(英文版) 地球を救う江戸先進のエコロジー - Just Enough: Lessons in Living Green from Traditional Japan本pdfダウンロード - 内容紹介 Just Enough is a book of stories and sketches, depictions of vanished ways of life told from the point of view of a contemporary observer. It tells how people lived in Japan some two hundred years ago during the late Edo period, when traditional technology and culture were at the peak of development, just before the country opened itself to the West and joined the ranks of the industrialized nations. Only a few centuries earlier, the country had been on the brink of disaster, its environment pushed to the edge through overly aggressive use of natural resources. But the government and people overcame many of the identical problems that confront us today--issues of energy, water, materials, food, and population—and forged from these formidable challenges a society that was conservation-minded, waste-free, well-housed and well-fed, and economically robust, and that has bequeathed to us admirable and enduring standards of design and beauty. レビュー "Just Enough is valuable as a mentality, as a framework for acting in the world..." --Worldchanging.com"Brown's elegant and accessible text with its lucid illustrations make this a wonderful companion for students and professionals in the fields of design, civil engineering, farming, construction, or Japanese history, or any person interested in leaving a more delicate footprint on the planet." --ForeWord Magazin"Just Enough should be required reading for anyone who wants to help make today's world more sustainable. Read it, please." --Sarah Susanka, Architect and author of The Not So Big House series and The Not So Big Life"Azby Brown's book, using excellent examples from Edo-period Japan, proves that we have surrounded ourselves with many things that we don't need to live sustainably and happily. This is an important warning for the future, one that should make us all stop and think." --Shigeru Ban, Architect, recipient of the Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture, designer of the award-winning Hanover Pavillion for Expo 2000"Truly an eye-opener. Brown takes us behind the scenes, revealing the complex and ingenious techniques that put Japanese traditional life in harmony with nature." --Alex Kerr, Author, Dogs and Demons, Lost Japan"Just Enough offers an interesting and engaging perspective on Edo Japan for those who enjoy reading about cultural history, alongside sustainable ideas relevant today." --Green LA Girl"I read Brown's book with relish, and at the end of it felt that my mindset had shifted, from feeling that I never have enough, to feeling that I undoubtedly have too much." -- Macy Halford, New Yorker Online "In my mind Azby Brown is the Rick Steves of historic time travel. Where Steves takes you to his 'Europe through the back door', Brown invites us to visit Edo period Japan with him. He addresses his readers -- that's us -- as part of his entourage." --The International Examiner" 著者について AZBY BROWN, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, is the director of the KIT Future Design In-stitute in Tokyo.

I know that this book has been extremely popular with both environmentally-minded people and Japanophiles, but really it's garbage.Look at the references. Does the author consult any pre-modern texts? No.Indeed, the principle source for this was Ishikawa Eisuke's "Oedo Recycle Jijo," a work which has been described (quite correctly) by Princeton historian of Japan David Howell as "bizarrely chauvinistic." I'm not sure if the author really believes all this nonsense or is just trying to promote his own business in Japan, but there is little new about picking up all the lovely images of Japan you can imagine and throwing them out as if that was everything. "The city of Edo was perfect because diligent farmers happily came to cart away everyone's shit." Great for the city, sure, and good fertilizer, but is that all there is to it? Why were they forced to do such awful tasks, and to actually have to pay to do so? These questions are never asked. Peasants are portrayed as living in clean, pure, simple houses: happy, hearty, healthy. Then why were there peasant revolts all the time? Constant complaints about taxes, infanticide of more than 50% of babies? The fact is that many peasants were barely surviving because of high taxes, cuvee labor, famines, etc. How does Brown know that they were "healthy?" Where is the evidence? None is given. These questions are completely ignored in order to paint pre-modern Japan as some kind of paradise on Earth. I've seen tons of this in Japanese from right-wing demagogues. When non-Japanese do it is it especially disgusting.
