This paper was read at the Fifth Biennial Conference of the ASLE (Association for the Study of Literature and Environment) held at Boston University, June 3-7, 2003 by Sadamichi Kato. It was one of the three papers presented at the session H12 “DOWN ON THE FARM” on June 6. The other two were ”Ecocriticism and the Agrarian Vision” by William Ma- jor and “Wendell Berry and the Rhetoric of Economy” by Andrew McMurry. The theme of the conference (“the solid earth! the actual world!”) was taken from Henry Thoreau’s “Ktaadn” in The Maine Woods.
In this paper, Kato examines the leading representative of the second generation of the Natural Farming movementKawaguchi Yoshikazu. He indicates his distinctive approach from Fukuoka in appliance of Natural Farming and analyzes the similarities and differences of Japanese Yoshikazu's and American American agricultural writer Wes Jackson's sustainable agriculture propositions in light of Eastern and Western horizons' dichotomy.

BIOLOD PROJECT
- BIOLOD PROJECT
- is an online resources database for creating ecological and sustainable life spaces and communities. For a long time we had been gathering documents advocating living in balance with nature and giving technical info on how to do this. Thus, we know how hard it is to find those technical documents for people who are trying to build their own communities. We provide a collection of valuable texts, links and videos on subjects like alternative home construction, solar and wind energy, bio-diesel, permaculture, natural ways of farming etc. along with some theoretical challenges. We hope it might be of help to you. We are a small affinity group aiming to live in our own ecological community and advancing on this path. Our friends have had experiences in some other communities ‘till now and now we are raising funds and developing our skills to abandon life-consuming city life and start our own community with ecologically sound approaches and organical relationships among us.
