Suppose one of your farmer friends owns a piece of land. He told you - he will not do anything to cultivate his land, but the crop will grow automatically. Surely you think he's crazy, or he's crazy. You can scold him for being lazy. But, such a lazy farmer brought a great revolution in agriculture with his philosophy of laziness. One of the proverbs in the history of global agriculture is thought to be who. He is a Japanese farmer, philosopher Masanubo Fukuoka.
He was born on February 2, 1913, in the small town of Yeo on Shikoku Island, sixteen miles west of Matsuyama, Japan. It can be said that it belongs to the Banedi family. His father was the mayor of that city. The amount of land they had was not too small. Masanubo's father, Kameichi Fukuoka, used to cultivate a small variety of orange on that land. Kamechi knew little reading, read up to class eight. Masanubo's mother was also educated.
He thought of spending that education on the spiritual development of the family. Despite being quite prosperous, they never let the children feel the touch of luxury.
Masanubo's primary education is in his hometown. However, in high school he went to Matsuyama to study. Bicycle train station, from there by train to Matsuyama town station and then walk the rest of the way. As a student, Masanubo was mediocre, inattentive. There is no mind in class lectures.I liked only literature class. The teacher of literature used to say, "Choose five friends who will be deeply saddened by your death." These philosophies fascinated him, he thought.
