What does it mean to live sustainably in a society that has long thought carefully about impermanence, restraint, and care?

Eco Philosophy is a newsletter at the intersection of ecofeminist thought and Japanese sustainability culture. Each issue draws on philosophy, environmental research, and the author’s years of lived experience in Japan to examine how gender, ecology, and everyday practice are quietly entangled — and what that might mean for how we think about the future.

This is not a lifestyle guide. It is an attempt at honest inquiry: into the ideas, the contradictions, and the questions that don’t resolve neatly.
