Becoming One: Religion, Development, and Environmentalism in a Japanese NGO in Myanmar
From the moment they woke up to the moment they went to sleep, the staffers’ and trainees’ days were marked by continuous labor alongside each other. The ultimate goal of this program was to encourage trainees to return to their home villages and become community leaders of sustainable development and environmental efforts—leaders who would know how to live in and for the collective.

Grand Shrine of Ise, the Inner Shrine and the Sacred Mirror
The Grand Shrine of Ise is Shintō's most holy and important site. It holds the sacred mirror Yata no Kagami, one of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan. The Inner Shrine or Naikū is the grand finale of your visit.
Steve McCarty 🇯🇵Many responses to my post with photos of the Shintō-Buddhist hybrid shrine Nikkō Tōshō-gū (日光東照宮) dedicated to the first Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu at permalink https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/116460012855652237 included a question from @gclef
> Interesting, thanks for sharing that! Noted the three monkeys motif... is there a Japanese story/parable about them? Familiar with the western version, just wondering about cultural variations.
The three monkeys originated in the 17th Century with a Japanese pun based on an ancient Confucian saying, and the photo I showed was its most prominent illustration. It entered the West in the 19th Century and took on more of a cynical meaning than the austere Asian version, although Japanese has a common expression for pretending not to see something dicey.
Here are more photos of the exceptionally ornate Nikkō Tōshō-gū.

Returned home to Ōsaka from the best ever trip to the Tōkyō region, staying with our sons, meeting friends, and going to beautiful places. Let's start with Nikkō Tōshō-gū (日光東照宮), a shrine dedicated to the first Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu who united Japanese civilization four centuries ago. It's unusually gorgeous and ornate by traditional Japanese aesthetic standards, reflecting warlord grandiosity, but it still blends nicely with the mountain woods. The first photo shows what I noticed first as a researcher, the syncretism of Buddhism with indigenous Shintō. One especially famous feature is the three monkeys who bespeak 'see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.' That last one is a trouble spot when you speak two languages 😆.

Consider it. Would it be better? Worse?
People love to blame #Capitalism, but the historic alternative worldwide was feudalism.
