It even changes within one day,

or with the ebb and flow of the tide.

We all just do what we want to do

to make life worthwhile.

In farming, there's a

time lag in the results.

If you do what needs to be done today,

a few weeks later, a flower will bloom.

You can see the fruits of your labor

so it's very fulfilling.

With children, the time lag is

even longer, but it's the same.

I feel sorry for kids who don't get a

chance to experience nature.

To play in the mud,

to play with animals.

I think kids need that.

Adults have a choice whether to live

in the city or in the country.

But kids need to be in touch

with the earth, I think.

Following Masanobu Fukuoka's

natural style of farming,

she crossbreeds different types of trees

and vegetables by mixing their seeds.

She harvests her crop

and enjoys them as they are.

She doesn't use a refrigerator,

so she preserves her harvest

or turns them into spices.

We live in this...

what do you call this?

In the natural world,

in the balance of nature.

We are balanced by nature.

This balance preserves us

so we don't perish.

I always wanted to live near

a source of natural water,

where I don't need to

use water from a tap.

So I'm grateful to be living here.

I can use as much water as I need.

I live in an environment where

water is always flowing in the river.

Doesn't it make you feel rich'!

Most people don't live

such rich lives.

But they do.

Not in the city though.

Everything is controlled.

Fire and water cost money.

If you use this much,

you have to pay this much.

In nature, you can use as much

firewood as you want.

I couldn't live in the city.

Those who can tolerate city life

don't hate it that much.

Like this kind of country life,

this organic lifestyle.

Some are enamored by it,

but not enough to leave the city.

As for me, I couldn't live in the city.

What's your 'soul food?

I don't really know yet.

Rice? Brown rice'!

Potato?

Let's eat!

Tomatoes, first.

You can drink plum juice.

This one's in the middle.

This one's Hiko's.

And Wako's.

There's miso, too.

- Not sweet potatoes?

- Too bad.

Mash 'em?

What's your favorite food, Wako?

Tomatoes, potatoes and mom's miso.

And young greens. That's all.

Is it good?

Sure is!

Your most memorable meal? I went to a

restaurant in the south of France.

Your most memorable meal?

They served green peas.

They were so delicious.

It was prepared very simply.

They had just picked them

from their garden out back.

That's my most memorable meal.

These are from Okinawa where

the dirt is still young.

It's a bit chilly.

UA's feelings translate

directly into her songs.

As a singer and a mother,

she sought to educate her children

Hi there.

You can go through there.

How are you?

I see you when I'm driving.

Really?

I was interested in the saplings

over there. Thanks for your time.

That farm is yielding the most lately.

Shall we go, then?

I'm glad it's sunny. I need a hat.

Leafy greens, right?

Leafy vegetables, cabbage...

Sugar snap peas?

And green peas.

Will they fit?

I'll take as much as I can.

Is it too much?

No, I'm bringing them as a gift.

They eat a lot.

- They may all fit.

- Let's try it.

Right down here.

Cabbage?

Healthy looking cabbage.

They didn't grow very big

because it was cold.

How does it taste?

Taste?

Did the wild boars get a bite?

It's a little bitter.

That's good to know. For seasoning.

The lettuce is soft and tasty.

What kind of lettuce is this?

They're radishes.

Radishes. And this?

Chinese spinach. And rucola.

And three kinds of leaf lettuce.

Three kinds.

There are some twigs.

Right.

But honestly, does our rice

taste good because the hull's left on?

That's right.

Because it's still alive.

- Once it's hulled...

- It's dead.

How is it'! Is it still good?

It's pretty good.

That's quite a lot.

I think I'll do it all.

I'll trade some of it for eggs.

- There's only a little left.

- Farewell, my brown rice.

UA rice.

I almost named my child "Hully".

Sounds good.

Are you packing a lunch?

Can you believe it?

Not really.

My son doesn't like brown rice.

The school serves only brown rice.

I love that sound.

So that's brown rice?

I have to mix it up so he doesn't know.

I mix it with seaweed and other stuff

so he can't tell.

Brown rice...

How is it?

Delicious.

What do you think "a good meal' is?

I guess...

I guess it's not just about eating.

It's about communication.

However little, or a lot.

Saying "this tastes good".

Commenting on your food.

Even if it's to yourself, right?

Like saying, 'this wasn't that great'

to yourself.

Not just eating... without any input.

Or eating just to eat.

Not eating while watching TV...

But talking about it. How it tastes.

Sorry, the water is boiling.

That's my theory.

I'm not expressing myself well.

I was an only child

raised by a single morn.

I ate in front of the TV

quite a lot.

Any luck yet?

She laid one right now.

Really?

Is it warm?

It's warm, all right.

Isn't it warm?

It's amazing.

B in all.

I brought some rice today.

Rice that I grew.

Looks delicious.

Over there?

Where the scarecrow is?

Not over there.

With Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Yamazaki.

It looks good.

Really? Thanks.

So the 999$?

I'll put them in the car.

Wrap them up in the veggies.

They're all speckled.

The prettiest ones were just laid.

Thank you.

Thanks. Come again.

See you.

Say hi to Mr. Shitara.

Thank you.

Ouch!

Some have condensed the joy

of eating to its essence

and carry on the tradition as a legacy.

A 15th generation tea master

serves tea to an actor.

As told in the '100 Sayings of Rikyu",

the art of tea is often simply

boiling water, making tea

and drinking it.

You have to relax your shoulders

and enjoy the tea.

If this sense of calm is shared,

the tradition will live on.

Excuse me.

Please come in.

Thank you for coming, Mr. Asano.

As this is your first time

to this tea house,

I've tried my best to ensure that

you have a pleasant experience.

Please relax and enjoy yourself.

I'll try to make some delicious tea.

I hope you enjoy it.

In May, the new leaves are

at the height of their beauty.

As spring is associated

with cherry blossoms,

the art of tea is linked very closely

with the seasons.

It changes with the seasons

and your feelings.

And through the tea ceremony,

we express our belief of entertaining

our guests with a cup of tea.

The most direct expression of the

seasons may be these flowers

or the words on this hanging scroll,

or the picture hanging on the wall.

I heard that you like mountains,

so I wanted to focus on that.
