Yesterday I was off to see the lord of Ozu, well is pronounced Oozu 大洲 and is a small town in Ehime prefecture 愛媛県, that in the island of Shikoku 四国島. Ozu is famous for its castle.  Oozue castle. Its big, wooden and sits on top of a hill overlooking a river, Very similar to Inuyama castle 犬山城. But whats cool about this castle is its new. Its only 18 years old!!

I am also doing a fundraising campaign for Nepal girls in rural regions. If you could support this project in any way it would be much appreciated

(119) Starting a Trash collection group and Upcycling goals  JinJapan Podcast 20220316

Last month I started my own trash collection group inside my Address nomad community. We had a great start with are Hashtag activities, just picking up one piece of trash a day #今日の一ゴミ as even with Conor still around its not an excuse to not clean up the place we live in. We are also now planning an event. With the first one going to be in Syoudo Island 小豆島 next month 

I also took part in a great trash collection group in Tokyo. Tokyo river friends is an international group that meets up every two weeks to clean up the rivers of Tokyo. For their events check out their meet.com page and also they have a very active Instagram. You will be surprised what they find

In the second part of today's episode, I talk more about upcycling activities. Taking the collected trash and turning that into valuable items. One great company that's doing this is Bouy (ブイ) which creates very nice recycled trash washed up on beaches. You can even send your own collected trash to them and they will pay you per KG and it's more than the price of steel and scrap metal. So it's a great chance to make some money while making Japan beaches much cleaning

But they're not just plastic trash, there is also a lot of Wood trash washed up on Japanese beaches. As Taifuu 台風 come and reck the Japanese coastline learning to lots of wash up natural trash. Lucky my company's boss's brother is now seeing this as a business change and started to great Japanese cultural drums from the washed-up drip wood. SHowing that this trash is not trash but a valuable resource

(118) Trip to Isumi city いすみ市 and ADDress. JinJapan Podcast 20220314

I have been on the bike last week travelling around Chiba prefecture this time to Isumi city, (いすみ市). Its number 1 on the top countryside places people want to move to in Japan (日本の田舎に住みたい所の第一位), and its only 90min away from Tokyo on the JR line. But I took a bike. Cycled along the coastline, ate some good fish, and met some interesting people.

If you are travelling to Japan in the spring or Autumn, I highly recommend a nice relaxing trip to Isumi.

(116) Sennorikyu千利休 P2:The power of tea and death of Sennorikyu

Sennorikyu,  lived through the warring states period of Japan history but he was not a samurai but a tea person 茶人. And the head tea person for the most powerful warlord of the land. 

Today I will continue my talk about his life, the power and role the tea ceremony had for the warlord of Japan and the story surrounding the death of Sennorikyu. As we have ordered to Commit ritual suicide 切腹 by the ruler of Japan at the time Hideyoshi 秀吉. But the reason why is still unclear but likely due to the power Sennorikyu had. That was the power to decide what is beautiful or not.  

I am also doing a fundraising campaign for Nepal girls in rural regions. If you could support this project in any way it would be much appreciated
