"–An especially interesting, unusually cultural aware blog (cross
cultural marriage based aware) –New Zealander –Japanese –big Fukuoka
Masanobu influence, but different influences and some aspects open
mindedly at odds with him too.
On this blog and elsewhere of their materials i've read about their
lives and farming in New Zealand and Japan. i've read elsewhere about
their learnings and influence on them by, also Professor Haikai Tane (he
in NZ Oz China ... "Koorinesian"), who also says he's greatly influenced
by late Master Fukuoka Masanobu in turn. Further in turn, Prof. Haikai
Tane has been the brains behind popularly famed, televised, published,
Australian Peter Andrews of "Natural Sequence Farming" fame;
As not so widely known, and not advertised, in fact, late Master Fukuoka
Masanobu is the brains behind not only much of all this above, but
really also of the Fukuoka–misappropriation (knowledgeably i advise you
all) so called PermaCultUre (–documented facts).
Perhaps Shikigami authors and Prof. Tane are members of our little group
here,
big phat! welcome, if you are here;
Our very–much–*partially* in touch with everything 福岡正信 Fukuoka
Masanobu and 自然農法 Nature Farming (Natural Law), little group.
Some few of us members here are in touch sometimes with late Master 福岡
正信 Fukuoka Masanobu's long term Japanese associates, when available,
and i'm continuing my slow learning of Japanese language and culture,
currently emphasising learning Japanese kanji (Chinese characters)
writing. This learning is motivated much more by the late Master Fukuoka
Masanobu based synergy, of my Oz nature farming life practise together
with my Japanese language scholarly learning."
all the best,
Mr. Jason Stewart.

Some marvellous joy SHIKIGAMI shares.
"Their photostream has some brilliance, tried it just now for my first
look, motivated more so for looking more by sharing the link and
annotations with you all here."
"Agree on the quotation: "i store meat in the belly of my brother"
Pirahã person (via author Eisenstein's quoting)
Their photographs show some of their excellent mountain forest 自然農法
(shizen nōhō) nature farming (natural law) practises, some in the true
sense of late master Fukuoka, Masanobu.
Brilliance! i have a few specialised criticisms of previous points in
earlier of their blog posts and so am not a fool for everything said,
but that is all in the spirit of advancement. Their farming grows itself
very well in my humble little opinion, as per late master Fukuoka,
Masanobu; In a really temperate mountain climate—quite distinct climate
from his really warm temperate/only–just–subtropical W Shikoku, S Japan
family nature farm.
Love this one.
Not a need at all for reinterpretations into western–style–religion self
inhibition/prohibition/limitation/restraint as they obviously have well
got on the way of getting their–selves participating within nature
around them—they've obviously really got the spirit of it well underway
and being internalised so they less need external self–controls on
themselves—exceeding the
self–other/object–subject/nature–culture/body–earth non–existent (false)
divide(s)。 Rene de Cartes was wrong!!! (clearly)!
身土不二!!!!!!。"
Thanks.
