唐の時代にインドへ渡り仏教の経典を持ち帰った玄奘三蔵の長年の旅を記した地誌『大唐西域記』を基に書かれたのが、『西遊記』。 そんな書物に倣って、『齊祐記(さいゆうき)』を始めます。 様々な場所を訪れ、多くの人に触れ、多くの書籍を読んで感じた日々のことを書き記します。

Be green from cloths
"Long ago, everything on earth was organic, and the word 'organic' doesn't exist. In this mass-production society it is rather hard to find items that are purely organic and produced in sustainable way. Fortunately, we are in a generation that is aware of these mistakes and we are starting to change our ways." (Mika Machida)
Do you know "Mika Organic"? Mika Organic is one of the cloths companies in the world. Mika Machida, the designer, always draw endangered species on her cloths. By drawing such animals, she wants us to realize the impact which we give to the environment. She only uses organic fibers, for instance, organic wool, organic cotton, hemp, and the like. Even if a recycle material, it uses chemicals in the process manufacture, so she never uses that.
Hoever, it is almost impossible to print pictures on cloths in organic ways, so she uses water-based ink, which has the least damage to the environment, instead.
The price is a little bit higher than usual cloths, around $200, but it can be a first step to be green person!!!
