQkVfV1BqaUY1NDhvRk5HZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buymeacoffee.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jjwalsh) ~Patreon~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa29WZ2pLTHBqd2x5djJCQUZvS1Z0WjJHTlBpZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttR2k3LVFRd0QtTU5ZSWVsNnJLYzlxT2hzbjc4Vm82bEpOUXlBSnRPNENYdndHWVB6Wkh0MXJCM3hON1d1a29aSkRoQW1kVzZmNncyOXFGMVdvSHRPNkNOWTg3dWZ4cDNUTWtQbGdtTkU1WWFaU2JwYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.patreon.com/jjwalsh) JOIN the support team on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbjRdeieOLGes008y_I9y5Q/join (YouTube Memberships )

I'm JJWalsh based in Hiroshima, Japan and have transitioned to my role as a talkshow/podcast host during Covid19 to highlight the great work that inspiring people from across Japan are doing to create a better quality of life (social equity), or planet (environmental conservation or activism) in balance with profits (steady income to continue). As the focus is on "seeking" sustainability we have a wide focus and a huge variety of topics are covered from entrepreneurship to crafts to cleaning up outer space. I have learned so much from these amazing guests and I hope you will also be inspired to seek out opportunities for sustainability in your own life and work after listening to this podcast. You can find the "Seeking Sustainability Live" podcast wherever you like to listen. https://www.youtube.com/c/JJWalshInboundAmbassador (Watch the video versions) of these talks on my YouTube channel or find out more at http://www.inboundambassador.com (InboundAmbassador.com)

SoundCloud sourced BGM thanks to Hikosaemon In this bonus episode, I recap some key insights from the Miso factory tour that I found particularly interesting and insightful in how the young couple now running the facility is adding features of sustainability and innovation to traditional miso factory traditions they are holding true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8aLZgJRy7I (Watch the video of the talk here.) https://www.kanemitsu-miso.co.jp/english (Kanemitsu Miso Factory Official Website (English Page)) - Please tell them jjwalsh introduced you if you get in touch :)
In this turn-tables interview with me from a member of the Happs team, Pablo, he asks me about using the app, but also about my backstory and how I became interested in promoting sustainability to others. Happs is a relatively new platform that allows livestreamers like me to multistream to different social media platforms at the same time and reach a wider audience. https://happs.tv/invite/@JJWalsh (Follow this link if you would like to create a free account )(and please send me a message so I can follow you back).

Baye McNeil is an author, columnist, teacher, and activist living in Tokyo, Japan. He has had a great influence on the media perception and labels used of international residents. Here we talk about some of Baye's articles and projects since our last talk in 2020. One of the articles on Toyokeizai was about changing labels from the color of a person's skin to the person's occupation or name is the best step forward, seeing and interacting with all individuals as people.

I love the idea of finding the right guides who are flexible and willing to cater to visitors on a case by case basis as well as providing ways for visitors to engage with local businesses and people in a more meaningful way. The amount of plans and stays on offer from Hokkaido to Okinawa is also impressive and a great way to spread travelers around the country more than just staying in the most crowded spots.

We also have a chance to learn about some of the fun home-renovation and restoration projects she is doing with an old Minka traditional farm house she bought in rural Japan. I love the beautiful design and carpentry work her husband has done as well as their work putting down insulation and shoji and fusuma sliding door design- all so inspiring for anyone remodeling old homes.

Winifred Bird is a writer who spent months traveling across Japan to talk with local people who are carrying on traditions of foraging for food in the forests and seas. https://amzn.to/31F3hLl (Buy The Book) | https://www.winifredbird.com/ (Winifred Bird's Official Website) This was such an interesting talk with Winifred and it is a richly detailed book that a wide audience will enjoy. I found the crossover between cultivated and wild foods so interesting as well as the reminder that the ways of our ancestors was less wasteful, more focused on only taking what we need and nurturing the rest to grow when future generations may need it. On the flip side, the concept that choosing not to eat horse chestnuts for example, or bamboo shoots, or choosing to use plastic for single-use cutlery and baskets (and in the fishing industry) instead of bamboo can cause the crops to become wild, or cut to oblivion. A new angle from which to admire how conservationism and commerce are connected and key to our own survival. https://youtu.be/wb74hmJMQq8 (Watch the video of the interview with Winnie here) which includes a show of her photos.

Byron Nagy is a German/Hungarian/American who has lived in Kyushu and then Tokyo, but after 3.11 he and his wife Kaori decided a move to the countryside would give them a more meaningful life and having space to grow their own organic food would provide more food security for their growing family. https://youtu.be/6wfcRhIsSdM (Watch the video of this talk here.) They remodeled a 150 year old farmhouse into a guesthouse called the Yokomura Eco-Lodge to provide a farm-to-table country stay experience for visitors. Once the COVID19 pandemic hit the hospitality industry, they transitioned to commercial farming- selling their fresh eggs and vegetables to shops and a local market of customers who appreciate the high-quality, #organic products they provide #plasticfree and #freerange online.

Caroline Pover is an author and a successful entrepreneur in both Japan and the UK (also very talented at pickling) who has just released a new book "One Month in Tohoku" filled with stories of the connections and collaborations she had with people in both Japan and the UK to support people in need after the Tohoku disaster. The book also follows up with people in the small community of Oshika where she lived and volunteered for a month. https://youtu.be/YFIl00Dai7s (Watch the video of our talk here.) I love her ability to get things done and find out what local need is and find people willing to support and fill the need. We all need each other in this world, but it takes connectors like Caroline to help us see how to connect to and help others. There are so many great stories in the book that will inspire, entertain and give us hope for the future and faith that the small efforts we make can really make a difference. https://www.carolinepover.info/ (https://www.carolinepover.info/)

Luuvu Hoang first moved to Tokyo, Japan from Seattle Washington, USA working as a food photographer, capturing the action of a successful kitchen, or the art of a skilled sushi chef for international publications. https://youtu.be/xIVu8asg9Ic (Watch the video of the talk here.) From food-photographer he became a food entrepreneur as he collaborated with other food entrepreneurs in Tokyo to create a place for high-quality food at a food-truck area in Tokyo's Kanda district. He also helped design a popular Basque restaurant from a run-down eatery- adding bright wood, lights and large windows that spilled warmth onto the street in dark areas to invite customers in. He talks here about the push-back he often gets for changing the status quo of the food industry in Japan, but when there is change from his creative ideas, they are happily surprised to be accepted by Japanese customers. Luuvu Hoang has such talent for food design, I am sure we will see many exciting projects he is a part of in Japan to take dining to the next level.

Talking with Jim Huang about the CRUST startup now in Japan to reduce food waste, collaborate with businesses around Japan to improve their sustainability and create great upcycled products along the way.
Crust was originally launched in Singapore in 2019 and now starting in Japan in 2020. Startup originally started by founder Travin Singh who studied home brewing techniques from YouTube and excited about the idea of using old bread as a part of the process. He traveled to London and 11 breweries in California before making some of his own in Singapore in 2019.
The use of disused bakery bread is able to make up 30-50% of the grains needed for good craft beers. In this talk, Jim Huang, shareholder and CFO at CRUST talks about the features of sustainability in place and entering the Japanese craft beer scene.

Sean has written books on a huge variety of subjects over the years on Japanese culture, history, heritage, politics, social impact, and more using the medium of graphic illustrations called Manga. Using manga is a great medium to tell stories and many readers who might not read traditional books and novels would be more inclined to learn the stories via this more visual medium.
