During staying in Japan, I generally visit new place or join event every Saturday and or Sunday priority to cultural event with children. The objectives of the tour are to educate, entertain, and inspire the children, however meeting my special interest to know Japanese popular culture. Today, 21 July 2012, we went in an event in Nowra, Higashi Kaiga, and the South of Ryotsu Port. Nowra is situated in the eastern part of Said Island. There is 20km of gentle coastline in Sado Island. The coast is famous for fishing and natural beauty. This area is famous for shrimp and crab.
একটি নাটকের চরিত্রে জন্য সারা দেশে মিছিল হয় প্ৃথিবীতে এর একটাই উদাহরন, হুমায়ূন আহমেদের ‘ েকাথাও কেউ নেই’! মুক্তাগাছায় অনুষ্ঠিত মিছিলের আমিও সেই একজন, “বাকের ভাইয়ের ফাঁসী দেয়া চলবে না, চলবে না….”। একজন লেখক ও নাট্যকার কত শক্তিশালী হতে পারেন তার প্রমান, ‘হুমায়ূন আহম্মেদ’! কিেশার সময় আমার অাবেগ থাকতে পারে, কিন্তু এখন বুঝ হয়েছে – ‘একজন লেখক বা শিল্পী তখনই স্বাথর্ক হন যখন সে তার বক্তব্যটি দশর্ক/ পাঠকের কাছে পৌছে িদয়ে আেন্দালিত, অনুপ্রাণিত এবং বিষয়ের সঙ্গে একত্ব করতে পােরন। অনেক বাঘা বাঘা সমােলাচক ‘সাহিত্য গুণ নেই’ বলে হুমায়ূন আহেম্মদের সমােলাচনা করেন। আমি বলব, উনি প্রকৃত শিল্পী, কারণ – তিনি নিজস্ব প্রদ্ধতি ও নতুন ধারা সৃষ্টি করে স্বাথর্ক হয়েছিলেন। যে কখনও বই পড়ে না তাকে বই পড়িয়েছেন, যিনি টিভি দেখতেন না – তাকে টিভি/ সিনেমা দেখে না তাকে দেখিয়ে ছেড়েছেন। ….’আমি যদি সাহিত্যে নবেল কমিটি থাকতাম , তাহলে অব্শ্যই উনার নামটি প্রথম বলতাম!

I am impressed to see the beauty of Rengebuji Temple (蓮華峰寺) in Ogi, Sado, Japan. It is full with natural beauty and flowers gardening. During visit, I felt touch of heavenly mode and Buddhists’ spirituality. The founder monks may inherit the heavenly inspiration for building it. Therefore, it is still spreading the mode of peace and harmony around. There is three most important three temples in esoteric Shingon Buddhism.
This is one in Sado and other two are Kongobuji in Wakayama and Murouji in Nara. This temple was built in 14th century.
Inspiring by the book ‘One Straw Revelation’ of Masanobu Fukuoka on 1996, I was keenly interested in ideal agriculture and farm-based life. By motivating with non-violence and agriculture philosophy, with a group of young activist, I was devoted to regenerative agriculture in UDP, Thakurgaon. I am regret, I could not continue as the land was not our own! We could not implement our own plan on natural and organic farming. However, I gave up by insulation and non-cooperation of careerist activists. I have tried to push us to do conventional agriculture! Although, I could not continue, but inherit the vision of agriculture. I was my dream to do cultivation in Japan. At last, my vision becomes true this year.
Here in Sado my wife and I have made my small vegetable farm and cultivate different type vegetables. I am proud and feel good to take care the vegetable with love like my children. The test and joy are different to eat own cultivated vegetable. It seems the vegetable talk with me and I can hear the thankful voice and intimate relationship. My vision and plan again restoring to do idea cultivation both in Japan and Bangladesh.
I have got a motivational difference between Bangladesh and Japan. I feel, in agriculture, Bangladesh people mostly look the benefit and big scale cultivation for income. However, family and community-based agriculture getting non-popular. However, in Japan, the main motivation of cultivation is to gardening own vegetable in small scale with priority to own family menu.
The great experiences, during cultivation in Japan from neighbors and friend, we always get volunteer supports and inspirations. Nevertheless, in Bangladesh, I have got opposite feedback and reaction. Most of my friends and relatives discouraged such way, ‘You become crazy. After graduating from university, why do you want to be a farmer! Why do you want to lose your golden professional carrier….’. I could not give the proper answer, but feel everybody should do cultivation and should respect at least farmers and farming. My low-tone reply was to them, ‘We can live without urban-based administration, but can not live without food and cultivation! We love urban, but not rural! Strange our civilization!’
Our vision, to continue cultivation particularly for family food along with our ‘multimedia production’ profession works.
