Description: The Japan Chernobyl Foundation (JCF), an officially- approved Japanese Non-Profit Organization (NPO), collects donations to help victims of the Japan earthquake and nuclear accident. JCF was established in 1991 to provide aid, largely through medical treatment, in areas that were affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986. Since that accident, many children with leukemia and other illnesses have been unable to receive sufficient medical care, due in part to serious economic trouble; many have also died from infectious disease due to poor hygiene. JCF, working closely with doctors in the affected areas, and in cooperation with medical professionals from Shinshu University and other institutions, has been involved in many humanitarian projects. In 2004, JCF expanded its support to include Iraq, a country that has seen a sharp increase in leukemia cases since the Gulf War. Subsequent economic sanctions and armed conflict in that region have led to shortages in medical care and to the loss of life.

Description: Gensuikyo was formed in 1955 at the height of anti-nuclear-testing movement in Japan. While the group protests nuclear warfare and advocates for the human rights of atomic bomb and nuclear testing victims, its reluctance to support a comprehensive ban on nuclear armament and unwillingness to renounce non-arms use of nuclear energy led to the separation and formation of another organization, Gensuikin, in 1965. Since its founding Gensuikyo has developed many forms of action to achieve three basic goals: 1) the prevention of nuclear war, 2) a ban on and the elimination of nuclear weapons, 3) relief for and solidarity with the Hibakusha, the A-bomb sufferers, through the annual World Conference Against A & H Bombs, which takes place every August, constant and nationwide signature campaigns for a ban on nuclear weapons, and other events and actions in cooperation with the Hibakusha to publicize the damage and health effects of the A-bombings to the general public.

Description: The Japan Congress Against A- and H-Bombs (GENSUIKIN) is an anti-nuclear advocacy group with its organizational roots in the anti-nuclear armament movement of the 1950s. The group's focus has since expanded to include protest against the use of nuclear energy and promotion of clean energy. GENSUIKIN was established in 1965, and is one of Japan's largest anti-nuclear and peace movement organizations. The group sponsors two major annual events: a public rally held in March, "3-1 Bikini Day," commemorates the crew of the fishing boat Daigo Fukuryu-Maru (Lucky Dragon), which was exposed to fallout from nuclear testing at Bikini in 1954; the World Congress Against A- and H-Bombs is held in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, the month when atomic bombs were dropped on those cities. The group's core activities include efforts to foster solidarity with anti-nuclear activists around the world; anti-nuclear pro-peace campaigns; various initiatives toward a nuclear-free society; and activities in support of radiation victims. The organization's position is based on the understanding that human beings and "nukes" can never be compatible.

Description: This website aims to introduce you to the Japanese “Slow Living Movement.” In July 1999, ten or so people got together in Tokyo and started the Sloth Club. It became a catalyst of the so-called “Slow Life” movement in Japan, whose creed is “slow is beautiful." Some ten years later, the Sloth Club still exists and the word “slow” has become widely recognized. Slow can be understood to mean alternative, sustainable, ecological, local, and happy. Slow means “to connect”," with other people, with nature, etc. In the last ten years, we have witnessed positive changes all over Japan. The concept of slow has made an impact on many aspects of the society. The movement, for example, encouraged people to start acknowledging the richness of rural life and communities. Many like-minded groups have also formed to address issues as diverse as nuclear disarmament, peace between Japan and Korea, decentralization, and pollution. The movement as a whole is creating a new sustainable and ecological culture.
