Satoyama Spirit

This is a beautiful blog written by a friend, Alan Zulch. He very articulately describes the traditional Japanese way of life lived in harmony with the land and nature which is called Satoyama. He explains that this older wisdom is being revived in modern Japan but often it is lacking a deep understanding of the ethics and values that are at its foundation.

Be sure and look at his collection of images, they convey the spirit of satoyama most eloquently:
