Recycling tradition through the Akita Maiko | Chinatsu Mizuno | TEDxTohoku
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Revitalizing local regions, especially sparsely populated areas, is not achieved through creating something entirely new, but by capturing people’s attention through a resource that is unique to the region and also close to the local people’s hearts.
In Mizuno’s case, she focused on something that only exists in her hometown in Akita prefecture - the historical culture of Akita Maiko - and polished that one factor. She believes this approach is applicable in places outside of Akita as well; there are numerous place in Japan that have an irreplaceable factor or resource that are yet to be used.
Utilizing the ideas that you encounter in your everyday lives and the legacies that linger around you, will eventually lead to the revival of a culture and a place.
“Revival” sounds complex, but it is simply about changing something from the past into something that you, as a person of the present, desire to see. This will lead us to an undiscovered future of the Tohoku region, including the flourishment of Akita, and will also allow us to share the essence that lies at the core of this country with the rest of the world.
Thank you for your requests for the English subtitles.
We are currently working on the English subtitles; however, they will take some time to publish as they require approval from TED as well. In the meantime, we will create a summary of the talk in English to be shared with you shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your kind patience.
Chinatsu Mizuno
Entrepreneur, CEO of Sen Inc.
Chinatsu Mizuno was born in Oomagari city, Akita prefecture, in 1988.
After graduating from university, Mizuno began working in a firm in Tokyo, but eventually decided to make a u-turn and returned to her home of Akita to start her own business.
While working at the sales department of a company that produces the food culture of Akita, she was inspired to promote Akita’s tourism as well as to inherit and maintain its traditional culture. This led to the establishment of her company, Sen, in April 2014. Sen functions as a concierge for tourism and traditional culture, of which Mizuno serves as a CEO.
As a resource for the industrialization of Akita-bijin (Akita beauties), Sen hopes to nurture Akita’s historical culture of Kawabata geisha to develop its concept of a “meetable Akita-bijin.” The business focuses on the training and dispatching of Akita maiko.

Retour au NORD DU JAPON (Flashback #2)
Pour ce Flashback, je suis retourné au Nord de l'île principale du Japon, à Akita et sur la péninsule d'Oga, deux endroits où j'avais vécu de superbes moments lors de mon aventure l'année dernière avec Lolo Caccia.
On avait fait de belles rencontres et j'ai voulu retrouver ces belles personnes tout en profitant de l'occasion pour découvrir et vivre de nouvelles choses ! :)

Weather in Japan Snow Country Japanology 雪国
Please Subscribe to my Channel
Snow country (雪国 yukiguni; also, more prosaically, 豪雪地帯 gōsetsu chitai [heavy snow area]) refers to areas in Japan characterized by heavy, long-lasting snowfalls.
The rather poetic snow country (雪国 yukiguni) can refer to any place with heavy or deep snows and is generally understood as a reference to the Sea of Japan side of Honshū (Japan's main island) and the area encompassed by the Japanese Alps, a series of mountain ranges that make up the island's backbone. In its broadest meaning, snow country means the belt along the Sea of Japan from Yamaguchi (in particular, Shimane) in the south to Honshū's northern tip, as well as Sado Island and Hokkaidō. More narrowly defined, it is used to indicate the area from Fukui to Akita Prefecture, but it is most closely associated with part of Fukui and all of Toyama and Niigata Prefectures.
Heavy Snowfall Zones refers to places where snowfall and snow cover are severe enough to be a hindrance to the livelihood of inhabitants or the development of local industry. In all, more than half of Japan's land area carries the designation—ten complete prefectures and portions of fourteen others out of Japan's 47 prefectures. Heavy snow areas are eligible for subsidies and other special consideration from the central government to help them cope with the snow (such as for snow removal) and otherwise bring stability to local livelihoods and economies.
The heavy snowfalls of Japan's snow country are caused by moisture-laden clouds bumping up against the mountains along the backbone of Honshū and releasing their moisture under the influence of westerly winds blowing off the continent or down from Siberia. As a result, the region includes some of the world's snowiest spots at the same latitudes, many localities are also frequently visited by avalanches.
Frequently snow is so deep in some places that buildings have a special entrance on their second story; people must remove snow from their roofs to prevent its weight from crushing their homes, and special care is taken to protect trees from the snow's weight. In some towns, people used to tunnel paths to one another's homes, and streets were lined with covered sidewalks to ensure that people could get around. Today in areas where temperatures are high enough to make it practical, many roads are equipped with sprinklers using warm ground water to keep them passable by melting the snow.
The most recent record snows were brought by the blizzards of December 2005–February 2006, when well over 3 m (4.5 m in one part of Aomori Prefecture) of snow accumulated in many rural areas, and anywhere from 46 cm (Tottori) to nearly 1.5 m (Aomori) piled up even in several major cities.

at Japanese Wikipedia
One striking feature of Japan's snow country are the snow monsters (樹氷 Juhyō) on Mount Zaō (蔵王山 Zaō-san). Strong wind over the nearby lake fling water droplets which freeze against the trees and their branches, until near-horizontal icicles begin to form. Falling snow settles on the ice formations, and the end result is a grotesque figure of a tree. The effect of a full forest of such trees gives visitors a ghostly impression.

I WANNA GO FAST! Going as fast as we can at Harris Hill Raceway!
Here we go again! We head from the Houston Police Academy straight to Harris Hill Raceway for some fun with the out of town crew after the JZX90 Special Stage Event from Lone Star Drift! It was a ton of fun, we do everything over kill! We figured we would take the fastest cars we had and some out of town guys and see if we could hit 140 mph, but the cars broke, so we did what we could. Sit back and enjoy!
