The show will be a 2-hour special, and in her segment, Ruth will once again share more interesting information about what makes Japan so unique compared to the rest of the world. From the country’s delicious agricultural products and the breathtaking 1km-long Chichibugahama Beach in Kagawa Prefecture, to the convenient and high-tech functions of Japanese elevators, this show will be yet another eye-opening lesson about Japan’s wonders. 

As everyone knows, I have made the choice to focus on all the good in Japan and concentrate most of my energy there (both in business and my private life). Somehow positivity is in my DNA and I find myself focusing on the positive no matter where I go. I believe that finding the positive is not naive or idealistic and that it can actually be much more difficult than people think. So, if a positive attitude and the energy of love can bring a smile to even one more face on Christmas night I am all in. My beautiful broach was made by my great friend and artist Yoko Inada. I felt courage just having it on my jacket. Getting the Japanese right, the pressure of keeping my nerves controlled, the embarrassment about how I look and sound on TV… there are so many reasons NOT to do this. But, if a laugh happens or someone feels more excited about the New Year because of something I say…it is all worth it. Love Wins!

Here is an interview with Ruth about her fourth appearance on the show (Japanese): https://dogatch.jp/news/ntv/ntvtopics_108331/detail/?fbclid=IwAR3w3UvhbhDTqj9_hptWNGE6UlnE29I5_ZNna0pjwoQx0vQfVUeYZpSMnIE

The first of three webinars was presented by Adam Fulford about the incredibly relevant topic of regional revitalization. During his over 40 years of living and working in Japan, Adam has served as a community consultant for the small town of Nakatsugawa, located among the lush mountains of Yamagata Prefecture. He has since become very passionate about making sure the culture, traditions, and immense knowledge of the Japanese countryside are not left forgotten.  

Although it may not necessarily be intuitive, there are many ways in which supporting the economic and social growth of the countryside relates to SDGs, for example, by preventing overpopulation in the cities. As a result, this can alleviate negative environmental impacts such as air pollution and the urban heat island effect. 

Albeit in a small way, Jarman International was very honored to be able to contribute to this global effort in making not only Japan, but also the world, a better place for all.

Stay tuned for updates regarding the other two SDG webinars, which were each presented by JI Core 50 members Violet Daike-Pacileo and Roland Thompson!

The guest speakers were John Gauntner, the world’s leading non-Japanese sake expert, and Alex Kerr, the highly respected Japanologist who has written multiple award-winning books about the nuances of Japan’s culture and history such as “Lost Japan” (1996). The webinar was broadcasted from one of Tohoku’s largest sake warehouses at the over 400-year-old Toko brewery in Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture.

During the innovative webinar, participants located in Japan and New York were able to directly taste Toko sake along with John and Alex, as they were sent a selection of bottles in advance. John introduced the characteristics of Tohoku sake and tips on how to best enjoy this traditional Japanese drink, while Alex offered insights on the region’s landscape and culture that set it apart from other areas of Japan.

The webinar is now available on YouTube for anyone around the world to enjoy. Click HERE to learn all about Tohoku’s sake and culture!

An entire segment of the show was dedicated to some of the many compelling reasons why Japan is so unique, based on those that Ruth points out in her book.

A warm congratulations to Ruth for her third and very successful appearance on the show, as well as continuous, meaningful contribution in encouraging people in Japan.

I have always wanted to be a diplomat and support understanding across borders. This kind of ranking had never happened before and I am so grateful that readers get how love and understanding between cultures can raise awareness and lead to a less dangerous world. Feeling so much love and thanks today. Work and life can be so hard, but little things like this certainly fill my tank with joy and keep me going. Thank you to the 16 million people who watch this show and for Nippon Television for giving me this opportunity.

Jarman chose the Mirai no Mori charity due to their influential aim to give all youths equal opportunities and hopes to open up the same fundraiser to other golf courses across Japan to not only help support Mirai no Mori further, but to also support other national charities. When not helping to fundraise for charities, Jarman International KK focuses on connecting foreign residents of Japan with local Japanese companies, which can be reflected in their company tagline: “connecting international curiosity with Japanese content.”

We send a heartfelt thank you to Metropolis magazine for helping us reach more people about our monthly event, and further spread the word about Mirai no Mori.
