Literature来去乡下过日子
(japan) Kato Daigo
The personal reclamation record of Japan's "first environmental conservationist"; an "ecological life" guide as famous as "Kyoto Mountain Life"; full-color printing, nearly 200 pictures showing a panoramic view of mountain life. Kato Daigo, who has been working as an NPO and started his own environmental education business "Earth Awareness", finally made up his mind after the birth of his daughter and moved from the noisy and busy Tokyo to live in the mountains of Tsuriu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Everything is made from scratch. He leveled the sloping land that could not be used directly, drew his own drawings, learned from the structure of old houses, and used scrap materials from house demolition to build a wooden house that could make full use of wind and solar energy and provide a comfortable place for a family to live. Ask local farmers for advice, challenge Heya farming methods, carry out ecological farming, and achieve self-sufficiency in rice and vegetables. Make homemade miso, dry persimmons, make prunes, and make herbal tea. Use your own hands to fully enjoy the gifts of nature. While the survival needs are met, the whole family also has a comfortable and comfortable mental state. The children do not watch TV. After studying, they read picture books, draw, participate in labor, and play in the mountains. Even the eldest daughter, who was weak due to premature birth, has become strong. The wife runs the "Moms and Children's Cafe" and forms a mutual aid group with local housewives and children to meet regularly to communicate and exchange feelings. Kato himself lives a half-farmer, half-X life in the countryside. On the one hand, he is engaged in agriculture and is self-sufficient; on the other hand, he works part-time in the city in exchange for the cash necessary for life. This kind of lifestyle gives him in-depth thinking and unique insights into sustainable development, environmental education, and ecological values. With the original intention of sharing his experiences and ideas with more people, Kato created this book "Come and Live in the Countryside", hoping that when people choose how to pursue happiness in life, they will think of the option of "ecological life".
