Mr. Sakata is currently living in Kumamoto, but when he was living in Osaka, he went to Seishoku Cooking School and graduated from the normal course.She was involved in a participatory organic cafe x community space “Cafe Slow” in Juso, Osaka, and was engaged in activities such as hands-on workshops and environmental talk live.The theme of this talk is "Creating a system to protect the forest". “Food and forests. Food is all living things except for salt, but forests are the source of life. Fallen leaves are decomposed and become nutrients, which enriches the forest. However, the nutrients flow away from the rain, and at the end of the flow is the sea.By enriching the sea there, oysters grow, small fish grow, and the fish that eat them grow. I'll repeat myself: "The forest is the sea's sweetheart." There is a saying that "Egypt is a gift of the Nile".There is a great deal of water every year, which carries black soil from upstream and produces crops.Forests and food are closely related.” 
“In the old days, forests and life were deeply connected, and it was difficult to live without them. The hardest thing about ostracism in the Edo period was to prevent people from entering the village’s shared forests and shared areas. If you can't use communal water, you can't farm, you can't secure fuel if you don't enter the communal forest, you won't be able to cook your meals, and eventually you won't be able to stay in the village. It was the forest that supported life.” The various roles that forests have played, the current state of forests, the problem of forest protection, the reasons why forests are not protected, the conversion of multifaceted functions into money, and the protection of forests. A lecture was held using a projector about what can be done in After the lecture, during the question-and-answer period, a baby sparrow wandered in through the open window.I managed to catch it, and there was a happening that I was able to escape where there was a worried parent. The audience was filled with laughter when Professor Sakata concluded, “This place has become a forest, too.” (Terry)
