Beautiful day with Akiko & Hiroki Fukuoka @f.masanobu.shizen, the grandson of the late legendary #MasanobuFukuoka #onestrawrevolution, with Masanobu’s son Masato, and great grandson Asahi. @yawatahama_marmalade_festival @marmaladeawards judge & patron Michael Perry @watercurtaincave planned & insisted we go. And so so happy we did.
????
We were invited by Taro Nakamura, who produces award-winning marmalade using the fruit from the citrus farm on the hillside tended to by #MasanobuFukuoka, and now by Hiroki. The marmalade uses organic cane Sugar from #Kagoshima, and produced by people living with developmental challenges.
????
Then we travelled to #MasanobuFukuoka’s old home and philosophical study buildings in the forest, the ruins slowly being reclaimed back into in hillside & earth 5 years after Masanobu’s death. One day it will just be a memory, an echo
