Papersky #14 Akita
Nature Walk
Once again in we’re Japan but Northbound this time to explore the lush green landscapes of Akita Prefecture. Our Nature-themed issue takes you on three nature walks and reveals the people behind the pristine landscapes and how they live with and use nature to nourish. We stop by the well-known, locally-centered supermarket Sekiya, visit distilleries rich in history and tradition as well as include a report on ‘Where to find Akita in Tokyo’ in addition to illustrated maps. Our ‘A to B’ ventures through Poland from Zakopane to Zalipie and then Haruomi Hosono reminisces on his rich musical history via his ‘Musical Saucer’ column and Naoki Ishikawa starts his ‘Life Knowledge’ column plus incoming reports from Cairo, Egypt, Ontario, Canada, Perth, Australia, Paris, France, Bhutan, The Aichi Expo and Yokohama, Japan.
