Behind the Cover

eco+waza Vol.12 Winter 2010 is now on its way to the bookstores in Tokyo.

The cover will look like this.

We took the photos at a Kominka (old house), in front of an Irori (fireplace).

The featured article is about Green Cleaning.

in Japan, it is a traditional custom to clean all around your home before New Years,

so we asked for green cleaning advice to Ms. Fumiko Nose,

a woman in Koganei-shi who has been active in the "use soap" movement.

Read more on our magazine :-)

So see how small the person on the cover is.

Can you find her? 

Here she is!!



The broom is hand-made by Naomi, our editor.

Now this is one kind of "waza"...
