Detailed Profile

Otake's fieldwork focuses on peacebuilding, community healing and reconciliation in conflict zones.
"Why am I the only one who survived?" "Why did everyone die?" "Why did they kill?"
Survivors of conflict and genocide ask profound questions about life.
As we reweave the larger story of life and death, the world, and the universe, we discover the meaning of life and the community is reborn.
What role does nature play in this process?
He will also talk about the inspiration and realizations he gained from his deep forest bathing experience on Yakushima last year, as well as the possibility of ethnic (human) reconciliation.
The interviewer is our company representative, Sugishita Makiko.
