Abstract
Permaculture lies at a double edge: it proposes a countercultural vision that is materialised at the hidden confines of Japan’s rural territory. From those cultural and territorial edges, it becomes possible to discreetly dissociate from the mainstream and experiment with novel visions and sustainability transformations at the individual- and farm-scale levels. It is not (yet) possible to quantify permaculture and, it is no less challenging to qualitatively unveil its importance, as it has instigated both drastic shifts and subtle changes, and because the people and places it inspires do not always publicly claim their affiliation to the permaculture movement. Still, permaculture has served some deep life reorientations and is quite dramatically re-designing some of Japan’s rural landscapes going feral in the context of depopulation and food commodification.
