Earth & Peace Festival on November 11



Earth & Peace Festival

“Society changes by each and every person putting a seed into the Earth”

Operation Seeding is a campaign that started at the traditional bean-throwing festival on February 3, 2007. Now it is time for our harvest festival. The Earth & Peace Festival will be held on Sunday, November 11, 2007 at Shiba Kouen in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Update: The Japan Times Sowing seeds of organic action

A live, open-air concert has been organized by the singer Yae, who practices farming in Kamogawa, Chiba prefecture. A spectacular and wonderful show will be presented by musicians and special guests on a stage with a solar power system. At the bamboo tent area you can enjoy and see the potential of farming by strolling along the farmers’ market, with booths explaining agro-tourism, fair trade, food mileage, etc. Of course, you can taste delicious and soul-warming food and drinks in the food area.

By linking ”Earth & Peace” to ”Farming Happiness” we can feel our connection to the Earth, while promoting a safe and sustainable lifestyle. This festival will bring to each and every person a sense of joy of living with the Earth.

Please come and join the festival!

Have fun!

That's good, because war and famine will also go on no matter the weather. (until we end it). :^)

Sigh! It's days like this when I wish I lived within commuting distance of Tokyo.

It sounds like a fantastic event! Many positive wishes for its success.

Global Article 9 Conference to Abolish War

Image
A unique three-day international conference is being held at Makuhari near Tokyo, a day after the 61st anniversary of the enforcement of Japan's Constitution. It is organized by nongovernmental groups, including Japan-based Peace Boat . Organizers said the meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss the significance of the constitutional article that endorses demilitarization and what people can do to promote its spirit, notes The Japan Times . While the constitution stipulates that Japan renounces war as a sovereign right and that it will not maintain land, sea and air forces, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has been keen to make amendments. "The war in Iraq has shown that even the strongest, biggest army in the world can not keep peace in a single city. It proves that aggression never instates peace," Tatsuya Yoshioka, director of Peace Boat and a representative of the event's organizing committee, said during the opening remarks. "Article 9 is a treasu...

Salvador Dali, Hiroshima and Okinawa

Image
Spanish artist Salvador Dali was deeply terrified by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , and his exact, detailed style was very much suited to show the horror of the A-bomb, which America tried to keep a secret by classifying photos and descriptions until the end of the occupation of Japan in 1952. The Bureau of Atomic Tourism has more details if you want to know more about the legacy of nuclear weapons in the U.S. Even today, do people understand the real horror of atomic bombs? If not, then, why not ? Dali's paintings are on display in Fukushima prefecture, where you can view Melancholy Atomic and Uranium Idyll and The Three Sphinxes of Bikini at the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art . Long YouTube video from the Nihon University (Nichidai) channel with an interview featuring Morohashi Eiji, the son of the founder of the unique museum, and scenes from the Morohashi Museum (29:20): #271美術館への誘い ダリの世界 Is there a hidden message in Dali's Bikini hydrogen bomb painting...
