“Our delightedness brought from worries” from “Chugai Nippo”(Oct. 23, 2020)

Yoshio Iwamura   Volunteer activities in Ishinomaki City

Director of Kobe International Sustaining Organization
Pastor of Kobe International Christ Church

It’s a scene just after the big tsunami that had happened almost 10 years ago. I saw many cars stuck vertically in the rice fields. The car is a symbol of convenience. Miyagi Prefecture supports the large consumption city Tokyo as the major rice-producing prefecture. The paddy fields were moaning in sludge and debris brought by the black tsunami. During the time of escaping from the tsunami, it was dangerous to use the car since all of the cars were congested and clocked the roads. Highways were destructed and twisted, airports lost their functions because of the tsunami, and fishing ports where were the center place of fisheries were completely destroyed.

Our visit to Ishinomaki City Miyagi Prefecture through 15 hours of driving from Kobe by saying “We will come again” to local people reached 112 times. What made us do so? Our actions didn’t come from the act of an evangelist. Our sensitivities were directly linked to our actions. In the past, there is a history that rice cultivation in severe cold regions cruelly made Tohoku people suffering. People went away from home to work in the city and daughters had been sold even after the war. 

In the 1950s, there were no farming machines, small pickup trucks, or chemical fertilizers for Tohoku farmers. The peasants were at the mercy of the national policy “tanshyu (反収: the rice yield per 10 areas)” that was driven by the government. Volunteers from Kobe have begun to struggle with the soil covered by the tsunami mud. We were also in a blind effort like pioneers to the salty rice fields. We only had an innocent spirit of being with local people. We didn’t have any skills. It was probably a reckless action. It is a problem if stink bugs appear because of pesticide-free and organic farming style. And we felt cold looks, “You all from the city can’t bear the severe nature”.

I felt pain in my intestine duodenum for a few days before we leave from Kobe because of my “anxiety”. I could not sleep. We purchased rice seedlings that do not contain neonicotinoid-based pesticides from Osaki City. We also started to receive supports from Yasuda Shigeru, Professor Emeritus of Kobe University, and also local farmers. Young people heard about our activities and began to participate in one after another from all over Japan. My wife, Kayoko, took care of the management of contacts between participants. And she encouraged me with her prayers.

We listen to our creator’s voice, “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground”. Since I am an unpaid pastor, so I kept giving hard times to my wife. Unlike in the past, not humans but the earth became the other party to us. Kayoko handed us her hand-made meal boxes and sent out the participants with her smiles while waving her hands. We were just worried about undiscovered tasks. We began to take our steps like a baby. Never give up even if we stumbled and made scars on our foreheads, and just keep going.

In September, we experienced with children, who will be responsible for the next generation, that our ninth rice harvest in Ishinomaki City where is the place of agriculture, forestry, and fishing. We were delighted to work together with the locals.

　2011年3月11日午後2時46分に，東日本大震災が発生しました。3日後，被災地における生活困窮者，被害者の支援を目的とするボランティア活動をするように準備をはじました。16日からマスコミなどを通して，物資を募りました。3月20日に仙台，石巻市に向かい，現地の方々と共に生きる機会が芽生えました。
　そこで，団体の名称を，「神戸国際支援機構」の「支援」を「支縁」に変更することにしました。
「縁」relationship もゆかりもない東北に出かけて，痛み，つらさ，悲しみを共有した時に，家族のような「絆」bond ができました。ボランティアはつなぎ目の働きでしょう。
　「人は“縁”という糸で，誰かと結ばれています。深い。浅い。近い。遠い。縁もいろいろですが，困ったときは人の縁に感謝します。……ほころび，途切れた社会の縁を何とか結び直さねばなりません。……縁を支える別の糸が要るのかもしれません。いろんな糸をよりあわせれば強くしなやかな縁になります。震災を経験した私たちはそのことを痛感しているのではありませんか。」(神戸新聞「正平調」改 2012年3月28日付)。

On March 11, 2011, the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami occurred. Three days later, we started preparing volunteer activities to support the poor and victims in the affected area. We started to ask for materials and goods through mass media from 16th. On March 20, we headed to Sendai and Ishinomaki City, and the opportunity to live together with local people was born.

Therefore, we decided to change the word in our organization name, from “supporting” to “sustaining”.

We went out to Tohoku, where there was no relationship before, and when we shared their pain and sorrows, we could establish the “bond” like a family. Volunteer work is just like a connection of bond.

“People are connected with someone by a string of ‘En (relationship)’. Deep, shallow, close, far. There are many ‘En’, but when you are in trouble, you appreciate ‘En’ with other people. Frayed and broken ‘En’ of society should manage to re-tie it. It may need other strings to support ‘En’. When various types of string came together, ‘En’ becomes stronger and flexible. Don’t we realize it as who experienced the earthquake disasters, do we?” (Kobe Shimbun. “Seiheicho”. March 28, 2012)

 　３．１１以降，ほぼ毎月，ボランティアで被災地に向かっています。すでに100回を超えています。%Random_Link%を2015年11月6日から。

Since 3.11, we visit the affected area to do volunteers almost every month. Our visit has already become more than 100 times.

Q： 会が発足したきっかけは何ですか
Ａ：　2001年10月7日，米国ニューヨーク市の同時多発テロの報復として，「対テロ戦争」という名目でアフガニスタンに空爆を開始。アメリカは当初，攻撃目標は軍事目標に限定していると発表していましたが，誤爆などで住宅や民間施設も被害にあいました。その結果，多くの人命が失われました。戦争から逃れるために多くの難民が発生することになり，何かできることがないだろうかという感性に基づいて情報収集，セミナー，支援活動を始めていくことになりました。戦争，震災などで傷ついた人々と共生，共苦，苦縁のために小さな働きを始めました。

　2001年9月11日 アメリカ同時多発テロ

　機構は政治団体でも利益団体でも職業団体でもありません。他者のために生き，共に苦しみ，悲しみを入れる器，共に分かち合います。
　日本は国際的に難民を受け入れることを明言しています。自国で政治的，思想的な立場が認められず，身に危険が及ぶために，日本に安全を求めて，国を棄て脱出する場合があります。しかし，日本の対応は，難民申請をほとんど受理しません。法務省の収容センターにすぐに収監してしまいます。人権，自由が奪われています。強制送還をしますと，本国で粛正されてしまってもおかまいなしに，送り返してしまうのです。国連が認めている難民申請者でも日本は拒否します。
　日本は1981年に難民条約に加入。日本への難民申請が3年間で23487人に及びます。世界には薬6500万人の保護が必要な方がいます。113人にひとりは難民であり，増え続けています。日本の法務省が認めた難民の数は3年間でわずか66人です。難民は密入国者や，移民とは異なります。日本では難民申請者が10,901人ですが，認定数は28人にすぎません「平成27年における難民認定者数について」(法務省 2017年2月10日 速報値)。
　国内３ヶ所の収容センターは現代のアウシュビッツのように，ひどい待遇です。自殺者，発狂する人まで続出しています。
　したがって，日本が他国から逃れてくる人々に対する配慮，人間として当然なすべき人道上の処遇をするようになるまで，移住連全国フォーラムに参加し，「私たちがつくる多民族・多文化共生社会」を目指します。

　　難民鎖国 を ＳＴＯＰ！

Q: What was the purpose to establish the organization?
A: On October 7, 2001, as retaliation for simultaneous terrorist attacks in New York City in the United States, the US started air striking in Afghanistan under the name of “war against terror”. In the beginning, the US announced that the target of the attack was limited to military objects. However, civilian houses and private facilities were also damaged due to the errant bomb attacks. As a result, so many lives have been lost. Many refugees were born to escape from war, and we started to collect information, operate seminars, and supporting activities based on the feeling that there is something we can do. We started our small action to do “Co-existence, Share sufferings, Ku-en (connection born from sharing sufferings)” with the people who got hurt by wars and disasters.

The September 11 attacks. September 11, 2001.

The organization is neither a political group nor a profit group nor a professional group. We live for others, suffer together, and share a bowl of sorrow.

Japan has declared internationally that receive refugees. There are cases that people escape from their own country to Japan for seeking security because their lives in danger due to the political and ideological position in their own country are not accepted. However, Japan’s response does not accept most refugee applications. Immediately, people are caught and imposed in the detention center of the Ministry of Justice. Their human rights and freedom are deprived. If people are forcibly repatriated, they will be punished in their home, but Japan doesn’t think about it and act forcible repatriation. Japan refuses even refugee applicants that the UN recognizes.

Japan joined the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees in 1981. There are 23,487 refugee applications to Japan in three years. There are 65 million people who need protection in the world. One in 113 people is a refugee and it continues to increase. The number of refugees that are recognized by the Ministry of Justice in Japan is only 66 people in three years. Refugees are different from illegal immigrants and immigrants.

There are 10,901 refugee applicants in Japan, but the number of accreditation is only 28 people. “About the number of refugee accreditations in 2015” (Preliminary report data on February 10, 2017. Ministry of Justice)

The current three accommodation centers in Japan are in terrible condition and it just like modern Auschwitz. People who commit suicides or lost their minds are increasing.

Therefore, until Japan becomes to consider escaping people from other countries and give humanitarian acts that should be done as human beings, we continue to participate in the Forum of Solidarity Network with Migrants Japan and seek “Multinational and multicultural coexistence society that we make”.

Stop a closed-door policy for refugees!

Q : 東日本大震災前までまでどんなイベントをしましたか
Ａ : 「足元からの難民支援」講座，ミャンマーの難民申請者を支援するための研究会を発足。神戸市垂水区で，はじめてイラク展を開催。イラクの民衆の生活などをパネル展示，手づくりの絵本展示，現地の状況を報告。2005年，日野原重明氏の「震災10年 ・みんなで考える命の尊さ」，2006年，前日本銀行総裁の速水優氏による「明日の日本を考える」集会を開催。神戸文化ホールで「マザー・テレサ」映画を上映。2009年，カナダから11名の教育関係者を招き，神戸カナダ教育文化交流事業学校訪問を主催。
　2011年まで兵庫県，兵庫県教育委員会，神戸市，神戸市教育委員会，ＮＨＫ神戸放送局，朝日新聞社，毎日新聞社，読売新聞社，産経新聞社，神戸新聞社，サンテレビ，ラジオ関西，日本聖書協会などが後援してくださいました。

Q: What kind of events had we done before the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami?
A: We established the study group to support the refugee applicant of Myanmar and also conducted the lecture of “Support for refugees from the bottom”. We held the first Iraq exhibition in Tarumizu, Kobe City. We exhibited a panel of lives of Iraqi people and handmade picture books and reported about the real situation on the ground. In 2005, we organized “The tenth years of the Earthquake. Think about the importance of lives together” by Mr. Shigeaki Hinohara, and “Think about the future of Japan” by the former president of Bank of Japan, Masaru Hayami. We screened the film “Mother Teresa” at the Kobe Cultural Hall. In 2009, we invited 11 educational officials from Canada and conducted the Kobe-Canada educational exchange program to visit schools.
We have been sponsored by Hyogo Prefecture, Hyogo Educational Committee, Kobe City, Kobe Educational Committee, NHK Kobe Branch, Asahi Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun, Kobe Shimbun, Sun TV, Radio Kansai, and Japan Bible Society and others until 2011.

Q：どんな活動をしていますか

Q: What kind of activities are we doing every month?
A: The Tohoku earthquake and tsunami occurred at 2:46 pm on March 11, 2011. Three days later, we started to prepare volunteer work. Through coexistence with people of Watanoha, Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, the Kobe International Sustaining Organization (former name was the Kobe International Supporting Organization) was established in September 2011.  We changed the word “supporting” to “sustaining”.

For the recovery of natural ecology that was forgotten because of pursuing greedy wealth, we continue volunteering for agriculture, forestry, fishery, roadside improvement, and listening to people continuously every month.

We visit not only Miyagi Prefecture, but also Fukushima Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture, flood damage in Tanba, %Random_Link%, Kumamoto-Oita earthquake，heavy rain in the north part of Kyushu, Western Japan Flood, Saga, and Chiba.

We also go for overseas natural disaster-affected areas such as China, Philippines, Vanuatu, Nepal, Vietnam, Syria, Indonesia, and Ghana for their restoration, reconstruction, and resurrection. We are constructing facilities for orphans. Foster parents in Japan will support the education expenses 3,000 yen a month until the orphan becomes an adult through “Kayoko Fund”. Young volunteers, who participated in Tohoku, services victims, and children who lost their parents, homes, and friends.

We also work hard for the cycle of natural ecology that of “Resurrection of Rice Field, Mountain, and Bay”.

Since the summer of 3.11, we do agriculture, forestry, and fishery volunteers every month, and from June of the following year, we operate the listening volunteer at Watanoha, Ishinomaki City for rebuilding the town.

The organization is also working, as a member of the Hyogo Youth Services Administration (Youth group council affiliated organization), for the youth generation who are responsible for the future of Japan to have experience in activities.
During the visit of the 1st Vanuatu, the 1st Nepal, and the 1st Vietnam in 2015, our administrative director of the organization went to do relief activities for children with the letters of Mr. Toshizo Ido, Governor of Hyogo Prefecture and Hisamoto Kizo, Mayor of Kobe City.

Q : 国内では何をしてきましたか
Ａ：毎週，機構の東北ボランティア参加者の有志は，神戸市東遊園地[市役所隣]で炊き出しを2014年4月から開始。阪神・淡路大震災により家族，仕事，家を失った人たちと共生します。「路上で生活をしている人」(英語 Bag people《身の回りの物を紙袋に入れて持ち歩く様子から》）が生活，就労できるようにお手伝いさせていただきます。
　就労として機構が契約している神戸市西区友清の田畑で共に土を耕し，無農薬,有機により作物を栽培し，収穫したものを食べていく自産自消(じさんじしょう) 「自分で作って，自分で食べる（消費する）」を目指します。
　2012年4月23日，亀山紘宮城県石巻市長の講演会を神戸文化大ホールで開催。2015年9月16日，第2次ネパール・ボランティアに参加した大学生2名は兵庫県県民会館で報告会をしました。

Q: What do we do in Japan?
A: Since April 2014, our Tohoku volunteer participants started every week food distribution at Kobe City Higashi Amusement Park (next to the city hall). We live together with people who lost their families, works, and homes by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. We help “people live on the street (in English ‘Bag people’, from the figure that people walking with carrying their personal belongings in paper bags) to make living and finding work.

We seek to eat food that we cultivate ourselves “自産自消 (cultivate by yourself and eat by yourself)” together while cultivating and growing organic, non-pesticide corps on the farm ground at Tomokiyo Nishi-Ku Kobe City, which the organization contracts it as the place for people to work.

On April 23, 2012, we conducted a lecture by Hiroshi Kameyama, Mayor of Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, at the Kobe Cultural Hall. On September 16, 2015, two university students, who participated in the 2nd Nepal Volunteer, reported about their experience at the Hyogo Prefectural Hall.

Q :  毎月，どんな継続した集いがありますか
Ａ： 日本で一番貧しい労働者がいる釜ヶ崎と連帯する講座として本田哲郎セミナー（毎月第三金曜日午前10時）を開催。神戸新聞会館で，「『死』を考える」講座を2011年4月から依頼されました。「Let’s 農林漁」（毎月第4土午前10時）で無農薬，有機の農法を学習。食育について保田 茂講師から若者たちが学び，兵庫県神戸市西区，宮城県石巻市の田畑で実践しています。反収(たんしゅう)あたりの経済能率，効率を追い求める農業に決別を告げます。農薬，化学肥料は日本人の健康を損なうばかりか自然生態をだめにしています。「田(た)・山(やま)・湾(わん)の復活」を掲げ，里山，里海主義です。米国「Fortune誌」の調査 中小企業白書では会社の寿命は5年程度にすぎません。
　若者の就活において，就農(しゅうのう)，就漁(りょう)，就樵(しょう)がよりよいと判断できるように，講座，啓蒙，実践します。日本のみならず，地球が豊かな自然，資源，エネルギーを活用し，住みやすい，安心，平和な郷土にします。

Q: Do we have a regular monthly gathering?
A: We conduct the seminar by Tetsuro Honda (10 am on the third Friday of every month) as a lecture to cooperate with Kamagasaki where has the poorest workers in Japan. At the Kobe Shimbun Hall, we continue the course of “think about the ‘death’” since April 2011. Also, we study non-pesticide and organic agricultural methods at the “Let’s do agriculture, forestry, and fishery (10 am on the fourth Saturday of every month)” course. We break up the agricultural methods that pursue economic benefit and efficiency of production per field. Pesticides and chemical fertilizers destroy not only the health of the Japanese people but also the natural ecology. We rise up the “Resurrection of Rice Field, Mountain, and Bay”, and we are naturalist with local mountains and seas. According to the white paper on small and medium-sized businesses survey of the US magazine “Fortune”, the average of company life is about 5 years.

We practice lectures and enlightenment so that young people can judge that farming, fishing, and hunting are better for as work. Not only Japan, but we will also make a secure and peaceful hometown where we can live comfortably while utilizing the rich nature, natural recourses, and energy of the Earth.

Q: How is the organization managed?
A: Currently, we do not collect the annual fees or any other else.

As a general rule, the seminar attendance fee is 1,000 yen. This fee is spent on the venue renting fee and the gratuity for the speakers. The participation fee for the “Let’s do agriculture, forestry, and fishery” course is 500 yen.

Registered as a general incorporated association on September 13, 2011.
If we do not establish the financial foundation of the organization, transportation expenses of the Tohoku volunteers, and management of the organization cannot be carried. In 2012, we received a subsidy so we were able to cover transportation expenses for Hyogo Prefectural Agricultural High School. However, after 2013, I have stopped applying for a subsidy. I am trying to make an effort that young people are able to go to the affected areas every month. We are supported by neighbors of our office, Tarumi Prayer Meeting, volunteer participants, enterprises, various groups, shrines and temples, churches, and many supporters’ management fees.

Q： 収益はありますか。
Ａ：神戸国際支縁支援機構は，ボランティア活動です。講座を除いて事業は行っていません。政府や関係官庁が手の届かない弱い立場の人々に対して，機構は時間，体力，物資・救援金支縁を用いて寄り添っています。災害地ボランティアでは「田・山・湾の復活」を柱に，「耕」支縁で作物（無農薬，有機）を栽培しています。神戸市東遊園地（市役所隣）の炊き出しで出会う「路上で生活をしている人」たちと協働し，神戸市西区友清で耕作するプランがあります。事務局メンバーは実費を受け取りますが，会の一部の人たちが利益を得ることがないようにします。

Q: Does the organization have any profit?
A: The Kobe International Sustaining Organization is a volunteer activity. We do not conduct any business except for providing lectures. We will support weak people, who cannot receive help from governments and related administrations, by giving time, manpower, and financial support from volunteers and generous donations. While we are doing volunteer at the affected area, we support by “cultivation” to grow pesticide-free and organic corps that based on “Resurrection of Rice Field, Mountain, and Bay”. There is a plan to do cultivation at Tomokiyo Nishi-ku in Kobe City in collaboration with “people living on the street” who we meet at food distribution activities at Higashi amusement park (next to the city hall).

Although members of the organizing committee receive the actual expenses, we try to not let some limited people can get the benefit.

Q :  会員資格について教えてください
A :　本会の主旨に賛同する方は，どなたでも入会していただき，ボランティアの交通費，働などきの維持にご協力，寄与していただくことは自由にできます。
　資格，年齢，国籍，宗教を問いません。

Q: Please tell me about your membership.
A: If you agree with our principles, anyone can join in. You also can freely cooperate and support us for transportation expenses for volunteers and maintaining our activities.

You can engage in activities regardless of your qualifications, age, nationality, and religion.

Q : 名称に神戸を用いていますが，どうしてですか
A :　神戸で始まった働きだからであり，阪神・淡路大震災を体験した地域で生まれ育った若者たちが被災地へ繰り出し始めたからです。九州，中国地方，四国，愛知県，北陸，近畿一円からも定期的にご参加くださる方たちもいます。2013年3月以降，宮城県石巻市渡波３丁目５-３７に石巻支所をつくりました。

Q: What is the reason to use “Kobe” in our organization name?A: Because it is a work that had begun in Kobe and young people, who were born and raised in the place where experienced the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, started to go to disaster-affected areas.

There are also some regular participants from Kyushu, Chugoku region, Shikoku, Aichi Prefecture, Hokuriku, and Kinki. We established the Ishinomaki branch at Watanoha Ishinomaki City in Miyagi Prefecture in March 2013 and Kumamoto Prefectural branch after July 2016.

The tsunami devastated the entire coastline of Tohoku. It may be the third-largest in the world, but it’s going to cost them billions just to start clearing up the damage. The tsunami, earthquake caused the most extensive damage to Ishinomaki.
And then the task begins trying to rebuild the city, transportation,
facilities, houses, and so on. Above all, in the current financial climate of Ishinomaki city, the rebuilding of temporal school classrooms and buildings won’t be easy.

Especially around Ishinomaki city, due to the tsunami, this looks much worse than what we experienced in Kobe, 1995, that is, sixteen years ago. Compared with the quake of Kobe, Tsunami waves that hit were as high as 20 meters. Waves came far inland, into cities such as Ishinomaki, and as a result carried back out to sea buildings, cars, infant schools, elementary schools, junior and senior schools, homes, factories, and buildings connected to the fishing industry. In Ishinomaki more than 3,280 people have been killed. Similarly, there were 6,434 fatalities in Kobe.

This is a very big blow to any industry that relies on marine products, for example, oysters, soft seaweed, and so on.

Since this March, the young in Kobe has been doing volunteer activities, dealing with  piles of debris on the street in Watanoha
town in Ishinomaki.

Above all, Oshika Peninsula is a wasteland, its streets, villages were swept away. Nothing left there. There is no normal rubbish here. You will find a large desert tract, through which wander a steady trickle of disoriented survivors.

There has been a big problem of depopulation, aging, declining birth rate. However, if it were not for the fishing-connected jobs along the coast of the peninsula, there would be men out of work. Regrettable to say, schools will disappear because of their parents` lack of income. Unfortunately, the children never feel relieved because they have to transfer to schools in the downtown area of Miyagi Prefecture. Since the pupils there have never suffered such terrible experiences, they find it difficult to have compassion for the transfer students. As a
result, some feel so lonely without the companions who went through the dreadful, critical moment together.

We would like to ask you to be part of a large international response to the disaster. What we’re lacking most are donations and the know-how
necessary to establish temporal school buildings. Moreover, to aid the recovery, we need several fishing boats for each village along the peninsula. Restoring the fishing industry is the most significant need for the reconstruction effort.
Please contribute to the Educational Board, Public Works of Ishinomaki City through Kobe International Sustaining Organization.
