Since ancient times, in Japan where myriad gods dwell,
every creature, every stone, even wind and rain—
all were believed to carry a soul, and were met with reverence,
as beings with presence and will.

Mokichi Okada, who gave voice to Natural Agriculture, once said:
“Nature teaches us everything.”

When we regard the soil and crops as living souls with feelings and intent,
and offer them our gratitude and love, they respond—
with blessings as boundless as the sky.

A world where life honors life.
This quiet, radiant harmony is the Art of Agriculture,
and the way of being we hope to carry forward.
