> It is with this holistic notion of the relationship between humans, soul, other living things as well as inanimate nature in the life-world that Ogata and sixteen other Minamata disease sufferers established the 'Association of the Original Vow' (Hongan no Kai 本願の会) in 1995.

One of these statues has Masazumi Harada's name on it. He is a key person for learning Minamata. #StoneBuddha #Jizo #Nobotoke #地蔵 #野仏 #Minamata #MinamataDisease #MasatoOgata #OgataMasato

Proud to be from PA!! The greats tend to destroy their TVs.

ペンシルベニア州生れのEdward Abbeyさんはテレビを壊して偉いと思うけど、 水俣の緒方正人さんはもっと偉い。庭の石でテレビを壊す[1]のがもっと継続官能な方法ですので尊敬します。 やっぱりしっかりしている人間は素手、 鉄砲などの近来(Modernity) の手段を借りて怠け者(lazy)なことをしません。
