Kochi! Women! Nomadic Life!<\/strong>

By LUCAS B.B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I\u2019ve been traveling Japan for well over 25 years and with each location there are always creative, kind, and interesting people. However, in Kochi prefecture you\u2019ll find the percentage of \u2018unique\u2019 Japanese people to be higher than anywhere else in the country. In Kochi it\u2019s almost \u2018normal\u2019 to be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kochians are very confident and comfortable with their personal weirdness. Folks from Kochi value a one of a kind person and hence if you\u2019re a bit different in Kochi, in most cases, you\u2019ll fit right in.
Papersky, being a \u2018unique\u2019 magazine, felt very much at home in Kochi – most folks didn\u2019t blink twice when they were confronted with the \u2018Gaikokujin\u2019 editor-in-chief making a magazine about Japan for Japanese people that subtly espouses such ideas as \u2018more leadership for women\u2019, \u2018more importance placed on the outdoors and environment\u2019, \u2018blending the old and new to create a better lifestyle\u2019 and \u2018valuing both local & global cultures\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our \u2018unique\u2019 mission for the Kochi issue was to live for one week as \u2018modern nomads\u2019 hunting and gathering our own food and then to set up camp both Seaside and Mountainside to cook it all up in scrumptious perfection. Our two guests were fishing professional Bun Chan (Ayana Ishikawa) and \u2018traveling chef\u2019 Nao Mikami.
It was important for us to accomplish our mission \u2018Hachikin\u2019 style. \u2018Hachikin’, in Kochi dialect means a strong an independent woman. For this trip our guests were golden \u2018Hachikins\u2019 as were many of the wonderful people we met during our \u2018modern nomadic\u2019 adventures. The path to \u2018modern nomadism\u2019 we feel will no doubt be forged by Japanese women and the result of \u2018modern nomadism\u2019 will be a more sensible lifestyle that combines freedom of movement and time as well as a chance to deeper enjoy our lives on earth via human\u2019s intrinsic desire to hunt and gather. Modern Nomadism is all this while simultaneously living with the modern comforts of transportation, technology, guest houses, local sake, surfboards and a never ending quest to stay curious. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
