Less Nuke, Less Abuse

It seems that these earthquakes and aftermath are not enough to change the course of a country.

Japanese government has been trying so hard to restart the Ooi nuke plant in Fukui recently.

The shore of Wakasa Bay in Fukui is called a "Nuke Ginza," with 14 nuke-related plants.

Yesterday, the head of METI, Edano, has visited the Governor of Fukui, Nishikawa, asking for the restart, only after a day he has commented that the country should avoid relying on nukes.

Increasing pressure for the local community seem to be massive.

Some friends drove to Ooi for the ongoing protest.

For my part, I sow summer veg seeds, water apple shoots and strawberries, and write this blog.


I believe we can and should phase out nuke power, and we've got abundant alternative natural and human energy.


If Ooi plant is not restarted, from May 5 with the halt of Tomari plant in Hokkaido, Japan will experience nuke free period due to the check ups on all nuke plants.

I'd love to discover innovative ways to survive the heat of summer, with less nuke, less abuse.


I'll be back.

come rain come shine

Raining in O.

Last night was a sparking bud for me.
Deciding my path to follow and walk with a permaculturalist that I've met three years ago.

I promised to move into F in May and to succeed the extension of permaculture,
and to support the establishment of Yagaku.

This dedication intends to make a more creative, democratic and artistic culture, while
nurturing self-sufficient places and promoting ecological networks in Jp.

Three things that I aim to start this spring.
One is this blog,
two is the book,
three is the farmstead.

It's been a year since 2011.3.11 and it'll still be a long way to recover from the pain and loss.
Feeling, however, that the spring has come again, we can start moving on.

I'll be back.
