Ed Stratham is one of the many inspiring people I met at the https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/minkasummit (#MinkaSummit) - here we talk about how he is making good use of abandoned MINKA (traditional Japanese houses) in the rural area of Nagano, in a beautiful mountaineous area called Nozawa. Ed is originally from the UK has been living a life of contrasts as a scuba dive instructor and business entrepreneur in Indonesia and now settled in rural Nagano where he has done a few renovation projects on 100+ year old houses https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/minka (#minka) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/kominka (#kominka) Looking forward to a lively chat about the Minka Summit, Ed's remodel projects, and future potential he sees for reviving rural areas and making good use of Japan's abandoned Kominka houses. https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/kominka (#kominka) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/japan (#japan) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nagano (#nagano) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nozawa (#nozawa) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/communitybuilding (#communitybuilding) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/rural (#rural) ~~~~ About the Seek-Sustainable-Japan Host, JJWalsh JJWalsh is the founder of Inbound Ambassador - a Hiroshima-based sustainability-focused consultancy, strategy, advising & content creation business.
