The Easy Life in Kamusari

Book review:

Somewhat predictable but still an immensly charming forestchange bildungsdroman.

Nonplussed by mediocre results, fresh high school graduate and Yokohama city-boy, Yuki Hirano is unperturbed by his lack of career prospects. The same cannot be said for his parents and a teacher who saw this coming a mile off. Somehow, they have conspired to register Yuki into a forestry trainee program in a far-off, barely accessible village. It would be assumed that Yuki might have a dissenting say but a little blackmail and household severance later and he has been packed off on his way. This happens within the first 5 pages.

This short novel is written in first person from the perspective of Yuki. Typing away his boredom into a primitive offline PC, he recounts his adventures after having worked and survived a year in his new home. Besides the exponential learning curve of skilled manual labour, each moment is filled with new experiences from the bucolic, near alien traditions and customs observed by the village to the different aspects of natural scenery that abounds.

Just when the pattern of work and festivals might be starting to wear thin comes the climactic event. Every 48 years the village observes a special ceremony and chooses a 1000 year old tree to fell. Normally a prohibited action but one that the village has been granted dispensation for. Not that cutting the tree down after hiking up a mountainside in the dark and cold is the main difficulty. There is the dubious reassurance that only 8 people have died in the event's recorded history.

This story has been adapted into the magnificently titled WOOD JOB! It featured in the 2014 Japanese Film Festival and the odd special screening at our centre. The original novel differs from the theatrical film but the underlying theme and unique setting make the two versions unmistakably the same story. Besides being packed with scenery candy, the fact the film exists means that the climax does too and the nigh unfilmable ending stunt is given a remarkable realisation. Those who enjoyed The Easy Life in Kamusari but felt it could do with fleshing out are apparently numerous enough as there is now a sequel Kamusari Tales Told at Night still narrated by the fish out of water Yuki.

Shelf: 913.6 MIU [Kamusari nānā nichijō. English]. The easy life in Kamusari. Shion Miura ; translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter.

Seattle, Wash. : Amazon Crossing, 2021. ISBNs: 9781542027151 (hardcover) ; 9781542027168 (paperback)

189 pages ; 21 cm. (In the forest series)

Originally published in Japan in 2012 as “Kamusari nānā nichijō” by Tokuma Shoten.

Translated into English from the Japanese.

"With pending modes of environmental degradation and the disappearance of community values and folkways, tourism can be transformed into a tool that caters to preservation rather than utilization."

"Tourism in itself is a culture, but this culture can be reshaped and re-designated to work in congruence with community ideals and principles."

Interstellar Lab's EBIOS project

Paris-based research group interstellar labs is working to bring a Mars-ready village to North America’s Mojave desert – one of the driest places on the continent – to further research on how humans could live on other planets, while simultaneously learning how to create more sustainable communities on Earth.

The design employs space technologies called EBIOS (experimental bio-regenerative stations), the first closed-loop controlled environment habitats on Earth of their kind. According to Interstellar Lab, EBIOS are a framework for regenerative living, providing solutions for water recycling, food production, waste management and nature preservation.

The site will be able to support up to 100 people in glass-clad domes, served by futuristic transport systems. In addition to laboratories in a dedicated science area where inhabitants can test life-support technologies, there will also be an art and music centre.
