"Japan's Secret Garden

For at least 2,000 years, a unique way of life has flourished around
the
shores of Japan's largest freshwater lake - Lake Biwa - fed by more
than 500
rivers that descend from the rugged, forested interior of Honshu
Island. To
exploit the abundant mountain water, generations of farmers have
transformed
the foothills surrounding the lake into a maze of ingeniously
engineered
terraced fields. The balance between humans and nature is reflected in
the
Japanese name for the cultivated areas: satoyama (sato --
"village/people"
and yama -- "mountain/nature"). This high-definition (HDTV) documentary
captures the subtle lessons and lush abundance of Satoyama.

Original broadcast date: 12/18/2000
