Japan always seems to get it right. Harie is a peaceful village in Japan that has a constant flow of natural spring water, that through a unique system is supplied to every home there. They use a brilliant system called “Kabata” where every home’s flow of spring water is used to keep their freshly picked fruits and vegetables fresh. They also clean their dishes in the overflow of spring water which serves as a feeding for some very special kitchen helpers, large koi carp. All of the kitchen scraps that are put into the water for the koi is safe for them to eat and equivalent to their natural diet. Basically 100% plant based, never any meat or dairy products. Says a lot about the staple diet of Japanese people. The spring water Kabata pond waters where the koi live flows back into the main stream that flows through the entire village and back into the lake and streams that irrigate and naturally fertilize the village’s crops. An enormous natural Aquaponics system!! It’s such a beautiful arrangement. This proves that the idea of a peaceful everlasting life in pristine health on a paradise earth is very real, very possible, very desirable. My first trip to Japan is planned for next year, so be prepared for my blog to be saturated with everything Japanese while I’m there. For more info. about this lovely village in Harie and their Kabata’s you can Google it or check out these links below:

He
How is thee water clean if the carp and koi are defecating into it?
Because it’s a natural aquaponics system. In your leisure time, research aquaponics and you will understand the purity of this process.
