I went to Akita for a conference. It was the first Akita experience in my life.

Akita is said to be the most depopulated, but the people who took care of me on this field trip are very positive and creative. It was as if they were enjoying life there to the fullest.

"Sustainable society" can be summed up in one word, but it's important for each of us to enjoy choosing what to sustain, what to create, and what to throw away. It was a new learning for me too.

Thank you very much to all of you. Food and sake were quite delicious!
