【日本の深層を知る】先人の伝統的な価値観が、激動の時代を生き抜く糧になる！？〜前半講義を終えての振り返り対談（纐纈あや／映画監督・井戸理恵子）

Last week, on July 12th, we completed the sixth session of the annual "Understanding Japan's Depths" course, marking the halfway point of the first half. Therefore, we held a retrospective discussion between the moderator, documentary film director Aya Koketsu, and Rieko Ido, reflecting on the first half, which focused on the theme of "Weddings, Funerals, and Other Ceremonies." At the end of the video, you will find information regarding the themes of future lectures. You can still join the "Understanding Japan's Depths" annual course.

"Turning the wisdom passed down by our ancestors into the power to survive in the future." With this motto, our mission is to decipher the meaning of traditional culture that has been passed down in this country since ancient times as "the wisdom of our ancestors," and to newly transmit and propose it as a means to survive in the future. We support the inheritance of culture and regional revitalization, and we plan and manage lectures, seminars, and events, operate an organic cafe incorporating the concept of "food as medicine," and plan and produce products utilizing traditional materials and techniques with the theme of "daily use of tradition." ◆Rieko Ido Folklore Information Engineering, Folklore, Ecological Planning Japanese Craftsmen, Health-Promoting Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine Part-time Lecturer, Tama Art University Representative, Yukisuki no Kuni LLC
