Matt Crawford speaks with author Richard McCarthy about his, and Tsuyoshi Sekihara's book, Kuni. What is Kuni? Kuni refers to a particular community that focuses on sustainability and connections. Connections with the environment and perhaps more importantly, each other. Kuni is both a reimagining of the Japanese word for nation and an approach to reviving rural communities. It shows what happens when dedicated people invest their hearts, minds, souls and backs into a community and live with in reliance with one and other. This is such an unexpected and thought provoking read that will stir contemplation and reflection. I hope you all will give it a read.
