Artist: Hasui Kawase

A bright yellow full moon, screened by shredded cloud, shines down out of a starless night sky and illuminates a small farm in rural Japan. In the foreground, a broad field has been tilled and planted in tidy rows; just beyond, tucked in amongst a stand of trees, a warm light glows in the window of a thatched-roof farmhouse. Nearby, tall wiry pines reach up into the sky.

Title: Mt Fuji from Susono (1952)

Artist: Ito Takahashi

Sunset, looking toward Mount Fuji from a farm in Susono, Shizuoka. In the foreground, trees are bare, waiting for spring. A pair of farmhouses, one with a traditional thatched roof, have been closed up for the evening; warm light glows in their windows. Nearby, rectangular vegetable patches have been sown in tidy rows, but have yet to develop much. Beyond, forests and foothills lead toward a snow-capped Mount Fuji, still shining in a sky turned purple and pink with the setting sun.

Title: Morning in Nishibira, Izu (1953)

Artist: Kawase Hasui

https://www.nippon.com/en/images/i00059/ #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #HasuiKawase #Spring #Satoyama #Izu #Japan

A spring morning on a farm in Izu, Japan. In the foreground, a flooded rice paddy has been seeded with tidy rows of plant shoots; beyond, a path leads between low green shrubs toward a series of traditional thatched-roof buildings. Beyond, the top of a cherry tree in bloom reaches up over the rooftops, while further on, healthy green forests cling to steep hillsides. Above, a few hazy white clouds cross a bright blue sky.

In Japan, a century-long project is underway to monitor fragile ecosystems and track wildlife. What has it uncovered so far? Alarming declines that could shape the future of conservation efforts. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/11/02/wildlife/japan-ecosystem-biodiversity-loss/ #environment #wildlife #environment #climatechange #forests #mountains #coral #saitamaprefecture #satoyama

Dawn breaks over a Japanese mountain village in spring. In the foreground, the early morning light reflects off a flooded rice paddy; beyond, traditional thatched-roof houses are tucked in amongst trees and more fields. Further on, low mountains cross the horizon, reduced to silhouettes by the rising sun; above, streaky clouds are coloured by daybreak, while pale blue sky peeks through

Title: Village in Spring (c.1990s)

Artist: Kawashima Tatsuo

A view of a mountain village in the Japanese countryside, on a spring day. On our left, yellow nanohana flowers screen a view looing down a gently rolling hill toward a large traditional-style thatched roof Japanese farmhouse; beyond, green fields are marked out in a rectangular pattern. Further on, more village houses are scattered along the valley, while tall healthy-looking trees stand close to the fields and march down the side of a nearby mountain. The sky above is overcast, pale and milky white

A view of a farm in the mountains of Japan on a bright spring day. In the foreground, flooded rice paddies have been prepared with new plants, making a regular pattern of evenly-spaced dots across the water. Beyond, a rough road leads toward a traditional Japanese thatched-roof farmhouse and its various outbuildings. A cherry tree standing near the house is in full bloom, its branches loaded with pink blossoms and reaching up higher than the roof of the house. Further on, low nearby mountains are crowded with healthy-looking pine trees, while above, a few hazy clouds hug the mountaintops beneath a bright blue sky

Title: Rice Field in Suizu (1951)

Artist: Toshi Yoshida

https://www.jrpass.com/blog/guide-to-satoyama-japanese-life-in-the-countryside #ShinHanga #ToshiYoshida #Art #Showa #Spring #Satoyama #Japan

A view looking down over flooded terraced rice fields, past trees green with spring, toward the seashore. A small number of little wooden buildings are scattered along the terraces, though no humans are visible. Out over the water, tall sawtoothed mountains cross the horizon from the left-hand side; above, the sky is hazy and indistinct

Title: Rice Planting (1953)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

https://www.nippon.com/en/images/i00059/ #ShinHanga #KasamatsuShiro #Art #Showa #Spring #Farm #Planting #Satoyama #Japan

A view of spring rice planting on a mountain farm in Japan. In the foreground, figures in traditional-style clothing and broad bamboo hats or scarves plant rice shoots in a flooded field. The farm consists of a series of squared-off rice fields, each bordered by an earth embankment, and similar figures work in the other sections: planting rice shoots, or in one case, steering a plow behind a horse. Beyond, a large farmhouse and outbuildings stand on top of a hill, surrounded by scattered trees and overlooking the fields; further on, mist clings to the upper reaches of jagged forested mountains. Above, a few tattered clouds cross a blue sky.

Today on #Day7 of this #COP15 #HistoricalEcology series, a very brief look at Japan's #Satoyama system. I have to admit I only learned of this quite recently, when @BuildSoil mentioned that #StudioGhibli's My Neighbour Totoro was set in a Satoyama landscape. So this is more of a #fandom post - both of Studio Ghibli films (which I love) and of the Satoyama system. 'Satoyama' describes the mountain foothills and arable flat land border zone. Sato (里) means village, and yama (山) hill or mountain.
