From the desire to teach the children about the provenance of food, Yamano-san upped sticks and left for Kisarazu to cultivate rice without using any chemicals. He did so while carrying on his day job as a director of TV programs. Starting out by commuting from Tokyo, he then put down roots and started to utilize the WWOOF system, giving board and lodgings to people who come and help to farm the rice paddies. Showing that rice can be grown without chemicals earned him the respect of the local populace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last\">While cultivating his fertilizer-free rice, he entrusts whatever jobs he can to other farmers in the community. In a future where farmers will need to pool their resources instead of going it alone, the humble rice ball will play an important part. \u201cYou need a strategy in place for when the rice is picked and ready. Rice has the power to link up people with bonds that will never break\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns cols-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/138732789_681177532575324_5470258127440691448_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/138732789_681177532575324_5470258127440691448_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/138732789_681177532575324_5470258127440691448_n-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/138819620_459398941897974_133487838138161205_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/138819620_459398941897974_133487838138161205_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/138819620_459398941897974_133487838138161205_n-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Occupying the southern part of Chiba Prefecture and straddling the Pacific Ocean and Tokyo Bay on three sides, the B\u014ds\u014d Peninsula is a treasure trove of nature and scenic beauty.
