Title: Slow Japan

URL: http://www.sloth.gr.jp/

Description: This website aims to introduce you to the Japanese “Slow Living Movement.” In July 1999, ten or so people got together in Tokyo and started the Sloth Club. It became a catalyst of the so-called “Slow Life” movement in Japan, whose creed is “slow is beautiful." Some ten years later, the Sloth Club still exists and the word “slow” has become widely recognized. Slow can be understood to mean alternative, sustainable, ecological, local, and happy. Slow means “to connect”," with other people, with nature, etc. In the last ten years, we have witnessed positive changes all over Japan. The concept of slow has made an impact on many aspects of the society. The movement, for example, encouraged people to start acknowledging the richness of rural life and communities. Many like-minded groups have also formed to address issues as diverse as nuclear disarmament, peace between Japan and Korea, decentralization, and pollution. The movement as a whole is creating a new sustainable and ecological culture.
