7 Times Down 8 Times Up: Of Transience and Strength in Japan
Japan. The harmonious confluence of the ancient and hyper-modern into one fascinating whole, firmly rooted in tradition but ever hurtling into the future. Regularly pummeled by natural disasters and other crisis, Japan has frequently had to bounce back from adversity. And this led to an ingrained trait of resilience.
This journey takes you into different parts of Japan, ideally in autumn, through various and ways of life the Japanese have adopted, and through connection with nature and people.
From hiking on parts of the Michinoku trail or exploring the northern parts of Japan to spending time in Hokkaido and engaging with the indigenous Ainu to understand their contribution and story within the history of Japan; living with a local Japanese family on the North-East Coast of Japan to understand how they stay resilient in the face of natural disasters, meeting with and learning from the guardians of the mountains to understanding the ways of the Samurai, on this journey you will discover how celebrating the impermanence of things and the transient nature of beauty, makes a people stronger.
