This is exactly what me and my husband discussed today morning when I cried of being tired to live in a city where no one cares about each other anymore. I told him I want to escape this matrix and go to our village to live. We already quit our 9-5 jobs just to get out if this rat race. Struggling to start earning little to survive and go settle in a village living small.

    I was born in a countryside of Tochigi prefecture in the early 70s. I have a fond memory of playing by a small river near the house I was born in. There were big willow trees and cherry blossom trees on both sides of the river. Fast forward to the 80s after we moved away from the village, I went back. The river had concrete banks and no trees were standing along the river. My heart broke with such a devastating sight. It happened in the 80s at the height of Japanese economy when majority did not care about environmental issues. But I still remember how the tree branches swayed in the wind and how beautiful and peaceful the sound of the river was. I am socked to see people did exactly the same thing to a beautiful country river in your neighborhood. I would think people/local governments are more aware of sustainable approach .

    • @satoyama.rupert
      @satoyama.rupert 13 дней назад

      @AtsushiIwai Thanks for this comment. We are a similar age. This is Rupert ... the politics of cement is quite shocking. In just over 3 years I experienced my river disappear before my eyes, every beautiful tree and boulder removed and broken to tiny pieces. I actually had a nervous breakdown over it and could not understand in our era of climate change that such a 'project' with massive carbon foot print be justifiable or even legal!. All the locals actually approved of the cement and thought I was a strange person to complain!!. They were incapable of thinking about the future generation.
