00:00:29.030 --> 00:00:31.030
Ladies and gentlemen,

1
00:00:32.723 --> 00:00:38.712
I thank the president of from South Korea, and National Balanced Development Committee,

2
00:00:38.712 --> 00:00:42.699
for inviting me and my wife to this forum.

3
00:00:46.213 --> 00:00:52.728
We the Taiwan government also consider Peace and balanced development between nations very important 

4
00:00:52.728 --> 00:00:58.455
Last weekend, there was an accident in Itaewon

5
00:00:58.455 --> 00:01:01.750
On behalf of Taiwan government,

6
00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:07.624
I send my deepest condolences to the Korean government and its nation 

7
00:01:07.624 --> 00:01:12.085
I hope the Koreans could get better very soon

8
00:01:12.085 --> 00:01:15.890
from this tragedy

9
00:01:16.017 --> 00:01:20.973
And lastly on behalf of Taiwan government 

10
00:01:20.973 --> 00:01:24.789
Taiwan stands with South Korea at this difficult time

11
00:01:25.188 --> 00:01:25.780
Hello,

12
00:01:26.263 --> 00:01:29.574
I am Kong Lingjun from Beijing, China.

13
00:01:29.973 --> 00:01:31.391
And I am the founder of ‘Koncise’

14
00:01:31.391 --> 00:01:34.707
I am greeting you all through this video

15
00:01:35.916 --> 00:01:37.382
It's a shame

16
00:01:37.625 --> 00:01:40.168
that I couldn’t attend this forum,

17
00:01:40.362 --> 00:01:41.982
because of the COVID19

18
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.932
Hope the forum runs smoothly 

19
00:01:46.175 --> 00:01:48.243
And I am also honored that I have the opportunity here to 

20
00:01:48.243 --> 00:01:50.887
to introduce my company

21
00:01:50.887 --> 00:01:53.069
Our company aims

22
00:01:53.263 --> 00:01:57.580
to manufacture luxury goods in China

23
00:01:57.580 --> 00:01:59.344
Our product is

24
00:01:59.635 --> 00:02:02.676
is made with historical enamels 

25
00:02:02.676 --> 00:02:05.769
Enamels holds over 3,000 year history

26
00:02:05.769 --> 00:02:08.600
And it also has been around 300 years since

27
00:02:08.988 --> 00:02:11.374
the use of enamels on watches and accessories 

28
00:02:11.374 --> 00:02:13.674
The world's top 

29
00:02:13.917 --> 00:02:15.953
10 watch brands

30
00:02:16.244 --> 00:02:19.885
have all released enamel-made watches and accessories

31
00:02:20.419 --> 00:02:25.037
And all these watch and accessories is really an art piece

32
00:02:25.037 --> 00:02:28.091
We have ran this business since 2008,

33
00:02:28.674 --> 00:02:30.001
focused on the product development,

34
00:02:30.001 --> 00:02:33.152
and successfully developed the best 

35
00:02:33.152 --> 00:02:36.144
enamel products

36
00:02:36.144 --> 00:02:39.067
The technology we developed has been successful

37
00:02:39.261 --> 00:02:41.517
in both Chinese watches and accessories

38
00:02:41.517 --> 00:02:43.689
We've been attending Baselworld, the world's best clock fair 

39
00:02:43.689 --> 00:02:45.880
since 2015

40
00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:46.724
Plus, when we first attend the fair,

41
00:02:46.724 --> 00:02:49.988
our watch was put into the collection of National Watch Museum.

42
00:02:49.988 --> 00:02:53.100
Furthermore, the City Hall from Basel,

43
00:02:53.100 --> 00:02:56.962
and the biggest Chinese museum called Palace Museum

44
00:02:56.962 --> 00:02:58.378
decided to put our watch to their collections.

45
00:02:58.378 --> 00:03:00.106
We were able to have these honors

46
00:03:00.446 --> 00:03:03.652
because of our special team

47
00:03:03.652 --> 00:03:07.198
This team is made up of hearing impaired people

48
00:03:07.198 --> 00:03:08.899
Some of the members are college students,

49
00:03:08.899 --> 00:03:11.018
and some members

50
00:03:11.309 --> 00:03:13.003
who worked at a bakery

51
00:03:13.003 --> 00:03:15.398
and also who used to work at the hotel laundry

52
00:03:15.689 --> 00:03:19.052
Others may see them as underpriviliged

53
00:03:19.295 --> 00:03:21.160
They may be considered as lower working class

54
00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:23.076
The way we, the Kong family, see is

55
00:03:23.464 --> 00:03:25.138
that they are not different from us

56
00:03:25.138 --> 00:03:27.133
With the mindset that benevolent people must love others,

57
00:03:27.133 --> 00:03:28.730
We created this brand

58
00:03:28.730 --> 00:03:30.270
With that mindset, we love this world,

59
00:03:30.270 --> 00:03:32.016
We love the people around us

60
00:03:32.016 --> 00:03:34.028
Therefore, with benevolentness,

61
00:03:34.028 --> 00:03:36.676
We try our best to change this particular organization

62
00:03:37.112 --> 00:03:38.881
We have shaped about 40 of

63
00:03:38.881 --> 00:03:41.746
world-class porcelain enamel masters

64
00:03:41.746 --> 00:03:43.543
As a result, we can show more enterprises,

65
00:03:43.543 --> 00:03:45.582
more media and government

66
00:03:46.310 --> 00:03:47.862
disabled people's new aspect that is different from the past

67
00:03:47.862 --> 00:03:50.479
and history

68
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:51.974
For a recent decade,

69
00:03:51.974 --> 00:03:54.778
Us, Kong people, have proved

70
00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:56.610
the value of the disabled people

71
00:03:56.610 --> 00:03:58.089
and hearing impaired 

72
00:03:58.089 --> 00:04:02.781
We indirectly affected nearly 3000 people with disabilities

73
00:04:03.121 --> 00:04:06.672
We have let people with disabilities have a life full of the joys of spring

74
00:04:06.672 --> 00:04:09.064
by hiring them as high quality laborer

75
00:04:09.484 --> 00:04:10.513
Additionally,

76
00:04:10.513 --> 00:04:11.985
in this world,

77
00:04:11.985 --> 00:04:13.247
I hope more people with disabilities

78
00:04:13.247 --> 00:04:15.238
to come out from their room

79
00:04:15.592 --> 00:04:18.466
and not to get discouraged

80
00:04:18.918 --> 00:04:20.675
just because they are disabled

81
00:04:20.918 --> 00:04:22.729
to raise one's head and to puff their chest out

82
00:04:22.729 --> 00:04:26.708
to walk on their own unique path

83
00:04:27.192 --> 00:04:28.804
and to build their own unique future

84
00:04:29.364 --> 00:04:30.442
Thank you

85
00:04:31.477 --> 00:04:33.088
Hello, my name is Soin

86
00:04:33.088 --> 00:04:36.702
I share chinese calligraphy, and I am an international cultural exchange supporter

87
00:04:36.702 --> 00:04:38.864
and also an art teacher 

88
00:04:38.864 --> 00:04:43.971
Thank you for inviting me to International Forum on Peace & Balanced Development in Asia

89
00:04:43.971 --> 00:04:47.925
I am so honored to be able to join this year

90
00:04:47.925 --> 00:04:50.027
I am unable to be there physically,

91
00:04:50.027 --> 00:04:53.305
however, thanks to advanced technology,

92
00:04:53.305 --> 00:04:58.674
I am able to continue the multi-cultural communication among our region

93
00:04:59.502 --> 00:05:00.385
The time flies very fast

94
00:05:00.385 --> 00:05:03.259
The last time I visted Korea was in 2017

95
00:05:03.259 --> 00:05:07.314
At that time, I attened an event called better together 2017 in Cheongju

96
00:05:07.314 --> 00:05:10.734
The event was very successfull

97
00:05:10.734 --> 00:05:13.213
and I still can't forget the experience

98
00:05:13.213 --> 00:05:16.327
But, after the pandemic,

99
00:05:16.327 --> 00:05:20.943
It looks like the form of international cultural exchange has been diversified tremendously

100
00:05:20.943 --> 00:05:25.863
Education Activities in daily life also suffered from inconvenience due to the pandemic,

101
00:05:25.863 --> 00:05:28.214
sometimes non-face-to-face, and sometimes face-to-face

102
00:05:28.214 --> 00:05:30.837
we mixed those to continue the class

103
00:05:31.346 --> 00:05:34.899
unfortunately, the global epidemic 

104
00:05:34.899 --> 00:05:38.003
suspended our international cultural exchange

105
00:05:38.003 --> 00:05:40.929
we tried our best to communicate with one another 

106
00:05:40.929 --> 00:05:45.000
and tried to understand each others to sought for the common prosperity.

107
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.329
all of these are now ceased because of the pandemic 

108
00:05:47.329 --> 00:05:51.885
what hurts more is that the war is still happening 

109
00:05:51.885 --> 00:05:54.583
and many conflicts occur time to time 

110
00:05:54.583 --> 00:05:58.626
in addition to these, famines, and people's livelihoods are falling into chaos happens every single day.

111
00:05:59.559 --> 00:06:02.384
After I received an invitation from this forum, 

112
00:06:02.739 --> 00:06:07.069
I have considered not only Asia but our world's peace and balanced development 

113
00:06:07.349 --> 00:06:08.767
I am very pleased and excited

114
00:06:08.767 --> 00:06:14.657
that a lot of people not only thinking about the world's peace,

115
00:06:14.657 --> 00:06:18.856
but witnessing that people are actually making an action for it.

116
00:06:19.346 --> 00:06:24.598
Facing the changes of the global situations amidst the history,

117
00:06:24.598 --> 00:06:27.896
sometimes we stay separated with our close friends and cousins

118
00:06:28.284 --> 00:06:30.738
I was thinking what a person like me can do 

119
00:06:31.642 --> 00:06:35.778
and after considering what I can do, I have decided to spread the goods through the Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy.

120
00:06:36.494 --> 00:06:42.523
In Chines culture, we considered the unity as a good   influence throughout the thousands of years of history

121
00:06:42.849 --> 00:06:51.000
take a look at this Chinese letter written in almost 2,000years ago, which contains the meaning of 'good' 

122
00:06:51.363 --> 00:06:57.441
this letter is formed with 'yang' and two 'eun'

123
00:06:57.796 --> 00:07:03.679
In China, Yang stands for good, pure, and kindness

124
00:07:04.024 --> 00:07:07.043
and the two 'eun' represents the communication between two person 

125
00:07:07.170 --> 00:07:09.704
combining all together, makes the meaning of 'having a good relationship with verbal communication'  

126
00:07:10.350 --> 00:07:14.680
rather I'm a child, parent, or teacher,

127
00:07:15.001 --> 00:07:21.710
we all can practice ourselves to communicate and talk with good words. 

128
00:07:22.176 --> 00:07:25.584
Considering each other and embrace more

129
00:07:25.778 --> 00:07:28.667
makes less fights, blames or conflicts 

130
00:07:28.667 --> 00:07:32.997
and is the way to solve problems together, not making it worse.

131
00:07:33.834 --> 00:07:42.193
All the people around the world who has relations with our calligraphy studio 

132
00:07:42.193 --> 00:07:44.701
may stay in peace and be safe

133
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.916
or hope all of you are trying for our harmonious and peaceful life 

134
00:07:47.916 --> 00:07:52.263
and wish to practice in our daily life to spread the goods around us 

135
00:07:53.135 --> 00:07:55.669
Thank you and sincerely wish the best for all 

136
00:07:55.924 --> 00:07:56.856
Hello

137
00:07:57.405 --> 00:08:03.677
Dear host and distinguished guests, 

138
00:08:03.962 --> 00:08:06.400
I am Phona from China 

139
00:08:06.837 --> 00:08:14.309
It is my great honor to receive an invitation from 2022 International Forum on Peace and Balanced Development in Asia 

140
00:08:14.599 --> 00:08:16.696
due to the pandemic,

141
00:08:16.696 --> 00:08:24.643
it is very unfortunate that I couldn't personally visit South Korea to have more meaningful relationship with you guys 

142
00:08:24.865 --> 00:08:30.651
Like this, I have no choice but to carefully go through this forum online

143
00:08:30.907 --> 00:08:33.917
and learn from you 

144
00:08:34.330 --> 00:08:39.146
I would like to introduce about Chinese public interests and management, 

145
00:08:39.146 --> 00:08:43.397
and social innovation practice

146
00:08:43.670 --> 00:08:49.019
This project started by the public interest fund association which I founded in 2022

147
00:08:49.246 --> 00:08:53.285
after founding the association, I realized I will not be able to find a right person to fit our association 

148
00:08:53.494 --> 00:08:59.717
because at that time, there were no public interest fund related majors in school.

149
00:09:00.125 --> 00:09:02.999
I couldn't help myself but study in the UK, the United States and other countries

150
00:09:02.999 --> 00:09:05.512
I had no choice but to interact with the people there

151
00:09:05.903 --> 00:09:10.282
Then I realized that in the US and the UK

152
00:09:10.282 --> 00:09:15.000
This kind of NGO 3rd party service is very professional

153
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.628
Found out that they were growing steadily 

154
00:09:18.084 --> 00:09:21.783
When I interacted with the Rockefeller family office in the United States,

155
00:09:21.783 --> 00:09:25.777
The first thing that started this business in the United States was

156
00:09:25.777 --> 00:09:29.212
I found out that I’m a member of this family office

157
00:09:29.322 --> 00:09:31.889
After they set up the fund

158
00:09:31.889 --> 00:09:35.103
At first, they couldn’t fund a professional manager

159
00:09:35.103 --> 00:09:40.403
That’s why they asked the Rockefeller foundation’s professional organization to manage the fund

160
00:09:40.403 --> 00:09:44.217
This is the very beginning of a public utility

161
00:09:44.217 --> 00:09:47.143
After the time went by

162
00:09:47.857 --> 00:09:50.391
This business has been successful

163
00:09:50.391 --> 00:09:54.744
It is said that there is even a listed company in the United States that provides 3rd party services professionally

164
00:09:55.199 --> 00:09:59.675
Through this, social values and economic values were obtained at once

165
00:09:59.675 --> 00:10:02.413
These ideas gave me a great inspiration

166
00:10:02.413 --> 00:10:07.326
After I returned to China in 2020, I established Beijing Usjuhang technology

167
00:10:07.326 --> 00:10:12.192
With this specialized service, I was able to help many fundraisers

168
00:10:12.192 --> 00:10:16.498
Solving problem of not finding a managerial talent

169
00:10:16.596 --> 00:10:21.751
Now we’re talking about technology and public interest

170
00:10:21.751 --> 00:10:24.660
Through a combination of education and public interest and finance and public interest

171
00:10:24.660 --> 00:10:28.125
We are supplementing and supporting public utilities in many forms

172
00:10:28.125 --> 00:10:32.547
Also, in a way that adds to the public interest of the industry

173
00:10:32.547 --> 00:10:37.054
To help people running the business in various fields to find their expertise

174
00:10:37.054 --> 00:10:42.293
Use the characteristics of business development to support public interest projects

175
00:10:42.583 --> 00:10:47.350
In addition, innovation in our work as well as in donation

176
00:10:47.657 --> 00:10:51.793
Especially material donation system we’ve created

177
00:10:52.090 --> 00:10:58.071
Not only did it effectively address the donor’s inventory burden

178
00:10:58.072 --> 00:11:04.781
It also helped raise donations from the fundraiser

179
00:11:04.992 --> 00:11:08.448
In this process, we’re dealing with finance, ethics, logistics and etc

180
00:11:08.448 --> 00:11:14.587
Everything in supple chain must be planned and connected

181
00:11:15.001 --> 00:11:21.855
We’re also joined by Empson, an organization that’s currently actively growing

182
00:11:22.238 --> 00:11:25.064
China recently hosted the 20th National Congress

183
00:11:25.064 --> 00:11:27.274
They seem to have a lot of interest in public services

184
00:11:27.607 --> 00:11:31.063
However the happiness of the people must be continued forever

185
00:11:31.064 --> 00:11:35.394
The focus on the next step is on how the people

186
00:11:35.394 --> 00:11:40.375
Focusing on whether gaining greater happiness and fulfillment

187
00:11:40.376 --> 00:11:45.628
After all sectors solving the basic poverty problem

188
00:11:45.628 --> 00:11:50.435
Need to increase the happiness of the people

189
00:11:50.435 --> 00:11:58.121
Under the dual development requirement of common wealth and the people to pursue a happy life

190
00:11:58.121 --> 00:12:01.988
I believe China’s public service business will develop furthermore

191
00:12:01.988 --> 00:12:06.058
We’re specialized service provide

192
00:12:06.058 --> 00:12:08.462
We will continue to grow and the size of the business will grow as well

193
00:12:08.462 --> 00:12:12.841
So far, we’ve already established 7 branches in China

194
00:12:12.841 --> 00:12:14.591
We provide service to over 50 organizations

195
00:12:14.591 --> 00:12:17.520
There are over 9,000 foundations in China

196
00:12:17.520 --> 00:12:21.276
We’ll set up more branches soon

197
00:12:21.276 --> 00:12:22.889
To provide with more services to the fundraisers

198
00:12:22.927 --> 00:12:25.577
It is our goal to make China’s public utility more active

199
00:12:25.577 --> 00:12:26.557
Thank you

200
00:12:26.981 --> 00:12:27.622
Hello

201
00:12:27.622 --> 00:12:30.640
I’m the head of center, Yang Gwangrae

202
00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:32.128
From Shanghai World Music Development Center

203
00:12:32.613 --> 00:12:35.341
I’m happy to communicate

204
00:12:35.341 --> 00:12:38.124
Through a video during COVID 

205
00:12:38.124 --> 00:12:38.736
Music is

206
00:12:38.736 --> 00:12:41.732
A language

207
00:12:42.181 --> 00:12:44.424
That can overcome the difference between a nation and a country

208
00:12:44.424 --> 00:12:47.498
Through past 15 years

209
00:12:47.498 --> 00:12:51.527
We have worked hard on creating multiculturalism musical festivals around China and Asia

210
00:12:51.527 --> 00:12:55.184
It has began in 2008 World Exhibition

211
00:12:55.394 --> 00:12:56.277
To this year

212
00:12:56.277 --> 00:12:58.678
Creating and planning a global multiculturalism music festival 

213
00:12:58.678 --> 00:13:00.692
We’re getting more inspiration through this

214
00:13:00.816 --> 00:13:02.428
Through music

215
00:13:02.817 --> 00:13:05.108
We hope more people and nations

216
00:13:05.108 --> 00:13:06.814
To be connected together

217
00:13:06.814 --> 00:13:10.040
I hope the International Forum on Peace and balanced development in Asia

218
00:13:10.424 --> 00:13:11.307
runs smoothly

219
00:13:11.577 --> 00:13:15.470
We will wait for you guys to visit us in Shanghai, China

220
00:13:15.470 --> 00:13:18.152
I hope we all make effort on peace on Asia, economic and cultural development

221
00:13:18.395 --> 00:13:19.637
Together

222
00:13:19.637 --> 00:13:21.394
We will be waiting for you guys in Shanghai, China

223
01:08:04.327 --> 00:55:02.067
I mentioned earlier, the book made with people’s memories

224
00:55:02.067 --> 00:55:03.484
I look forward for your kind cooperation

225
00:55:03.484 --> 00:55:05.161
I’m Oishi Aruma

226
00:55:06.377 --> 00:55:14.348
Firstly, my deep condolences to the Itaewon tragedy

227
00:55:14.348 --> 00:55:21.140
I want to thank everyone who has given me this amazing opportunity

228
00:55:21.140 --> 00:55:22.667
Thank you

229
00:55:23.260 --> 00:55:29.095
I’m going to explain you about the local pride created by art

230
00:55:29.795 --> 00:55:36.504
Many people might know that local art festivals are active in Japan

231
00:55:36.504 --> 00:55:42.494
The most respectable art festival by Niigata and the international art festival by Wassetouchi

232
00:55:42.494 --> 00:55:48.564
I believe there are more than 100 art festivals including these two

233
00:55:48.564 --> 00:55:53.142
Out of all, Japanese art magazine

234
00:55:53.142 --> 00:55:59.023
It has been selected as must see international festival 6000

235
00:55:59.613 --> 00:56:04.720
Compare to the art festivals hosting in cities

236
00:56:04.720 --> 00:56:10.549
It is only 1/10, 1/100 in the size of the budget

237
00:56:10.549 --> 00:56:19.066
In terms of the appearance of countryside expressed as an art, it is proudly the best art festival in Japan

238
00:56:19.066 --> 00:56:24.209
That’s the reason for the focus

239
00:56:24.209 --> 00:56:29.511
Regional era is focused on both Korea and Japan

240
00:56:29.511 --> 00:56:34.474
We need to create opportunities and identity in the provinces

241
00:56:34.474 --> 00:56:40.885
We believe the art is the method to revive the local

242
00:56:40.885 --> 00:56:47.215
I will be presenting with a theme of pride of the region created by art

243
00:56:50.194 --> 00:56:56.369
I am chairman of the board of directors of an NPO corporation called Cross Media Shimada, which is responsible for local revitalization

244
00:56:56.369 --> 00:57:03.607
After graduating from college, I went to the advertising agency and worked in Nagoya as a representative of a promotion company

245
00:57:03.607 --> 00:57:08.094
I returned home and established NPO corporation

246
00:57:08.385 --> 00:57:10.143
It’s been 10 years since the establishment

247
00:57:11.084 --> 00:57:13.667
I have a wife and two kids

248
00:57:13.667 --> 00:57:14.857
Gorgeous right?

249
00:57:14.857 --> 00:57:17.691
My wife came with me today

250
00:57:17.691 --> 00:57:21.257
I work together with my wife at NPO

251
00:57:21.257 --> 00:57:27.648
In developing local community business, I think it should start with family

252
00:57:27.648 --> 00:57:33.418
Because family is the smallest unit of the community 

253
00:57:33.886 --> 00:57:36.420
NPO business is

254
00:57:36.420 --> 00:57:42.105
dealing with various things such as advertising the community’s history, people and culture

255
00:57:42.105 --> 00:57:49.254
And providing educational opportunities for children to learn about society 

256
00:57:49.254 --> 00:57:55.520
Art is the main pillar of the developing local community

257
00:57:57.283 --> 00:58:02.341
Shizuoka has Mountain Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan

258
00:58:02.341 --> 00:58:07.949
And is abundant with teas and tangerines, a lot like Jeju Island 

259
00:58:07.949 --> 00:58:15.011
Even though there’s no ocean but it boasts warm weather and vast fields

260
00:58:15.011 --> 00:58:22.162
Shimada city is located in the middle of Shizuoka and the Ōi River is crossing the city

261
00:58:22.162 --> 00:58:31.264
Oi River used to connect Kyoto and Tokyo in Edo era and it was very rough path called Eastsea road

262
00:58:31.264 --> 00:58:35.690
It’s because building bridges in Oi River was banned

263
00:58:35.690 --> 00:58:41.659
So, when the river overflows, travelers had to stay in the area for days

264
00:58:41.659 --> 00:58:48.409
Because of that, the resources and culture had been impacted by travelers

265
00:58:48.409 --> 00:58:53.304
Thanks to that, the area became a place that has built a history along with Oi River

266
00:58:54.196 --> 00:58:57.847
Oigawa Railway is the railway that has build alongside the Oi River

267
00:58:57.847 --> 00:59:00.949
The unmanned station was selected as the stage of the art festival 

268
00:59:03.011 --> 00:59:09.234
Shimada city in not the only one that faces many difficulties in Japan

269
00:59:10.094 --> 00:59:14.331
There’s concurrent urbanization and depopulation 

270
00:59:14.331 --> 00:59:18.162
And rural area is suffering from aging population 

271
00:59:18.162 --> 00:59:23.063
As a result, local community has been weakened 

272
00:59:23.063 --> 00:59:27.325
The local infrastructure that supports the community is changing a lot

273
00:59:27.882 --> 00:59:35.804
For railways, there’s increasing number of unmanned station starting with the areas suffering from depopulation 

274
00:59:36.099 --> 00:59:42.322
I think the word ‘unmanned’ is the symbol of modern society 

275
00:59:42.923 --> 00:59:45.360
In rural area, depopulation leads to unmanned system

276
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:53.111
In big cities, efficiency and informatization results in unmanned stores and stations 

277
00:59:53.111 --> 01:00:01.272
unmanned system is spreading simultaneously in rural area and the bit cities

278
01:00:01.272 --> 01:00:06.603
One more thing, we found new unmanned system

279
01:00:06.603 --> 01:00:14.734
That’s cities all over the world has become unmanned because of the Covid-19

280
01:00:14.734 --> 01:00:18.575
The word ‘unmanned’ that symbolize modern society

281
01:00:18.575 --> 01:00:23.854
And this art festival held in unmanned station

282
01:00:23.854 --> 01:00:30.781
It creates values of interactions between

283
01:00:30.781 --> 01:00:34.343
artists, local residents and tourists meeting and communicating in the festival 

284
01:00:34.343 --> 01:00:41.522
As you can see in this logo, erase the word ‘unmanned’

285
01:00:41.522 --> 01:00:51.599
And challenge the question that if there’s more value in the interactions between the visitors and local residents

286
01:00:54.197 --> 01:01:00.469
The art festival has been held annually since 2018 and now there’s 5 festivals held so far

287
01:01:00.469 --> 01:01:05.389
Here’s the newest documentary video

288
01:01:09.126 --> 01:01:17.000
I’ll explain a little bit because there’s no audio due to technical problems 

289
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:25.546
This is a performance, a project that pursues creating kabuki with local residents 

290
01:01:25.546 --> 01:01:30.619
The artist named Mori Shigeya is leading the project

291
01:01:36.828 --> 01:01:40.770
This is the artist ‘Likigousan’ named ‘Wataru Negai’

292
01:01:40.770 --> 01:01:47.529
It’s a project re-establishing the area called ‘Banyado’ that

293
01:01:47.529 --> 01:01:50.523
couldn’t be crossed Oi River before

294
01:01:50.523 --> 01:01:53.524
This shows different local residents spreading from

295
01:01:53.524 --> 01:02:00.072
an unmanned station named ‘Higiri’

296
01:02:00.072 --> 01:02:06.908
This station was rebuilt with 400 bamboo logs

297
01:02:06.908 --> 01:02:10.687
creating a place where people can gather 

298
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:21.382
This is a car made with bamboo where the artist hop on and off

299
01:02:22.499 --> 01:02:29.062
Also, there’s a performance by an artist using bamboo

300
01:02:29.062 --> 01:02:32.696
that’s not accessible with hands

301
01:02:32.696 --> 01:02:39.253
There’s a session for musicians playing together inside of the unmanned station 

302
01:02:44.767 --> 01:02:52.350
Train runs in sunny day

303
01:02:52.350 --> 01:02:54.885
This is called ‘Kugurikobuchi’

304
01:02:54.885 --> 01:03:00.278
An artist heard a story about local residents putting traps to catch wild birds

305
01:03:00.278 --> 01:03:09.884
so this was created in the view of the artist watching the trap

306
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:23.034
There’s ‘Satogoshigan’, an amazing art piece in the unmanned station 

307
01:03:23.034 --> 01:03:26.948
This piece wonders around houses and comes back to the station

308
01:03:26.948 --> 01:03:33.484
This is a marvelous globe built in tea plantation 

309
01:03:33.484 --> 01:03:41.483
Local residents maintain it and put it outside when it’s not raining 

310
01:03:42.761 --> 01:03:52.237
An artist created ‘Curtain in tea plantation’. It provides resting place in the start point of the tea plantation 

311
01:03:53.396 --> 01:04:03.163
An artist, Dakaki Kaoru, created this ‘Misuhiki’ using tools that is used for celebration 

312
01:04:07.114 --> 01:04:14.260
An artist found this deserted barn interesting and 

313
01:04:14.260 --> 01:04:21.468
It's a work that expresses the fictional story of God coming down here

314
01:04:31.644 --> 01:04:39.227
This is ‘Unmanned station book store’. An artist researched memories of the station 

315
01:04:39.227 --> 01:04:46.744
For about a month and made the story into a book

316
01:04:52.947 --> 01:04:59.462
This is local festival and there’s a dance named ‘shikanmai’, also called ‘Kagura’

317
01:04:59.462 --> 01:05:08.328
An artist revised it in a modern way and as you can see it is being performed 

318
01:05:13.459 --> 01:05:17.498
As you can see in the screen, one of the artists made a bridge 

319
01:05:17.498 --> 01:05:24.229
in Oi River with local residents 

320
01:05:24.229 --> 01:05:33.785
The artist believes that the children who participated in building the bridge will remember this for the rest of their lives

321
01:05:57.176 --> 01:05:59.176
Yes, thank you

322
01:06:00.922 --> 01:06:07.485
Oi River railway is famous for its touristic tracks

323
01:06:09.436 --> 01:06:11.436
Sorry, hold on

324
01:06:11.871 --> 01:06:17.221
But 16 stations out of 20 is unmanned stations

325
01:06:17.221 --> 01:06:22.075
In another words, there’s only 4 stations that’s very busy with tourists 

326
01:06:22.075 --> 01:06:25.853
and other places are rarely visited

327
01:06:25.853 --> 01:06:33.864
Modern artists stay those stations and research and present their art work

328
01:06:33.864 --> 01:06:40.857
The most important thing is that which distinctive features were found in the view of artists 

329
01:06:40.857 --> 01:06:48.013
For example, there’s performance focusing on dragon which is a legend of Oi River

330
01:06:48.013 --> 01:06:53.706
An artist focusing on a tea plantation and making an interesting art piece 

331
01:06:53.706 --> 01:06:59.658
or transforming the station into a fortune teller’s shop

332
01:06:59.658 --> 01:07:07.999
Turning once a deserted place into an artwork attraction to attract people

333
01:07:07.999 --> 01:07:12.670
Artists have different views than most people like us

334
01:07:12.670 --> 01:07:23.260
They visualize the charm, project and places in an unexpected way which local residents couldn’t find attractive before

335
01:07:34.054 --> 01:07:37.705
And artists made a huge discovery 

336
01:07:37.705 --> 01:07:39.896
And that is the local residents

337
01:07:39.896 --> 01:07:47.694
As they communicate with local residents through co-op art project and accommodation support

338
01:07:47.694 --> 01:07:52.811
Artists found that that most important resource 

339
01:07:52.811 --> 01:07:56.737
in the regions is local residents 

340
01:07:56.737 --> 01:08:04.327
As a result, local residents are appearing in the expression of the artists

341
01:08:08.825 --> 01:08:12.302
A video project where they appear

342
01:08:12.302 --> 01:08:17.187
Guys turning into models for the fashion show

343
01:08:17.187 --> 01:08:22.344
The expression of artists is coming close to local residents 

344
01:08:22.344 --> 01:08:28.754
But these old men are in their 60s and 70s who doesn’t know anything about art or gallery 

345
01:08:28.754 --> 01:08:34.493
When artists are doing their project, these men just came up and helped them

346
01:08:34.493 --> 01:08:40.966
And the artists started calling them fairies at some point

347
01:08:40.966 --> 01:08:47.051
These old men called fairies became an iconic figures in the art festival 

348
01:08:48.764 --> 01:08:55.327
This once-called ‘unmanned’ region is noticeably changing through art projects

349
01:08:55.327 --> 01:08:59.837
Not just as a tourist attraction, people all over the nation 

350
01:08:59.837 --> 01:09:04.275
The biggest change happened in people's mind

351
01:09:04.275 --> 01:09:09.947
Local residents who said there was nothing in their area

352
01:09:09.947 --> 01:09:15.200
Started to rediscover the area themselves and began to take pride in the area

353
01:09:15.200 --> 01:09:22.696
Each of the charms, beautiful scenery, way of life, and dialect of their region is

354
01:09:22.696 --> 01:09:31.157
Being recognized by artists and visitors, creating a new identity

355
01:09:31.157 --> 01:09:41.552
Now, they are actively drinking together to welcome outside people and enjoying the art festival together

356
01:09:41.552 --> 01:09:47.141
This is proof that unmanned area is being noticed 

357
01:09:47.141 --> 01:09:51.698
It is important to attract people to the countryside

358
01:09:51.698 --> 01:10:00.627
But before that, Bringing pride or identity to local residents is top priority

359
01:10:00.627 --> 01:10:07.836
Otherwise, no matter how many people visit, it is hard for them to adapt

360
01:10:07.836 --> 01:10:12.826
In order to save the region, I think it is important to start activities within the region first

361
01:10:12.826 --> 01:10:17.853
As well as attention from outside

362
01:10:17.853 --> 01:10:20.306
I think opening a local area means

363
01:10:20.306 --> 01:10:29.466
That residents are proud and create their own area

364
01:10:30.728 --> 01:10:37.915
Even after the art festival is over, we are continuing to save the local area

365
01:10:37.915 --> 01:10:43.352
The guest house, the only accommodation in the region, will be launched next month

366
01:10:43.352 --> 01:10:53.052
And local residents and artists are working together on a project to walk along the mountain path while watching art

367
01:10:53.052 --> 01:10:58.941
In June, they're making a forest where we can see fireflies

368
01:10:58.941 --> 01:11:06.670
This weekend, about 50 people from outside will participate as a workshop in the tea field

369
01:11:06.670 --> 01:11:11.862
There is a perception within the local area that the group of area includes not only the residents who live there

370
01:11:11.862 --> 01:11:20.632
But also everyone who cares about the area

371
01:11:20.632 --> 01:11:31.231
From that point of view, the group called the area has the potential to expand to infinity, not to be small

372
01:11:31.231 --> 01:11:37.551
If the pride of the region created after five years of preparation is at the center

373
01:11:37.551 --> 01:11:44.231
The economic and tourism effects will increase in the future

374
01:11:46.178 --> 01:11:51.188
Currently, they are preparing to hold it for their sixth times

375
01:11:51.188 --> 01:11:55.523
The next art festival is from February to March next year

376
01:11:55.523 --> 01:11:58.556
It would be grateful if you come by

377
01:11:58.556 --> 01:12:06.205
Artistic scenery and healthy old men called fairies will welcome you

378
01:12:06.205 --> 01:12:13.310
By then, I hope that direct flights between Shizuoka and Seoul will be open

379
01:12:13.310 --> 01:12:23.724
Also, if there is a place that wants to save the region through art, I think I would like to plan and proceed together

380
01:12:23.724 --> 01:12:26.153
Thank you for listening

381
01:12:47.346 --> 01:12:50.123
Nice to meet you

382
01:12:50.123 --> 01:12:52.458
I am Yokoshi Tomoji from Irodori,Co., Ltd

383
01:12:52.458 --> 01:12:54.509
I am grateful to see you

384
01:12:56.060 --> 01:12:59.662
Recently, a bad accident occurred

385
01:12:59.662 --> 01:13:04.672
And many people, including Japanese, died

386
01:13:04.672 --> 01:13:11.284
I express my condolences and pray for the deceased 

387
01:13:11.284 --> 01:13:14.108
Although it was held in this situation

388
01:13:14.108 --> 01:13:19.586
It is now an era in Japan where it is not unusual for any accidents

389
01:13:19.586 --> 01:13:24.009
Such as various accidents and natural disasters to occur

390
01:13:24.009 --> 01:13:29.556
It is often broadcast on TV that this has never happened

391
01:13:29.556 --> 01:13:33.894
That it is unprecedented

392
01:13:33.894 --> 01:13:39.555
That's how fast the environment and society changes

393
01:13:39.555 --> 01:13:43.068
The same goes for this competition

394
01:13:43.068 --> 01:13:50.965
Society is changing rapidly, so we need to change in a direction that fits the trend of the times

395
01:13:50.965 --> 01:14:03.782
Should I call it reform? I think it's Kamikatsu that's changing Japan the most

396
01:14:03.782 --> 01:14:11.290
The progress of the Kamikatsu is really attracting worldwide

397
01:14:11.290 --> 01:14:21.562
It's strange to say it myself, but there are so many stories coming out of various media that even in Japan, everyone knows

398
01:14:21.562 --> 01:14:28.897
And many people are gathering to learn from all over the world

399
01:14:28.897 --> 01:14:32.749
Currently, A lot of students came on a school trip

400
01:14:32.749 --> 01:14:40.798
Nowadays, students can learn and use their knowledge in their educational trip.

401
01:14:40.798 --> 01:14:47.566
So, this could mean that it foretold the future.

402
01:14:47.566 --> 01:14:58.847
First, It helps to develop regional resources in Japan.

403
01:14:58.847 --> 01:15:05.075
I think this covers the best role in Japan which develops the regional resources.

404
01:15:05.075 --> 01:15:07.972
Second one is the environmental problem.

405
01:15:07.972 --> 01:15:13.946
‘Zero waste’, which was introduced by Korean presenter beforehand,

406
01:15:13.946 --> 01:15:18.547
It's the most active city in Japan with Zero Waste 

407
01:15:18.547 --> 01:15:21.571
The recycle rate is about 80%.

408
01:15:21.571 --> 01:15:25.671
Plus, there is no garbage truck or dump,

409
01:15:25.671 --> 01:15:36.413
and all villagers bring their garbage to zero-waste center to distribute by 45.

410
01:15:36.413 --> 01:15:43.691
and we especially keep the mountains clean in terms of environmental or sustainable matter.

411
01:15:43.691 --> 01:15:50.255
In these days, woods from Japanese mountains aren’t sold that much,

412
01:15:50.255 --> 01:15:56.820
so there are lots of problems like wild boars, deer hunting, landslides, or flood.

413
01:15:56.820 --> 01:16:00.525
We are in the middle of serious problems

414
01:16:00.525 --> 01:16:03.009
That’s why we determined to change the mountains

415
01:16:03.009 --> 01:16:06.539
And we are challenging ourselves with that

416
01:16:06.539 --> 01:16:11.054
The goal of our sustainable development is to make Japan the best in the world,

417
01:16:11.054 --> 01:16:16.328
and make every city to be set digital.

418
01:16:16.328 --> 01:16:22.951
I also think it's the best city in Japan in terms of using digital

419
01:16:22.951 --> 01:16:29.631
Firstly, I'll talk about saving local resources 

420
01:16:29.631 --> 01:16:35.022
I am not from Kamikatsu

421
01:16:35.022 --> 01:16:45.363
I was born in Tokushima City and heard that Kamikatsu wanted people from other regions

422
01:16:45.363 --> 01:16:54.389
My father worked as a public servant, so he wanted me to become a public servant as well.

423
01:16:54.389 --> 01:16:59.946
But even though I easily passed the test, my will of wanting 

424
01:16:59.946 --> 01:17:04.828
to do what I want was too strong that

425
01:17:04.828 --> 01:17:10.233
I didn’t follow my father's wishes

426
01:17:10.233 --> 01:17:18.094
and instead came to Kamikatsu 

427
01:17:18.094 --> 01:17:24.172
My father would always lecture me at night of how important

428
01:17:24.172 --> 01:17:31.484
a stable job is and to make a lot of money

429
01:17:31.484 --> 01:17:39.520
Nevertheless, I went for Kamikatsu, knowing I want to challenge myself

430
01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:44.817
But as soon as I arrived, I knew so much was wrong

431
01:17:44.817 --> 01:17:50.413
People had nothing to be proud of.

432
01:17:50.413 --> 01:17:52.613
No self-love, and no pride.

433
01:17:52.613 --> 01:17:56.939
and would always gossip

434
01:17:56.939 --> 01:18:00.444
whenever they got together

435
01:18:00.444 --> 01:18:07.032
Likewise, I thought there never would be any changes in this city.

436
01:18:07.032 --> 01:18:12.276
I thought about changing the customs

437
01:18:12.276 --> 01:18:14.776
That we have to change everything how it was done

438
01:18:14.776 --> 01:18:22.763
Told everyone that everything needed to be changed

439
01:18:22.763 --> 01:18:25.414
And I was told off my a lot of people

440
01:18:25.414 --> 01:18:27.733
“So what can you do?”

441
01:18:27.733 --> 01:18:32.872
They even told me to get out of the city

442
01:18:32.872 --> 01:18:38.588
Then I realized that I needed their trust

443
01:18:38.588 --> 01:18:46.237
not just words but I need to show them in action to get their trust and will then they would listen to me.

444
01:18:46.237 --> 01:18:49.559
Additionally, their income was so low.

445
01:18:49.559 --> 01:18:53.653
Their business for tangerines was not good,

446
01:18:53.653 --> 01:18:55.143
also for agriculture,

447
01:18:55.143 --> 01:18:56.802
and even for construction industry.

448
01:18:56.802 --> 01:19:01.223
If they worked as a part-time job, all they got is minimum wage.

449
01:19:01.223 --> 01:19:09.659
And I realized this is a hard environment to raise kids

450
01:19:09.659 --> 01:19:16.147
When I went to the locals, a female resident told me that

451
01:19:16.147 --> 01:19:23.080
she would like to sent her child to college even if she needs to skip meals

452
01:19:23.080 --> 01:19:29.287
so she told me that it's okay for her to live in poverty

453
01:19:29.287 --> 01:19:32.692
for her child

454
01:19:32.692 --> 01:19:38.371
I kept those words in my mind

455
01:19:38.371 --> 01:19:47.541
to create the infrastructure to make citizens live without any worries.

456
01:19:47.541 --> 01:19:56.238
Plus, there is saying that ‘If we gather around, there will be nothing’.

457
01:19:56.238 --> 01:19:57.971
You know,

458
01:19:57.971 --> 01:20:04.841
I have said that everything in this region can be resources,

459
01:20:04.841 --> 01:20:09.054
but no one has ever listened to me.

460
01:20:09.054 --> 01:20:14.185
Therefore, I came up with selling leaves from mountains

461
01:20:14.185 --> 01:20:18.777
and make a business for it.

462
01:20:18.777 --> 01:20:23.695
Hatpa(leaf) is not well-known in South Korea,

463
01:20:23.695 --> 01:20:29.300
but as with Japanese dish,

464
01:20:29.300 --> 01:20:36.005
we put those leaves as toppings.

465
01:20:36.005 --> 01:20:38.794
That’s the Japanese culture.

466
01:20:38.794 --> 01:20:44.713
Nowadays, Japanese food are well known around the world that there are hundreds of thousands Japanese restaurants,

467
01:20:44.713 --> 01:20:55.158
these leaves cannot be removed from traditional Japanese dish - it is industrialized.

468
01:20:55.158 --> 01:20:57.350
And I thought this is it!

469
01:20:57.350 --> 01:21:02.443
I thought this is what I can use as business,

470
01:21:02.443 --> 01:21:07.035
so after I came from Osaka, watching some leaves in my dishes,

471
01:21:07.035 --> 01:21:11.695
I suggested to everyone that we should sell leaves.

472
01:21:11.695 --> 01:21:14.252
Everyone laughed at me

473
01:21:14.252 --> 01:21:18.910
If leaves in the mountains can be sold, there will be a lot of stores throughout the countryside.

474
01:21:18.910 --> 01:21:22.567
No one agreed with me, NO ONE.

475
01:21:22.567 --> 01:21:28.288
In addition, Male villagers blamed me.

476
01:21:28.288 --> 01:21:32.437
“Are you forcing us to beg?”

477
01:21:32.437 --> 01:21:38.202
“Only poor people sell the products that have no profit.”

478
01:21:38.202 --> 01:21:43.678
Then I said to them that regional resources are specialties.

479
01:21:43.678 --> 01:21:50.105
and “do you even know how difficult it is if you collect leaves in Tokyo?”

480
01:21:50.105 --> 01:22:02.566
No one has listened to me saying “we have to use regional things as regional resources”.

481
01:22:02.566 --> 01:22:06.263
So that was the time to show people that my suggestion was correct.

482
01:22:06.263 --> 01:22:10.041
I began to run the business.

483
01:22:10.041 --> 01:22:15.457
Since 1986,

484
01:22:15.457 --> 01:22:22.128
It has become a huge business and 80% of leaves are now produced in this city,

485
01:22:22.128 --> 01:22:29.710
shipped out by airplane.

486
01:22:29.710 --> 01:22:36.151
Many people around the world visit Japan to eat Japanese food because of low Yen currency rate

487
01:22:36.151 --> 01:22:44.574
Plus, even Japanese now enjoys traveling around Japan and having foods by giving them discounts on their travels.

488
01:22:44.574 --> 01:22:48.584
It really makes our business successful.

489
01:22:48.584 --> 01:22:54.841
In the meantime, Japan is planning to make every city use digital technologies,

490
01:22:54.841 --> 01:22:58.734
and our city is the most computer-using city in Japan.

491
01:22:58.734 --> 01:23:03.499
I thought this 23 years ago.

492
01:23:03.499 --> 01:23:08.885
When I visited Tokyo and went to a convenience store, I decided to implement this system in my region.

493
01:23:08.885 --> 01:23:15.489
Choosing price to sell whenever, whatever, wherever I want.

494
01:23:15.489 --> 01:23:22.510
I realized how important it is to a city.

495
01:23:22.510 --> 01:23:29.465
When I got back to my city, I suggested people have computers.

496
01:23:29.465 --> 01:23:32.719
As you know, there were no agreement.

497
01:23:32.719 --> 01:23:40.220
“NO” was from Japan, its prefetures, city, and even from citizens.

498
01:23:40.220 --> 01:23:46.750
Why they disagreed with it is that elders cannot use computers,

499
01:23:46.750 --> 01:23:58.531
I mean people in the age over 80 literally CANNOT use computers.

500
01:23:58.531 --> 01:24:03.298
But I knew that I can make them use it no matter what

501
01:24:03.298 --> 01:24:04.669
They'll able to use it

502
01:24:04.669 --> 01:24:07.056
The  keyboard

503
01:24:07.056 --> 01:24:09.743
Key on the keyboard uses Chinese characters of the mind (Japanese language play)

504
01:24:09.743 --> 01:24:14.383
It's important that you want to press it and try it

505
01:24:14.383 --> 01:24:24.478
I think the basic of IT technology is not to use it because it is convenient, but to press it because it is necessary

506
01:24:24.478 --> 01:24:32.364
And this is the system that we're using now

507
01:24:33.661 --> 01:24:37.311
There are about 800 farmers

508
01:24:37.311 --> 01:24:38.798
They are not employees

509
01:24:38.798 --> 01:24:44.803
Our company is receiving money for the contracted amount

510
01:24:44.803 --> 01:24:51.430
Most people use computers, tablets, and smartphones

511
01:24:51.430 --> 01:25:02.617
When people order, they use the Kintone system, which digitally sends order information to the country and then collects it again

512
01:25:02.617 --> 01:25:09.677
And we communicate using LINE

513
01:25:09.677 --> 01:25:23.035
This is the only system in Japan that recycles ICT throughout the region

514
01:25:23.035 --> 01:25:25.561
It already exists in other groups

515
01:25:25.561 --> 01:25:34.414
But I think Kamikatsu is the only place that is digitized by region

516
01:25:34.414 --> 01:25:37.368
And there's another big goal

517
01:25:37.368 --> 01:25:44.097
Right now, it's restricted to go out due to COVID

518
01:25:44.097 --> 01:25:49.350
So we are going to focus on creating a community using digital technology

519
01:25:49.350 --> 01:25:51.857
Digital community

520
01:25:51.857 --> 01:25:57.483
After all, what is needed and what is changing

521
01:25:57.483 --> 01:26:04.828
Things that are changing in today's society are updated here every day

522
01:26:04.828 --> 01:26:10.973
The fact that I'm making a speech in Korea today has been updated on this community

523
01:26:10.973 --> 01:26:25.391
Yokoishi is talking about the case of Japan in Korea. No matter where I am, there is no problem if I run it in one system

524
01:26:25.391 --> 01:26:33.993
The most important thing about an information in a rural area is whether you know it or not

525
01:26:33.993 --> 01:26:40.990
Knowing that person or not also acts as a very big hindrance to conversation

526
01:26:40.990 --> 01:26:54.663
This system is being used in a number of points: everyone knows, everyone recognizes in common, and delivers what I don't know properly

527
01:26:54.663 --> 01:27:02.412
And the Zero Waste that I mentioned. A Korean speaker also made an announcement

528
01:27:02.412 --> 01:27:08.321
In Japan's most actively promoted city of zero waist

529
01:27:08.321 --> 01:27:12.789
Garbage is distributed in 13 types and 45 ways

530
01:27:12.789 --> 01:27:19.525
I am in charge of distributing garbage in two areas, Tokushima and Kamikatsu

531
01:27:19.525 --> 01:27:30.412
If you ask me which one is more convenient, I say that Kamikatsu has a much better structure

532
01:27:30.412 --> 01:27:35.886
It's because we can take out the trash every day and we don't have time limit

533
01:27:35.886 --> 01:27:42.612
The amount of garbage that is discharged every day varies from person to person

534
01:27:42.612 --> 01:27:48.329
Also, in places like companies, the amount varys from day to day

535
01:27:48.329 --> 01:27:55.964
It is very convenient because it can be discharged even right now regardless of the day of the week

536
01:27:55.964 --> 01:28:00.664
If the number 45 may feel like high number

537
01:28:00.664 --> 01:28:11.614
But they are the number of household products, such as plastic bottles and lids

538
01:28:11.614 --> 01:28:16.310
It's not hard to understand

539
01:28:16.310 --> 01:28:25.226
And it's also very educational because, for example, if you take a newspaper,

540
01:28:25.226 --> 01:28:32.629
it says how much money is going back to the city and how much it costs

541
01:28:32.629 --> 01:28:37.610
You can see how much money is going back to the city

542
01:28:37.610 --> 01:28:42.716
And how much it costs

543
01:28:42.716 --> 01:28:53.637
It is very important to raise awareness of environmental issues and learn why they are necessary

544
01:28:53.637 --> 01:28:58.962
I was surprised to come to Jeju Island. the city is very clean

545
01:28:58.962 --> 01:29:07.245
The city was so clean that I wondered who was cleaning, but our city is also so clean

546
01:29:07.245 --> 01:29:14.178
The reason is that the level of consciousness of the local residents is high, so they do not throw garbage anywhere

547
01:29:14.178 --> 01:29:20.154
 This is because we are practicing activities to make a clean city

548
01:29:20.154 --> 01:29:24.816
This is very important

549
01:29:24.816 --> 01:29:27.500
This is the Zero Waste Center

550
01:29:27.500 --> 01:29:30.065
The building looks like a question mark.

551
01:29:30.065 --> 01:29:33.719
Then what place would be in the dot part of question mark?

552
01:29:33.719 --> 01:29:36.924
Actually, that is a hotel

553
01:29:36.924 --> 01:29:40.283
The locals disagreed with it.

554
01:29:40.283 --> 01:29:42.000
Why did they disagree with it?

555
01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:47.610
“Who in the earth choose the place to stay nearby garbage dumps?” was the reason.

556
01:29:47.610 --> 01:29:50.688
In fact, many people stay in this hotel.

557
01:29:50.688 --> 01:29:59.163
It’s because people who study for environmental problem stay here.

558
01:29:59.163 --> 01:30:05.004
You might be surprised when you see the price of it.

559
01:30:05.004 --> 01:30:12.736
However, they choose to stay rather than thinking like “oh, it’s so expensive that I won’t stay in there”,

560
01:30:12.736 --> 01:30:23.760
but they never think about the price because they chose to learn something here.

561
01:30:23.760 --> 01:30:26.274
As you see the blueprint,

562
01:30:26.274 --> 01:30:33.599
We won the grand price in Japan last year.

563
01:30:33.599 --> 01:30:41.938
Old windows were collected from the citizens, and set into the hotel.

564
01:30:41.938 --> 01:30:47.591
And for example, have you heard of ‘Hikidemono(a present for a visitor)’?

565
01:30:47.591 --> 01:30:53.328
In Japan, after someone got hikidemono, he/she brings it in this place.

566
01:30:53.328 --> 01:31:00.058
Anyone who needs it can take it,

567
01:31:00.058 --> 01:31:06.402
and others like locals can take it for free.

568
01:31:06.402 --> 01:31:12.659
At first, I thought the same, would there be people who would make and take this?

569
01:31:12.659 --> 01:31:15.063
The answer is, “yes, they are”.

570
01:31:15.063 --> 01:31:20.592
There even is a cycle between givers and takers, surprisingly.

571
01:31:20.592 --> 01:31:25.307
Interesting, right? I never thought that this would work well at first,

572
01:31:25.307 --> 01:31:29.679
and there were disagreements for hotel the locals,

573
01:31:29.679 --> 01:31:34.411
and like “will there be any givers or even takers?”

574
01:31:34.411 --> 01:31:40.114
This is the point that the new wave comes.

575
01:31:40.114 --> 01:31:46.104
These days, at zero waste many youngsters come visit

576
01:31:46.104 --> 01:31:50.725
There are a lot of people who is not from Kamikatsu

577
01:31:50.725 --> 01:31:55.127
Hotel…I mean building housing facilities got delayed.

578
01:31:55.127 --> 01:32:00.016
There are about 100 housing facilities, but it’s not enough.

579
01:32:00.016 --> 01:32:11.180
More young people came to Kamikatsu to live.

580
01:32:12.701 --> 01:32:18.002
I am also responsible for national strategy.

581
01:32:18.002 --> 01:32:22.603
I work as a council member for Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

582
01:32:22.603 --> 01:32:30.764
When Abe Shinzo was in the council, he addressed that he would make jobs and housing facilities.

583
01:32:30.764 --> 01:32:34.489
That’s what I’ve suggested to him.

584
01:32:34.489 --> 01:32:40.031
I am suggesting ‘digital country’ as well, but it’s difficult to make it.

585
01:32:40.031 --> 01:32:46.846
I will go on 7th to suggest again.

586
01:32:49.100 --> 01:32:52.168
Next, the mountains.

587
01:32:52.168 --> 01:32:54.637
They are not well arranged.

588
01:32:54.637 --> 01:33:00.117
After landslide, mountains got messed up.

589
01:33:00.117 --> 01:33:03.105
It is a shame

590
01:33:03.105 --> 01:33:08.710
When the precipitation per hour goes over 100ml, a mountain gets collapsed.

591
01:33:08.710 --> 01:33:18.169
By that reason, mountains looks like hills made from asphalts, without any plants or even weeds.

592
01:33:18.169 --> 01:33:24.292
After raining 100ml in an hour, a mountains collapsed

593
01:33:24.292 --> 01:33:26.942
I was determined to solve this problem.

594
01:33:26.942 --> 01:33:33.565
So I began to do something called ‘Irodoriyama’.

595
01:33:33.565 --> 01:33:38.875
I want to revive a mountain and its nature.

596
01:33:38.875 --> 01:33:46.320
The beginning is small, but the end will be great, I think.

597
01:33:47.798 --> 01:33:51.157
Here comes a groundbreaking thing.

598
01:33:51.157 --> 01:33:55.983
We made it to cut cedars

599
01:33:55.983 --> 01:34:03.269
to make papers and cloth.

600
01:34:05.269 --> 01:34:08.531
I love this, because

601
01:34:08.531 --> 01:34:13.954
Japan has too many clothes that are being thrown away

602
01:34:13.954 --> 01:34:21.523
I was surprised, too. I couldn't believe we throw away it this much

603
01:34:22.067 --> 01:34:28.776
Clothes made with wood from the mountains

604
01:34:28.776 --> 01:34:31.814
Are gone if you send it back to the mountains

605
01:34:31.814 --> 01:34:35.274
I think this is really good

606
01:34:35.274 --> 01:34:37.308
I'd like to do it by prefecture (administrative district of Japan)

607
01:34:37.308 --> 01:34:42.184
The mountains of Kyoto use Kyoto trees and Tokyo uses Tokyo trees

608
01:34:42.184 --> 01:34:54.297
It made me think that I want to make clothes using trees collected from various places

609
01:34:54.297 --> 01:35:04.154
Toyota in Tokushima is using envelopes made from wood for their vehicle inspection

610
01:35:04.154 --> 01:35:11.726
If you think about it like this, saying there are no resources

611
01:35:11.726 --> 01:35:16.491
that's impossible. There are

612
01:35:16.491 --> 01:35:24.917
It's not being recognized and is not making good use of it economically

613
01:35:24.917 --> 01:35:31.714
I think this is the biggest cause of local decline

614
01:35:31.714 --> 01:35:35.490
Have confidence and pride in living in the region

615
01:35:35.490 --> 01:35:44.104
And each person carries out their confidence and pride with a place, a role, etc

616
01:35:44.104 --> 01:35:48.398
There were one thing good about COVID

617
01:35:49.038 --> 01:35:55.504
People got into the habit of thinking and acting on their own

618
01:35:55.504 --> 01:35:59.636
One of Local's weaknesses are they are good at what they are given

619
01:35:59.636 --> 01:36:09.637
they don't have the mindset to think about it themselfs and do it like this and that

620
01:36:09.637 --> 01:36:14.504
But for about 40 years in Kamikatsu

621
01:36:14.504 --> 01:36:19.249
There's always something one can do. You can do it because you are you

622
01:36:19.249 --> 01:36:28.490
I think it's a challenge for the sustainable region that one has been continuing to be doing because they can

623
01:36:28.490 --> 01:36:32.252
And there is only one final goal

624
01:36:32.252 --> 01:36:37.870
How to settle young people

625
01:36:37.870 --> 01:36:42.269
And how to get young people to save the community?

626
01:36:42.269 --> 01:36:49.006
Not the size of the population. For example, if there are 2,000 people

627
01:36:49.006 --> 01:36:52.858
I think 700 people each are ideal

628
01:36:52.858 --> 01:36:55.970
It will be 2,100 people

629
01:36:55.970 --> 01:37:02.084
The target is 30% of the elderly, 30%  of the middle and 30% of the young

630
01:37:02.084 --> 01:37:05.764
It's not the size, it's the balance

631
01:37:05.764 --> 01:37:10.769
To keep a good balance

632
01:37:10.769 --> 01:37:14.360
And that is what I want my ultimate goal to be

633
01:37:14.360 --> 01:37:20.005
So we're hiring a lot of young people

634
01:37:20.005 --> 01:37:25.479
If we have a chance, we will host

635
01:37:25.479 --> 01:37:31.414
Kamikatsu, Tokushima, and Osaka Expo

636
01:37:32.903 --> 01:37:38.689
So I hope you come to learn

637
01:37:38.689 --> 01:37:41.003
I'm looking forward to seeing you all

638
01:37:41.003 --> 01:37:42.725
Thank you

639
01:59:53.789 --> 01:59:58.435
In Romania , instead of encouraging a lot of fertility in an autocratic country

640
01:59:58.435 --> 02:00:02.280
They had a orphanage that would collectively accommodate children

641
02:00:02.280 --> 02:00:04.499
Since they manage a lot of children at the orphanage

642
02:00:04.499 --> 02:00:10.941
For the reason, that physical affection causes lack of independence 

643
02:00:10.941 --> 02:00:15.453
children were strictly prohibited of any physical affections 

644
02:00:15.549 --> 02:00:19.589
These children were later all adopted by people around the world

645
02:00:19.589 --> 02:00:25.699
But no matter what country they went to, all the kids would cause problems, were no intelligent 

646
02:00:25.699 --> 02:00:29.206
Or fail to form social relationships and even leads to criminal problems

647
02:00:29.206 --> 02:00:35.529
Psychologist say that it's a problem that occurs when attachments are not formed at a very young age

648
02:00:35.529 --> 02:00:41.753
When they form an attachment, depending on how you look at yourself and others

649
02:00:41.753 --> 02:00:45.003
It creates the adult attachment type that I mentioned earlier

650
02:00:45.041 --> 02:00:52.549
When you look at the world and accurately look at yourself, then you are able to grow

651
02:00:52.549 --> 02:00:58.649
Adult attachment types are basically formed in the relationship between caregiver when you are a child

652
02:00:58.649 --> 02:01:04.375
However humans can create new attachment types through new social relationships

653
02:01:04.375 --> 02:01:05.825
That is the community

654
02:01:05.825 --> 02:01:13.149
When creating a trusted community, people grow from unstable attachment types to stable attachment types

655
02:01:13.149 --> 02:01:18.964
Google has researched which team would perform the best

656
02:01:18.964 --> 02:01:22.149
It’s a project called Aristotle

657
02:01:22.149 --> 02:01:28.879
All teams have in common as a result of this project is that the commonality of all teams that perform well 

658
02:01:28.879 --> 02:01:35.139
is whether they have psychological stability or who they can feel comfortable with

659
02:01:35.139 --> 02:01:41.809
Psychological stability is the first crucial key point to form a new community

660
02:01:42.013 --> 02:01:46.459
After community needs are fulfilled, the next thing we need to solve is the need for safety

661
02:01:46.580 --> 02:01:49.730
Only the people who has been recognized can create innovation

662
02:01:49.730 --> 02:01:54.120
However first thing we need to overcome in our desire for recognition is the stability of the batter

663
02:01:54.320 --> 02:02:00.605
When we were young, we were recognized when our parents complimented us

664
02:02:00.605 --> 02:02:05.955
Therefore we think we can satisfy our necessary material and emotional exhaustion

665
02:02:06.009 --> 02:02:10.927
That is why we believe parents' needs are our own needs

666
02:02:10.927 --> 02:02:15.999
The moment one start to feel conscious about how others perceive them

667
02:02:15.999 --> 02:02:19.401
Then one's self-esteem will collapse 

668
02:02:19.414 --> 02:02:25.649
I’d like to briefly talk about how self-esteem breakdowns affect innovation

669
02:02:25.649 --> 02:02:28.999
There is a child who is mathematically smart

670
02:02:28.999 --> 02:02:34.049
However, the kid is worried that if they get the question wrong they will get in trouble at home

671
02:02:34.100 --> 02:02:36.599
While the other child is not so mathematically smart

672
02:02:36.599 --> 02:02:40.099
However, the kid likes to find the answers to new questions

673
02:02:40.109 --> 02:02:44.299
When we ask these two kids to choose their favorite math question

674
02:02:44.599 --> 02:02:51.199
The first kid who is scared of being told by his parents will choose a question that they can answer 

675
02:02:51.229 --> 02:02:54.299
Where else the second kid who likes to answer new questions

676
02:02:54.299 --> 02:02:58.099
Will choose a question that they think it’s a challenge for them

677
02:02:58.099 --> 02:03:00.759
As the time goes by, who do you think will be better in mathematics

678
02:03:00.759 --> 02:03:06.549
Obviously, the kid who likes the challenge themselves 

679
02:03:06.549 --> 02:03:14.035
We call this a fixed set of minds, the first time that innate competence is important and the outcome is important

680
02:03:14.048 --> 02:03:20.014
We call growing mindset when you believe your efforts will change yourself

681
02:03:20.779 --> 02:03:23.969
Stanford University has published a study

682
02:03:23.969 --> 02:03:26.849
on how people with these two mindsets live

683
02:03:26.849 --> 02:03:31.187
Of course, by post mortem effort rather than by one’s innate ability

684
02:03:31.187 --> 02:03:36.387
People who believe that they have changed themselves have been able to create happier people and growth

685
02:03:36.739 --> 02:03:40.849
If you want to have this growing mind set

686
02:03:40.849 --> 02:03:45.599
Supporting the procedure rather than the result is needed

687
02:03:47.018 --> 02:03:50.551
One more thing is that this cheering system is responsible for this role,

688
02:03:50.551 --> 02:03:56.126
When a person grows up, it’s comfortable to stay still and when you try something new, you will fall into fear

689
02:03:56.126 --> 02:04:01.729
When you overcome this fear and make your own ways

690
02:04:01.729 --> 02:04:06.155
This person can make new creativity said the Psychologists

691
02:04:06.155 --> 02:04:12.859
People with low self-esteem will give up instantly and return to the safe zone

692
02:04:12.859 --> 02:04:18.466
Therefore when you want to learn new stuff and enter the era of growth, you will first need to overcome the land of fear

693
02:04:18.466 --> 02:04:23.659
At Harvard University, they call it GRIT

694
02:04:23.659 --> 02:04:27.849
When you feel happy after trying new things

695
02:04:27.859 --> 02:04:32.364
When you are able to recover yourself from failure

696
02:04:32.364 --> 02:04:36.664
People who work for their dreams on long terms will eventually end up well

697
02:04:36.664 --> 02:04:38.799
Third method is metacognition

698
02:04:38.799 --> 02:04:43.499
Metacognition is cognition on  top of cognition

699
02:04:43.519 --> 02:04:48.079
Then I think it will mean looking at my cognition from a higher place

700
02:04:48.079 --> 02:04:55.459
Maslow saw that the biggest characteristic of the person who achieved self-realization was that he looked at others and the world objectively

701
02:04:55.459 --> 02:04:59.676
He described it as non-cognitive, the same concept that psychologists have recently talked about as metacognitive

702
02:04:59.676 --> 02:05:05.014
It refers to the ability to see yourself from the perspective of the world, not from your own perspective

703
02:05:06.008 --> 02:05:12.000
How this metacognition occurs is that metacognition occurs mainly when explaining something to someone

704
02:05:12.000 --> 02:05:14.113
So the learning methods need to be changed

705
02:05:14.113 --> 02:05:19.498
Metacognition does not occur only by injecting existing knowledge. Metacognition occurs 

706
02:05:19.498 --> 02:05:22.289
When you understand your thoughts, discuss each other and create new things

707
02:05:22.289 --> 02:05:26.414
And metacognition holders are people who have a virtuous cycle of implementation perspective

708
02:05:26.414 --> 02:05:29.998
That makes plans, monitors their implementation processes, and reevaluates their subsequent content

709
02:05:29.998 --> 02:05:36.598
And reintroduces them into their implementation

710
02:05:36.799 --> 02:05:41.348
These people are very good at planning, execution, emotional control

711
02:05:41.348 --> 02:05:44.398
And maintaining social relationships with others

712
02:05:44.457 --> 02:05:53.001
Finally, the sense of calling. It means the normal distribution of innovation

713
02:05:53.001 --> 02:05:58.964
Innovators create innovations, early adopters embrace them, and consequently the public embrace them

714
02:05:58.964 --> 02:06:04.278
When we understand the characteristics of these innovators, we can raise them

715
02:06:04.278 --> 02:06:07.228
A scholar named Simon Sinek did research on these innovators

716
02:06:07.228 --> 02:06:12.867
Some people judge by purpose, some people judge by process

717
02:06:12.867 --> 02:06:16.837
And some judge by specific results that are visible in front of them

718
02:06:16.837 --> 02:06:20.008
Innovators are people who can judge by purpose

719
02:06:20.008 --> 02:06:24.679
This is the world's first digital camera. The digital camera was made by a company called Kodak

720
02:06:24.679 --> 02:06:28.000
But Kodak did not advance this innovation

721
02:06:28.000 --> 02:06:35.018
Why? Kodak thought of itself as a film maker, and this digital camera was a film-free camera

722
02:06:35.018 --> 02:06:40.811
But if Kodak thought it was doing something that would store people's memories and memories

723
02:06:40.811 --> 02:06:45.661
I think it would have been very welcoming and pushing this innovation forward

724
02:06:45.661 --> 02:06:49.591
So innovators have a calling. Through this calling

725
02:06:49.591 --> 02:06:55.991
They shape their lives through the process of discovering and solving related problems so that people can live better lives

726
02:06:56.298 --> 02:07:00.769
Now let's go back to the main point on of how to create innovative talent

727
02:07:01.034 --> 02:07:06.234
First, you have to think about how to meet the low-level needs

728
02:07:06.234 --> 02:07:08.248
We need to put resources into it

729
02:07:08.434 --> 02:07:14.279
This is what Europe calls for a youth guarantee system

730
02:07:14.279 --> 02:07:17.248
That guarantees society the entire process of young people entering society

731
02:07:17.379 --> 02:07:20.230
And the second is project-based learning

732
02:07:20.230 --> 02:07:25.832
Instead of injecting knowledge into young people, you can create metacognition

733
02:07:25.832 --> 02:07:32.632
Through the process of forming new projects and actually executing them with a way to find and implement what you want to do

734
02:07:32.632 --> 02:07:34.924
Our curriculum is a six-month process in which everything is organized into discussions

735
02:07:34.924 --> 02:07:39.174
And we create new things through discussions

736
02:07:39.174 --> 02:07:41.079
And finally, the community

737
02:07:41.179 --> 02:07:46.229
These processes are possible when you go beyond difficulty, fear, and pain

738
02:07:46.229 --> 02:07:51.440
Because new things are difficult. To get over it, we need people who support each other

739
02:07:51.440 --> 02:07:56.351
Innovation can overcome adversity without being frustrated when there are people who support it

740
02:07:56.351 --> 02:08:03.301
A community that learns and executes these things together is called COP

741
02:08:03.301 --> 02:08:07.604
As mentioned earlier, Jeju Island's Greater Tomorrow Center is an institution

742
02:08:07.604 --> 02:08:10.298
That guarantees opportunities for young people

743
02:08:10.298 --> 02:08:15.199
Helps young people to have innovative project-based capabilities, and further forms a community. Thank you

744
02:08:23.008 --> 02:08:25.594
Okay, let's have the next presenter

745
02:08:25.598 --> 02:08:33.048
This is Yuki Kuwabara, the CEO of Kumiki Project Co., Ltd

746
02:08:33.326 --> 02:08:36.782
Hello everyone, I am Kuwabara from Kumiki Project

747
02:08:37.022 --> 02:08:43.245
I'm very happy to talk about the Kumiki project here today

748
02:08:43.245 --> 02:08:48.495
First, I'll tell you how the project is going

749
02:08:48.495 --> 02:08:56.231
This picture is from Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, Japan in 2011

750
02:08:58.211 --> 02:09:05.114
Our Company was founded in Rikuzentakata city and continues to do business to this day.

751
02:09:06.138 --> 02:09:11.245
Most of the villages were wiped out after the Tsunami
 

752
02:09:11.245 --> 02:09:14.231
There was a Shrine before

753
02:09:14.231 --> 02:09:21.554
The small tree that we see on the right side of the Shrine

754
02:09:21.554 --> 02:09:28.630
is called 'the miracle tree.' There was a Forest with seventy thousand trees nearby the Rikuzentakata shore 

755
02:09:28.630 --> 02:09:35.278
From there, 6999 trees flowed into the village and returned to the sea 

756
02:09:35.278 --> 02:09:42.502
Many people lost their lives, yet a single tree remained and since then, people have called this tree 'the miracle Tree' 

757
02:09:45.214 --> 02:09:54.787
The damages from Tsunami were huge, and it has been over 10 years but we started from there

758
02:09:55.570 --> 02:09:59.366
I'd like to explain the project that we started

759
02:09:59.366 --> 02:10:03.899
To begin with, we started with the cedar block

760
02:10:05.356 --> 02:10:14.735
At that time, everything flowed away, and I wanted to say that we, with local residents, were able to start 

761
02:10:16.553 --> 02:10:24.524
on our own, so we made a meeting place by using cedar blocks. 

762
02:10:26.297 --> 02:10:31.355
This place is called the Imaizumi meeting place 'Agarasee'

763
02:10:33.470 --> 02:10:36.538
We stack the blocks together

764
02:10:37.459 --> 02:10:43.682
We built this building for two days with 50 local residents. 

765
02:10:45.000 --> 02:10:55.614
It was very memorable for me to see the residents and non-residents building this together

766
02:10:55.614 --> 02:11:01.992
There are many cases of conflicts between people with different opinions when it comes to re-building the village

767
02:11:01.992 --> 02:11:11.430
But everyone became friendly by working together

768
02:11:11.964 --> 02:11:15.917
and since the village have this meeting place after losing everything

769
02:11:17.300 --> 02:11:25.416
The hope for the future started such as preparing for the village festival , Mother's cooking class, and so on

770
02:11:26.312 --> 02:11:29.234
This is the first project we did since we were founded

771
02:11:30.327 --> 02:11:38.249
Since then, we were able to build the community center and we were considering what can be next, and then we started,

772
02:11:38.249 --> 02:11:45.490
same as with Rikuzentakata, the cedar I mentioned earlier is a Japanese tree 

773
02:11:45.490 --> 02:11:50.838
We challenged ourselves to build furnitures with cedar

774
02:11:50.838 --> 02:11:54.481
Cedar is easy to get scratch since it's very soft

775
02:11:54.481 --> 02:12:00.308
They say it does not fit with furniture since even fingernails can make a scratch 

776
02:12:00.308 --> 02:12:05.530
and when we were thinking about how to use these cedars for the furniture

777
02:12:05.530 --> 02:12:09.695
we decided to make it as a kit 

778
02:12:09.695 --> 02:12:14.348
This is the kit we made with the furniture craftsman we were working with

779
02:12:16.255 --> 02:12:27.916
We created it with the intention of making a half-finished product, not a finished product that can be made by putting parts together. 

780
02:12:28.737 --> 02:12:31.174
This picture looks good enough 

781
02:12:31.174 --> 02:12:32.823
but we didn't make any sales

782
02:12:34.312 --> 02:12:40.001
There were people who would purchase if we say the money is used to rebuild the village but it was not enough for a business

783
02:12:40.001 --> 02:12:44.612
and we started thinking about how to make this known to people

784
02:12:44.612 --> 02:12:49.642
while thinking, we made many different types of kits such as planter kits, 

785
02:12:50.925 --> 02:12:57.197
It's a desk, we started to make much bigger items

786
02:12:57.197 --> 02:13:03.625
and how could I explain it... decorating the balcony 

787
02:13:03.625 --> 02:13:12.172
When these kits are piled up, there are a lot of parts and we were able to make a place by using it

788
02:13:12.172 --> 02:13:17.438
When someone wants to open a small shop but doesn't have the big budget for it, 

789
02:13:17.438 --> 02:13:20.400
they can use the kit

790
02:13:20.400 --> 02:13:25.223
For example, we have a kit ready for obtaining permission to open a restaurant 

791
02:13:25.223 --> 02:13:36.201
We do such a business that can reduce the cost, and build a store with locals, without architects. 

792
02:13:37.373 --> 02:13:45.150
Like this indoors, we try to use the kit as much as we can to make an office space. 

793
02:13:45.150 --> 02:13:54.975
Not just purchasing the final goods, but by using the kit, we can have the tables like this. 

794
02:13:56.216 --> 02:14:06.614
We continued to study not to ruin the design or quality of the space by using the kit as a furniture

795
02:14:06.614 --> 02:14:14.701
We are the company that makes the cost reduced in a short time and creates a participatory space

796
02:14:14.701 --> 02:14:22.142
When we make an office for a company, the employees make the office 

797
02:14:22.142 --> 02:14:29.214
by using a kit that was produced in the same village

798
02:14:31.433 --> 02:14:39.258
Another characteristic of our business is that we focused on conducting workshops and leadership training

799
02:14:39.258 --> 02:14:44.069
This is the first step of the workshop

800
02:14:44.069 --> 02:14:49.809
and kindly explaining the material description, how to use the tool, and the procedure to proceed

801
02:14:49.809 --> 02:14:54.977
It’s because I told you earlier that cedar is soft so it can be easily scratched

802
02:14:55.974 --> 02:15:01.663
The fact that the cedar is soft and easily scarred means that there is a lot of air

803
02:15:01.663 --> 02:15:11.866
which means heat is easily transmitted, making it useful for winter just like that there are a lot of pros

804
02:15:11.866 --> 02:15:20.879
If rumors spread that industrial products do not get hurt easily, do not get dirty easily and it is fast, cheap, and convenient, it'll be hard

805
02:15:20.879 --> 02:15:27.174
So, during the workshop, we have kindly explained about the cedar

806
02:15:28.989 --> 02:15:33.028
There are many people who become leaders

807
02:15:33.028 --> 02:15:39.846
Some people are originally carpenters or some because they like to interact 

808
02:15:39.846 --> 02:15:45.200
It’s natural for carpenters to do what craftsmen do perfectly

809
02:15:45.200 --> 02:15:54.106
How can a person who has lived in a world where they are scolded if they fails to do so conveying the knowledge they have been doing 

810
02:15:54.106 --> 02:16:01.856
Even though he only cut a bit of the wood and they were cheering for him

811
02:16:01.856 --> 02:16:05.478
Some housewives who like DIY become leaders

812
02:16:06.777 --> 02:16:15.864
The number of leaders from all over the country has increased and workshops are being held in Akita in north and Kagoshima in the south

813
02:16:21.714 --> 02:16:29.976
They started out with a furniture kit but now they paint and put on plaster

814
02:16:29.976 --> 02:16:32.912
Lastly, let me briefly introduce the area

815
02:16:32.912 --> 02:16:38.694
I’m told that DIY doesn’t make a good space but that’s not going to happen

816
02:16:38.694 --> 02:16:44.057
These were all made by them and really you can build better space than you think

817
02:16:44.057 --> 02:16:45.967
Such as creating a space with a Koagari (a Japanese space that’s slightly higher than the floor)

818
02:16:46.964 --> 02:16:51.488
This is an old, neglected empty house in the area and it took 5 days

819
02:16:51.488 --> 02:16:56.690
From the dismantling, we worked together to make floors, plaster and furniture

820
02:16:59.250 --> 02:17:01.250
And also to make the wood deck

821
02:17:04.844 --> 02:17:06.601
Even inside, with the residents

822
02:17:08.320 --> 02:17:11.631
I’d like to introduce something funny before finsihing my speech

823
02:17:11.631 --> 02:17:15.645
This is the office for orphanage

824
02:17:15.645 --> 02:17:19.013
They wanted to a jungle theme

825
02:17:19.013 --> 02:17:21.950
We wondering how to make this jungle themed 

826
02:17:21.950 --> 02:17:29.083
We bought a large number of fake plants from IKEA and some of cedar were made together using live plants

827
02:17:30.912 --> 02:17:34.465
Hanging vines to look real

828
02:17:34.465 --> 02:17:38.527
Plants on the right are fake

829
02:17:38.527 --> 02:17:41.857
Finally, it’s a jungle

830
02:17:43.142 --> 02:17:48.055
It’s our company’s job to make these things together in different places

831
02:17:50.150 --> 02:17:56.249
The most important thing is, actually this photo was taken when we completed the first ever kit 

832
02:17:56.249 --> 02:18:04.606
coming back to the main purpose, it gives you time where you appreciate it

833
02:18:04.606 --> 02:18:10.631
It's just our first meeting hall, to build something together creates bond and attachment to it

834
02:18:10.631 --> 02:18:15.872
I want to see this from all over the country

835
02:18:17.290 --> 02:18:21.474
Even for the first-timer, it's easy to get close with everyone

836
02:18:21.474 --> 02:18:32.082
For someone who wants to build a small store with the help of the residents, either they revisit the place as they made it

837
02:18:32.082 --> 02:18:42.150
I think it's the result of the workshop to help people feel something you can't get from just buying 

838
02:18:43.921 --> 02:18:50.241
I’ll end with a picture of the Rikuzentakata assembly hall

839
02:18:50.241 --> 02:18:54.147
Stacking up the blocks as you can see in the picture

840
02:18:56.599 --> 02:19:00.298
From child to adults

841
02:19:02.341 --> 02:19:07.739
Those natural smiles stacking up

842
02:19:07.739 --> 02:19:14.629
We are focusing on expanding our attachment to space and the possibility of a place by creating it together

843
02:19:14.629 --> 02:19:15.960
Thank you all for listening

844
02:19:16.379 --> 02:19:20.774
We will introduce you the next speaker

845
02:19:20.908 --> 02:19:24.308
I wonder what the next topic would be

846
02:19:24.379 --> 02:19:31.019
Representative Megumi and Forest Kindergarten, Sado Hironori

847
02:19:33.594 --> 02:19:35.254
Please start

848
02:19:35.254 --> 02:19:36.617
Hello

849
02:19:36.617 --> 02:19:41.183
I’m the main director of Megumi and Forest Kindergarten and Mama Place

850
02:19:41.183 --> 02:19:44.485
Thank you very much for this opportunity today

851
02:19:45.535 --> 02:19:51.564
Other people call me Mr. Hiro

852
02:19:51.564 --> 02:19:54.514
We, my wife and I started this together

853
02:19:54.514 --> 02:19:57.153
My wife and kids are actually here as well

854
02:19:57.153 --> 02:20:08.564
I run a nursery school, and the guardians call me Hiro and Popo, so that I can maintain an equal relationship with them

855
02:20:08.564 --> 02:20:17.459
We are active in an area called Wakayama, which is actually a sister city to Jeju

856
02:20:17.459 --> 02:20:22.335
Like Jeju, tangerines are famous

857
02:20:22.335 --> 02:20:29.668
The city we live in has the sea, old buildings, culture, etc

858
02:20:29.668 --> 02:20:37.883
In the south of Wakayama by maintaining various cultures such as historical festivals

859
02:20:37.883 --> 02:20:46.016
like fishing tuna, harvesting grapes, surfing and etc young people come down to Wakayama

860
02:20:46.016 --> 02:20:52.613
We also moved from Osaka and run a orphanage 

861
02:20:52.613 --> 02:21:01.591
and it's also an area where a lot if happening 

862
02:21:02.859 --> 02:21:12.189
With these helpless children, my wife and I 

863
02:21:13.404 --> 02:21:21.715
We thought of providing a place where helpless kids or 

864
02:21:21.715 --> 02:21:29.828
parents who are not confident about raising their kids can be welcomed and so we created a place called 'Mama Place'

865
02:21:29.828 --> 02:21:33.483
I have two businesses

866
02:21:33.483 --> 02:21:38.289
If I were to tell you one thing that's important

867
02:21:38.289 --> 02:21:43.524
Is to create a place where you know you're important and building a place where you can express that

868
02:21:43.524 --> 02:21:49.243
Still in Japan, for the reasons of  being a man, woman, eldest son, eldest daughter

869
02:21:49.243 --> 02:22:03.397
People suffer from prejudice without realizing it, and so do guardians and children

870
02:22:03.397 --> 02:22:10.202
In order to be freed from such prejudice, especially parents, not because they are parents

871
02:22:10.202 --> 02:22:14.785
Parents want to make time to find themselves, and children learn about themselves

872
02:22:14.785 --> 02:22:23.602
I'm spending my days thinking that if I cherish these things, my life will be enriched

873
02:22:23.602 --> 02:22:29.745
As a new parenting business, apprenticeship focused on conversation

874
02:22:29.745 --> 02:22:35.919
And the field of parenting. There are a lot of activities in Japan, too, but mostly indoors

875
02:22:35.919 --> 02:22:47.126
I run a childcare center with mothers in the forest that makes us feel good in nature

876
02:22:47.126 --> 02:22:51.665
Another is a private nursery, From Megumi and Forest Kindergarten

877
02:22:51.665 --> 02:23:02.500
Three keywords are important: choice, freedom, and environment, and we're conserving under the theme of living their own life

878
02:23:03.825 --> 02:23:08.932
And we are stubborn in Wakayama

879
02:23:08.932 --> 02:23:14.668
As you can see in the picture, it's surrounded by mountains and next to it is the sea

880
02:23:14.668 --> 02:23:20.785
There's a place where the river is beautiful and fireflies fly around or fish is easily caught

881
02:23:20.785 --> 02:23:26.741
and then there are fields that produces a lot of crops

882
02:23:26.741 --> 02:23:36.006
Not only tangerines but also apples, mangoes are harvested and because of the severe temperature difference, most crops are collected here

883
02:23:36.006 --> 02:23:42.380
I'm doing business with the desire to continue this culture to children and adults

884
02:23:42.380 --> 02:23:46.894
In the main business, at Megumi and Forest Kindergarten

885
02:23:46.894 --> 02:23:57.909
we got the idea from a forest kindergarten in Denmark in the 1950s, to raise kids in the nature

886
02:23:57.909 --> 02:24:04.182
I know that there are about 700 places in Korea as well

887
02:24:04.182 --> 02:24:09.511
Thousands of people are doing the same thing in Japan, too

888
02:24:09.511 --> 02:24:14.961
How this forest kindergarten is different from ordinary kindergartens is

889
02:24:14.961 --> 02:24:24.004
Children have time to express the current state in their own words through the morning inquiry

890
02:24:24.004 --> 02:24:27.342
They even have time where they spend it together

891
02:24:27.342 --> 02:24:32.524
They also have time to either their activities or we choose it for them

892
02:24:32.524 --> 02:24:37.605
such as catching buys, role plays, exploring and etc

893
02:24:37.605 --> 02:24:41.608
It continues after lunch

894
02:24:41.608 --> 02:24:49.076
And there is a time when we follow some of the kid's suggestions 

895
02:24:49.076 --> 02:24:53.613
So this is how we're spending the time with the kids

896
02:24:53.613 --> 02:24:58.927
The reason why we're working in a natural environment is

897
02:24:58.927 --> 02:25:09.770
developing non-cognitive skills, an important skill for IQ is drawing attention from all over the world

898
02:25:09.770 --> 02:25:16.985
And it is understood that those skills are best grown in the natural environment and we are seeing the result ourselves

899
02:25:16.985 --> 02:25:25.557
But that's not to say writing, numbers and English are not important when it comes with IQ

900
02:25:25.557 --> 02:25:32.965
That's important, but if you don't have roots, your motivation, like what you likes, wants to do, or wants to learn, doesn't grow

901
02:25:32.965 --> 02:25:38.769
We're working on growing the roots that are the foundation

902
02:25:38.769 --> 02:25:43.062
As a matter of time, to tell you one thing

903
02:25:43.062 --> 02:25:48.544
On a rainy day, this kid is 3 years old

904
02:25:48.544 --> 02:25:54.453
He doesn't look so happy. He looks tired of the rain

905
02:25:54.453 --> 02:26:04.293
He's forced to wear a raincoat and changed his mind from annoying to inevitable

906
02:26:04.293 --> 02:26:10.269
It changes from "What should I do?" to "Let's do this."

907
02:26:10.269 --> 02:26:20.686
He played in the puddle in the rain for 10-15 minutes and played another game

908
02:26:20.686 --> 02:26:28.237
I think this way of thinking will help in real life

909
02:26:28.237 --> 02:26:32.694
Even in catching bugs, he thought about how to catch them

910
02:26:32.694 --> 02:26:38.245
They tell butterflies that there are flowers here

911
02:26:38.245 --> 02:26:43.335
Experiencing trying and failing in the daily life

912
02:26:43.335 --> 02:26:49.019
It doesn't just work only in nature

913
02:26:49.019 --> 02:26:57.674
All the pictures from before are from a forest park run by the prefecture

914
02:26:57.674 --> 02:27:01.494
The elderly fixes things

915
02:27:01.494 --> 02:27:07.153
The picture on the left is to make a wooden bench for our students

916
02:27:07.153 --> 02:27:12.368
Kids watch the process of making it

917
02:27:12.368 --> 02:27:17.886
Not only the forest, but professional chefs

918
02:27:17.886 --> 02:27:24.511
To experience setting fire together with people of various skills

919
02:27:24.511 --> 02:27:31.074
They share knowledge of the forest or create sculptures with art experts

920
02:27:31.074 --> 02:27:34.612
Use the body to express it with the yoga teacher

921
02:27:34.612 --> 02:27:37.626
Or play with a professional boxer

922
02:27:37.626 --> 02:27:42.808
they get to meet experts in various fields 

923
02:27:42.808 --> 02:27:45.276
especially we find the food sector important 

924
02:27:45.276 --> 02:27:51.567
The two pictures above is going to the farm to buy vegetables twice a month

925
02:27:51.567 --> 02:28:01.250
Children ask their parents how to enjoy the vegetables they brought home

926
02:28:01.250 --> 02:28:08.927
And twice a month, by buying and eating the lunch box made by those vegetables

927
02:28:08.927 --> 02:28:18.849
There are many children who don't like vegetables, but they also try various foods

928
02:28:18.849 --> 02:28:26.044
And while working in the fields, seeing the crops grow

929
02:28:26.044 --> 02:28:33.078
It's not an event to cook and eat by oneself. But more of a long term

930
02:28:33.078 --> 02:28:45.315
learning how long it takes to for crops to grow

931
02:28:45.315 --> 02:28:51.133
by experiencing various types of farming they even get to try the strawberries 

932
02:28:51.133 --> 02:28:55.460
The most important thing is to prepare enough time and space

933
02:28:55.460 --> 02:29:02.995
and through that kids learn various types of failures and successes 

934
02:29:02.995 --> 02:29:09.372
And seeing that parents and guardians could get inspired 

935
02:29:09.372 --> 02:29:16.855
they too think of expressing and challenging themselves 

936
02:29:16.855 --> 02:29:23.064
Change of attitude towards the kids is one of the results 

937
02:29:23.064 --> 02:29:27.317
is one of the things we intended. So something like that happened as well

938
02:29:27.317 --> 02:29:35.101
So we are not only active in the forest from now on

939
02:29:35.101 --> 02:29:40.209
But having a base in the city. For example, having various

940
02:29:40.209 --> 02:29:45.775
kids like the ones who are not well to have the chance to visit the forest 

941
02:29:45.775 --> 02:29:54.625
and connecting through fields and etc, so this is what I am planning at the moment

942
02:29:54.625 --> 02:29:59.452
Wakayama, a provincial city, is a city of 350,000 people

943
02:29:59.452 --> 02:30:12.751
I hope this can be one of the model that will help children grow their future for the next 10, to 20 years

944
02:30:12.751 --> 02:30:15.070
That's all. Thank you for listening

945
02:30:15.023 --> 02:30:23.034
The next theme is the creation of a village of Kumagawa Inn created by a private company

946
02:30:23.038 --> 02:30:30.519
Let's give a big round of applause to Tokioka Sota the CEO of Dekita Co., Ltd. 

947
02:30:32.302 --> 02:30:37.069
It's going to be the last announcement, about 10 minutes

948
02:30:39.366 --> 02:30:42.046
I'm Tokioka of Dekita Co., Ltd

949
02:30:42.046 --> 02:30:50.593
I'm from Fukui Prefecture, in the red, which is an underdeveloped village just like Yokoi's village

950
02:30:50.593 --> 02:30:58.124
In terms of population, Kumagaya is a village with a population of about 400 people

951
02:31:02.073 --> 02:31:10.238
This is a very small population, and an important point is that tourism is weak. Visitors from abroad ranks second lowest

952
02:31:10.238 --> 02:31:17.094
It is an area where foreign visitors do not visit, and tourism has not developed to this day

953
02:31:17.094 --> 02:31:23.979
It is a very beautiful place with tangled sea-like landscape

954
02:31:23.979 --> 02:31:28.815
There are also numerous waterfalls alongside with many mountains

955
02:31:28.815 --> 02:31:36.846
Moreover, there are many beautiful areas in the Fukui Region with multiple beaches between different oceans

956
02:31:36.846 --> 02:31:42.199
One characteristic as many of you already know, is that it is close to Kyoto

957
02:31:42.199 --> 02:31:48.431
Boats will come in from the inland and the port was in Obama City

958
02:31:48.431 --> 02:31:54.792
And on the way to Kyoto, at Shukubamachi there is a company

959
02:32:01.212 --> 02:32:07.630
Ships and horses was able to pass through until this region, but afterward towards Kyoto

960
02:32:07.630 --> 02:32:17.516
From then on, only people were able to pass through, developing the place into a loading dock

961
02:32:17.516 --> 02:32:19.242
The region looks something like this

962
02:32:20.485 --> 02:32:28.456
As you can see there are beautiful rivers flowing through the area

963
02:32:28.456 --> 02:32:34.193
The 1km village has about 140 houses

964
02:32:34.193 --> 02:32:38.664
But about forty, or one fourth of these houses are vacant

965
02:32:38.664 --> 02:32:47.109
The aging population is about 55.7%, which is extremely low

966
02:32:47.109 --> 02:32:57.416
I am from the countryside and after graduating from a university in Tokyo, I founded a company and worked on various architectural development projects

967
02:32:57.416 --> 02:33:08.922
But 4 years ago I came back to my hometown with a business plan

968
02:33:08.922 --> 02:33:17.037
The very first thing I did was rent the biggest vacant house in the village and transform it into a sharing office

969
02:33:17.037 --> 02:33:23.906
It was a huge makeover, and there are now four businesses at our office

970
02:33:25.052 --> 02:33:30.450
Besides us, these are trailer experts and designers

971
02:33:30.450 --> 02:33:33.347
And this is a cafe that requested a branch from Tokyo

972
02:33:33.347 --> 02:33:37.494
They opened a cafe at a place where they can roast coffee

973
02:33:37.494 --> 02:33:44.567
We moved our headquarters to this area, and we are currently striving to develop hotels and other accommodations

974
02:33:44.567 --> 02:33:49.238
If you look at the top left corner, there is a hotel named 
‘Yao-Kumagawa’

975
02:33:49.238 --> 02:33:59.583
These are the gods of Japan. We named the hotel after the Japanese folktale of the existence of many gods

976
02:34:00.909 --> 02:34:09.268
We are renting many vacant houses

977
02:34:09.268 --> 02:34:17.043
and are rebuilding these old houses from ground up

978
02:34:17.043 --> 02:34:23.188
This is the first hotel with 3 bedrooms

979
02:34:23.188 --> 02:34:26.993
There’s the bathroom area here and the bedroom

980
02:34:27.664 --> 02:34:38.451
The second hotel was also a very big building. We divided the place in half and is currently undergoing construction

981
02:34:38.451 --> 02:34:42.928
Japan is a humid country where wood is easily rotten

982
02:34:42.928 --> 02:34:49.257
Reconstruction takes place from the ground up

983
02:34:49.257 --> 02:34:53.958
So reconstructing old buildings like this takes a lot of time and money

984
02:34:53.958 --> 02:35:00.205
The left room from the entrance has a living-room like this

985
02:35:00.205 --> 02:35:08.311
And the right room was transformed into a kitchen. Upstairs we have a bedroom and a bathroom

986
02:35:08.311 --> 02:35:12.854
And we also rebuilt the front yard to make it more suitable

987
02:35:12.854 --> 02:35:17.971
Out most recent work opened 6 months ago

988
02:35:17.971 --> 02:35:24.537
We also dismantled the insides of this Japanese storage space

989
02:35:24.537 --> 02:35:30.174
The transformed space is being offered on the hospitality market as a room with a fireplace

990
02:35:30.174 --> 02:35:31.812
The room looks like this

991
02:35:34.740 --> 02:35:42.226
Each room has names originating from Japanese wildlife and birds, such as Yamane, Hibari, Hotatsu, and Tsukumi

992
02:35:43.357 --> 02:35:53.756
The check-in counter is in the middle of the village as the stay revolves around the entire village. We provide an explanation of services at the counter

993
02:35:53.756 --> 02:36:03.139
We provide instructions and community guidelines such as no street parking or loud noises before providing guests with the room keys

994
02:36:03.139 --> 02:36:10.706
From here on, guests are free to use area as a country house along with their booked room

995
02:36:10.706 --> 02:36:17.887
We provide dining room services and there are a few patterns to this service

996
02:36:17.887 --> 02:36:26.467
One, the dinner menu is developed by mothers of the village

997
02:36:26.467 --> 02:36:31.784
And the room service is provided at 7:30pm

998
02:36:31.784 --> 02:36:35.166
and local foods are the main dishes of the dinner course

999
02:36:36.137 --> 02:36:40.034
We are trying to give back to the local economy

1000
02:36:40.034 --> 02:36:50.736
When many customers came, about $1,500 to $2,000 were going into the mother's collective profits

1001
02:36:50.736 --> 02:36:55.372
Mothers have nowhere to go and spend money because of COVID-19

1002
02:36:57.096 --> 02:36:59.727
They joked that they might be able to buy a Mercedes

1003
02:36:59.727 --> 02:37:05.627
They also joked that if they received things like this in their Mercedes, it would be a huge success

1004
02:37:05.627 --> 02:37:13.298
We signed a contract with local Italian and Japanese chef. It's a seasonal dish that they bring it to your room

1005
02:37:13.298 --> 02:37:22.874
This is Japanese nabe, summer pork nabe is delivered to the room in this form and set up

1006
02:37:22.874 --> 02:37:29.843
It's originally Japanese style, like a ryokan. It's a service that brings food to your room

1007
02:37:29.843 --> 02:37:33.419
The service is done in the traditional Japanese way

1008
02:37:34.194 --> 02:37:40.417
At first, the cafe provided breakfast, but it wasn't popular

1009
02:37:40.417 --> 02:37:44.118
It's developed so that you can eat it in your room

1010
02:37:44.118 --> 02:37:51.746
These kits are placed in the room, so you can simply cook and eat Oka-yu(Rice porridge)

1011
02:37:51.746 --> 02:37:59.574
Local rice and water are prepared, so you can boil water and eat it

1012
02:38:00.658 --> 02:38:04.017
And this is a workshop experience

1013
02:38:04.017 --> 02:38:11.931
You can cook your own lunch with the leader where the furnace is prepared

1014
02:38:11.931 --> 02:38:23.999
It's a lunch like this, but vegetables and sauce are already prepared, so we can make lunch by simple work

1015
02:38:23.999 --> 02:38:32.113
This is a popular experience for young people in the city, families with children, and foreigners 

1016
02:38:32.113 --> 02:38:37.595
I wanted to create a worldview under the name of "Yaogumagawa"

1017
02:38:37.595 --> 02:38:41.265
We've started selling them

1018
02:38:41.265 --> 02:38:47.913
Developed the originals with local producers and started selling them as their own products

1019
02:38:47.913 --> 02:38:53.839
Fish are also made of sea sets and is sold on the Internet

1020
02:38:53.839 --> 02:39:04.885
We also sells ponzu made with local vinegar shops

1021
02:39:04.885 --> 02:39:14.890
It opened in October with the intention of creating its own food processing store

1022
02:39:14.890 --> 02:39:21.265
With the food processing store we made a new product. We've just started selling it

1023
02:39:21.265 --> 02:39:25.297
There is a local traditional vegetable

1024
02:39:25.297 --> 02:39:27.585
It's a vegetable that's being thrown away

1025
02:39:27.585 --> 02:39:37.195
We've developed mustard for Japanese food using unused vegetable seeds

1026
02:39:38.467 --> 02:39:44.568
This is also an unused arrowroot

1027
02:39:44.568 --> 02:39:51.405
Make tea leaves that you can only make in the summer

1028
02:39:51.405 --> 02:39:57.916
And sell as a arrowroot tea

1029
02:39:59.766 --> 02:40:03.708
I don't know if I can say this in Japanese

1030
02:40:06.001 --> 02:40:11.836
I wrote down about three business points that I felt, while working in the countryside

1031
02:40:11.836 --> 02:40:13.509
The first is the combination

1032
02:40:13.509 --> 02:40:21.124
Each business is small, whether you sell mustard or arrowroot, it's tens of thousands dollars

1033
02:40:21.124 --> 02:40:26.118
It cannot create stable employment, but it is also important to combine

1034
02:40:26.118 --> 02:40:37.837
I thought the combination of  accommodation, meals, and sales using local vegetables created stable employment

1035
02:40:37.837 --> 02:40:42.138
For the same reason, local industries should join in

1036
02:40:42.138 --> 02:40:46.248
As you may have noticed, the attraction itself is branding

1037
02:40:46.248 --> 02:40:55.700
With local industry, commercializing what was originally edible in the area is becoming our branding itself

1038
02:40:55.700 --> 02:40:59.726
Finally, it's about customers

1039
02:40:59.726 --> 02:41:07.380
What value we can offer to the people of the city without having a sense of tourism

1040
02:41:07.380 --> 02:41:12.477
Relaxing, the feeling of belonging to this town is important

1041
02:41:12.477 --> 02:41:20.655
Therefore, not only buying and selling products, but also writing letters or communicating through social medias

1042
02:41:20.655 --> 02:41:30.759
We're trying to promote the area by sending regular tourist brochures such as the Yaokuma News Agency

1043
02:41:31.967 --> 02:41:37.656
During these activities for about five years, 14 vacant houses were re-used

1044
02:41:37.656 --> 02:41:42.889
It's a big deal that 14 houses were reused in a village with 140 houses

1045
02:41:42.889 --> 02:41:45.711
A lot was used

1046
02:41:45.711 --> 02:41:52.360
Among them, 12 houses were occupied again by people who had previously lived

1047
02:41:52.360 --> 02:41:59.820
This is not only because of our role, but also because the town has worked hard to preserve it,

1048
02:41:59.820 --> 02:42:03.333
and now all that was left was having visitors 

1049
02:42:03.333 --> 02:42:10.955
There was an atmosphere that maybe it could difficult if people from other regions was to come or that they'll be too loud

1050
02:42:10.955 --> 02:42:17.694
Changes occurred in the process of the project, and now local residents are opening new stores

1051
02:42:17.694 --> 02:42:22.501
The administration has become easier to proceed with

1052
02:42:22.501 --> 02:42:27.881
So the residents, us, and the administration plan together

1053
02:42:27.881 --> 02:42:38.381
To reorganize the entire village, including trail maintenance and signage maintenance that can only be carried out by the administration

1054
02:42:38.381 --> 02:42:45.161
Lastly, we are working hard to open it next year. In public-private partnerships, the infrastructure is built by the administration

1055
02:42:45.161 --> 02:42:49.394
And the building is built by us

1056
02:42:49.394 --> 02:42:53.687
On the mountain just above the village I showed earlier

1057
02:42:53.687 --> 02:43:03.784
We are planning to build a facility with 12 auto camp facilities, cabins, and six cottages

1058
02:43:03.784 --> 02:43:11.535
At first, it was selected as a Japanese conservation district and tried hard to save the village

1059
02:43:11.535 --> 02:43:16.851
People who returned to their hometown run stores such as accommodations and cafes

1060
02:43:16.851 --> 02:43:22.222
As the atmosphere changed, local people opened stores one after another

1061
02:43:22.222 --> 02:43:25.472
Local administration became easier to move

1062
02:43:25.472 --> 02:43:29.914
And the development of trail routes on the mountain progressed

1063
02:43:29.914 --> 02:43:38.160
Eventually, we reached the stage of renovating the accommodation campsite on the mountain as an additional investment

1064
02:43:38.160 --> 02:43:42.404
As one of the conservation of the village

1065
02:43:42.404 --> 02:43:48.841
The revision of the Cultural Heritage Protection Act in Japan in 2018

1066
02:43:48.841 --> 02:43:51.741
Changed the way the country thinks

1067
02:43:51.741 --> 02:43:57.708
Until now, they only emphasized building preservation

1068
02:43:57.708 --> 02:44:03.949
But now they are talking about utilization

1069
02:44:03.949 --> 02:44:07.369
We hope it will be our first case, and we are working on it

1070
02:44:07.369 --> 02:44:11.292
Especially in our case, it's not only old, but also a village in the mountains

1071
02:44:11.292 --> 02:44:15.424
We are really working to save the village in the mountains

1072
02:44:15.424 --> 02:44:21.664
In addition to simply preserving beautiful buildings, we are trying to save the village

1073
02:44:21.664 --> 02:44:29.630
Thinking that it is important to have a perspective on how to match the mountain and how to decorate the village while saving the mountain

1074
02:44:29.630 --> 02:44:32.687
That's all for the case presentation. Thank you

1075
02:44:32.088 --> 02:44:40.779
Please give a big round of applause to , Zhao Yongzhen an individual activist

1076
02:54:54.033 --> 02:54:59.039
Thank you very much for the presentation

1077
02:54:59.039 --> 02:55:07.898
So far, through global talk, we have been able to discuss various stories

1078
02:55:07.898 --> 02:55:12.048
About regional co-prosperity between regions and cities on various topics

1079
02:55:12.048 --> 02:55:17.743
Thank you to everyone who has listened so far

1080
02:55:17.743 --> 02:55:22.394
and for everyone who made their presentations. Thank you very much
