Celebrating the 100th Transition Initiative … Transition Fujino!
Just days away from the second anniversary of the ‘Unleashing’ of Transition Town Totnes, the 100th ‘official’ Transition Initiative, Transition Fujino in Japan achieved its Transition Town status! Fujino is a town of around 10,000 people, which inhabits the ‘edge’ between Tokyo and rural Japan. By all accounts it is a kind of Japanese Totnes/Lewes… a progressive community which was home to the Japanese permaculture movement, and is also home to a Steiner School. It is also home to the team who are translating the Transition Primer into Japanese! A fitting place for it to start….
