If there is any assistance that can be given'Don't do' is not an option.
Information was collected in advance. We were all on standby to respond to emergencies.
Nevertheless, I could not believe my ears when Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February
2022. 'There will be mass displacement.' I had just returned from Iraq that day, I thought
as I watched CNN. But Peace Winds had no experience of working in Ukraine and had nofamiliarity with the land.
First, we sent staff with extensive experience in conflict zones to Poland, and myself to
Moldova. We found that Moldova was working hard to host displaced Ukrainians, eventhough it was not a rich country. We set up our first base in Moldova and started providing
assistance while we emailed dozens of humanitarian aid agencies in Ukraine, searchingfor organizations they could trust and work with. Fortunately, the network was uninterrupted and continue on-line meetings with partner organizations that were sheltering
underground. Emergency supplies were provided, followed by supplies in shelters in
Moldova and regular provision of medicines in Ukrainian hospitals. Medical assistance
was also provided by doctors and nurses in Moldova. The war situation was uncertain,
but in May we decided to establish our office in Moldova to continue our support. In
September, our office was opened in Kyiv, Ukraine.
In Ukraine, people who were living normal lives were suddenly caught up in the war.
People are looking forward and living strongly as 'ordinary life', where shops are open andthere is delicious food, is interrupted by 'extraordinary' with air raid warnings. If there is
support we can provide, we have no choice but not to do it, even if the hurdles are high.

Special Dialogue

The reason of moving our headquarters
to Jinsekikogen

10th anniversary of the relocation of the headquarters
to Jinsekikogen, Hiroshima

Saving the worldfrom the countryside
Kousuke Motani
Advocates 'Satoyama capitalism'

Kensuke Onishi
CEO/Chairperson of Peace Winds Japan

Peace Winds Japan moved its headquarters from Chiyoda-ku,
Tokyo, to Jinsekikogen Town, Hiroshima, in 2013. The trigger
was the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. After experiencing
the catastrophe, Onishi realised that if we were in Tokyo and anearthquake struck directly under the capital, even those of us
who should be supporting the victims would become victims ofthe disaster. Ten years have passed since that relocation. Thistime, together with Kousuke Motani, a regional economist andadvocate of 'Satoyama Capitalism' (the idea of sustaining a
regional recycling-oriented society built on human networks
and local production for local consumption), we looked at thevalue of our activities based in Jinsekikogen and the possibilities
for the future.

Ama Town

ShimanePrefecture
Hiroshima
Prefecture

Jinsekikogen Town
Fukuyama City
Imabari City

Onishi : I read your book called "Satoyama Capitalism." You areproposing a new form of local economy while I am based in a ruralarea and is creating a new form of NGO. I feel that we cancommunicate with each other. I look forward to having a dialogue
with you today.
Motani : It is my pleasure. For the past few years, I have been
watching you doing interesting things in Jinsekikogen. You aremaking things happen that city people who think 'depopulatedareas deep in the mountains will soon disappear' can't evenimagine. It seems like glocal (thinking globally and acting locally),
and it's really exciting that you are working on something that isboth global and extremely local.
Onishi : Thank you. Glocal, global and local. That may be true.
Motani : Jinsekikogen is a plateau about 500-700 m above sea level,
just up a steep hill from Fukuyama City on the Seto Inland Sea, isn't
it? There are many villages that have lived a self-sufficient lifestyleand are now suffering from depopulation. A number of rich products
are produced, such as Japanese tama-konnyaku, milk and yoghurt,
honey from Japanese honeybees, etc., and each of these products
has its own business. You have a base for disaster relief helicoptersand other equipment in the middle of such a natural environment.
Why did you decide to move the headquarters to Jinsekikogen?
Onishi : This is a historical story, but the Kamakura Shogunate
deliberately created its own center away from Kyoto. Thanks to this,the samurai tradition was established, and Japanese culture wasno longer solely the culture of the nobles, but became a composite.
I thought that deliberately moving away from the center andrethinking things, and having power there, is still valid today.
And the most important reason for relocating was the looming
earthquake. Tokyo has the potential to be hit by an earthquake directly
under the capital, so we thought that we could not save many people
if we ourselves were to become victims. Jinsekikogen is far awayfrom Tokyo, and even if a Nankai Trough earthquake were to occur,
there would be no tsunami because it is a plateau.
Motani : So that's what it was all about. You have recently expanded
your activities to the town of Ama in Shimane Prefecture. What are
your intentions?
Onishi : Every time we operate in conflict zones, we create our own

03 PEACE WINDS

logistics (a system that aims to optimize logistics, fromsecuring supplies to handover). This is because it is ofparamount importance in relief operations. Based on thisexperience, we decided to create the logistics for support
beforehand, connecting the Sea of Japan side (Ama Town) andthe Seto Inland Sea side (Jinsekikogen Town).
Motani : I see. In Jinsekikogen, there are pilots and doctors who
are going out into the world living there together, aren't there?
What do they think about being based in Jinsekikogen?
Onishi : At first, they had no idea what Jinsekikogen was like,but they soon realized how good we are in Jinsekikogen.
We are now dispatching doctors and nurses to remote clinics andlocal hospitals free of charge or at a low cost. That's how weusually support local healthcare and the community and they
thank us for it. Especially at the time of COVID-19, we were involved
in infection control from an early stage (January 2020), so we wereable to contribute to the community by taking on the role ofpreventing the cluster from spreading further when it broke out atfacilities in the prefecture, at the request of Hiroshima Prefecture.
Motani : At the time, it was all over the news in Japan that "We
don't have enough protective clothing!" and then I thought thatthe news had suddenly stopped being reported, but in fact
Peace Winds had donated a large amount of protective clothing.
Onishi : Yes, we also donated 1.5 million masks (in Japan and abroad).
We had long thought that a variant of bird flu or SARS would
come one day, so we started stockpiling protective clothing andmasks in the Saga Airport warehouse about five years before the
COVID-19 epidemic broke out. We hadstocked up at least enough to cope at theevacuation centres we would be involved
with, and they were very useful.
Motani : It is true that stockpiling inTokyo is expensive, but in rural areas it
Disaster medical aid ship finallyis possible to stockpile at low cost.
I feel that Japan has a good balance launched!
between the 'centripetal force' that tries to gather power in thecapital and the 'centrifugal force' that tries to move from theregions. No matter how centrifugal forces work, Japan has,interestingly, historically not experienced internal divisions. Evenat the time of the Meiji Restoration, the Satcho Dohi, who came
to power, could said: 'The Edo Shogunate is no more. Let's build
a prosperous country locally on our own!" But they went all theway to Tokyo and defeated the Shogunate. Because Japan had

centrifugal force, they were able to study hard and build up theirskills locally, and because they had centripetal force, they
thought they could do something about the Shogunate in thecenter. I think the idea of making effective use of Japan's original
centrifugal force is the backbone of Satoyama Capitalism.

How to face conflicts where centripetal
forces are not working
Motani : On the other hand, I feel that in the world where you areactive, especially in conflict zones, centripetal force does notseem to work very well. The country is being torn apart between
those who try to increase centripetal force through coercion
and those who oppose it through centrifugal force.

Onishi : What was happening in Iraq and Afghanistan may havebeen a "personal matter". But I think that war has suddenly
become closer to us. When I left Kosovo, I thought that there
would be no war in Europe in my lifetime, but I was turned
upside down. I was naive.

Disaster medical aid ship finally launched!
Onishi : It is important to be prepared for such an event so that

Onishi : How can we slow down conflict? We have experienced
many negotiations with the parties to the conflict, in situations
where if we failed we would be killed. We have also negotiatedwith al-Qaida in Iraq.

you do not regret being naive.
No one knows when the Nankai Trough earthquake will hit, but
history has shown us that 18 years after a tsunami hit the
Tohoku region during the Sadakan Earthquake in the Heianperiod (794-1185), the Nankai Trough earthquake back thenoccurred. This is a provisional calculation, but if we add 18
years to 2011, the year is 2029. It means we should do our best
to be prepared by then.

Motani : How do you negotiate?

Motani : 2029... only six years to go.

Onishi : They are not that hostile towards
the Japanese. Both the Taliban and
al-Qaida asked me, "What do you think ofAmerica?" and I said. 'My father wasbombed by American fighters when he Onishi working in a KurdishTurkish refugee camp in Duhok,
was a child. He was machine-gunned
northern Iraq (1997).
when he was struggling for food andwas picking tsukushi and wildflowers to fill his stomach. The pilot
was said to have been smiling and laughing. I am his son. You
know how it feels." And they said, "I know exactly how that feels".

Onishi : There is only so much people can do in six years, so
we have to be focused and prepared.

Motani : They never see war as a bad thing.

Motani : Many people are concerned about the Nankai Troughearthquake, but there is no guarantee that it will not be linked toan earthquake directly under the capital or an earthquake off
Ibaraki Prefecture. The Sagami Trough could move and cause
the Great Kanto Earthquake to occur in tandem, or Mt Fuji could
explode. So before saying "I'm scared, I'm in trouble", some say
it is important to have a place where people can evacuate fromthe city so that they don't have to fight over supplies together
when the time comes.

Onishi : They just think the US is the enemy. I have found theconscience axis in their culture and negotiated with them.
The conscience axis is, for example, shame. If they say, 'Isn't
that shameful?' then they will stop doing that. Once, when wewere transporting food for an orphanage, we were attacked bya group of armed Kurds. In Kurdish, the word for 'shame' is'aiba', and I said to them in Kurdish, 'Isn't it aiba that takes away
the food from the orphanage?' Then they did not take the food,they let us through the road.

Onishi : Right. I think that planned and rapid evacuation isnecessary, but it is difficult to escape across the border
between prefectures. There are also financial problems and it isvery difficult to survive in an unfamiliar place. Even during theGreat East Japan Earthquake, a large-scale project to evacuate
people across prefectural borders was not organized, and many
people stayed in the affected areas. So there was not enoughfood, and in the evacuation centres we were involved in, people
had one meal a day for two weeks.

Motani : I see, so you have continued these negotiations. But
just when we thought that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had
calmed down a little, the invasion of Ukraine started.

Motani : So we have to think and act now. Instead of leaving itto the government, we, the private sector and individuals,
should do what we can.
Special Dialogue : ANNUAL REPORT 2022 04

Onishi : As a specific initiative of Peace Winds, we are currently
building a disaster medical aid ship. Right now (as of May 2023), it isbeing maintained in Malaysia. Until now, helicopters and airplanes
have been used to get to disaster sites, but after a day or two they run
out of fuel, and food and medicine can quickly run out, so we believedifficulties with the rights. As is the case with the disaster medical aid
ship, if we can create a flow of human and financial resources so thatthe private sector can take on the public part, it will make it very easy
for us in the private sector to move around.

that a medical ship that can carry heavy items would be effective.
Motani : When did you come up with the idea of a medical ship?
Onishi : During the 2004 earthquake off thecoast of Sumatra, Indonesia, I saw a Singapore
Armed Forces corvette (a ship of about 1,000
tonnes) in action. The corvettes with helipads
and helicopters were working together to carrydrinking water and other supplies. We were thereat the same time, but our logistics capacity was
so weak that it took two weeks to get the trucks
into the area. That's when I realized that the
combination of ship and helicopter wasincredibly powerful.

Motani : As for funds, many people may donate because theyempathize with Peace Winds' activities.

Disaster medical aid ship.
Scheduled to be operationalfrom autumn 2023.

Motani : When will the medical ship start up?
Onishi : The commissioning ceremony is scheduled to take place inJuly (2023), and its home port is Imabari. It weighs 3,400 tonnes andis 68 m long and 17.4 m wide.
* A commissioning ceremony was held in Imabari on 2 July 2023.

Motani : It's about the size of a giant ferry! So if a Nankai Troughearthquake hits, you can go from Imabari to help.

Kohsuke Motani
Regional Economist

ProfileBorn in Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1964. Regional Economist.
Chief Senior Economist at Japan Research Institute. Visited at
his own expense all of the approximately 3,200 municipalities
before the Great Mergers in the Heisei era and 95 foreigncountries. He has a multifaceted understanding of regional
characteristics and actively researches, writes and lectures onregional development and population issues. His publications
include Defure no Shotai (Non-monetary Deflation in Japan),
Satoyama Capitalism, and Sekai Machikado Chiseigaku (The
Geopolitics of the World Street Corners).

Onishi : In the future, the fleet will be developed before the Nankai
Trough earthquake hits. To give a bit of history, in 16th-century
Europe, 'privateers' (authorized pirates with permission from the state
to attack enemy ships and take their cargo. In Japan, they are called
privateers), kept order at sea. It would be difficult to make a modern
version as it is, but I would like to bring the 'privatia' back to life in themodern age by training professionals who can protect the sea andthe environment and rescue people from disasters.
Motani : Okay, it sounds like Thunderbirds, a special effects puppet
show produced in the UK in the 1960s. The British idea of a familysaving the world from disasters by flying their own rockets and planes
may have been difficult for Japanese people of the time, including
myself, to understand. But when I think that you are now creating thatvery difficult operation, I think it is truly amazing.
Onishi : In fact, I am of the generation that adored 'Thunderbirds', so I
wanted to name the medical team that would fly in the event of adisaster the 'Thunderbird Team', but gave up the idea because of

05 PEACE WINDS

Empathy is the power to move people

Onishi : Right. Recently, we have seen an increase in 'bequest' type
donations. In many cases, we don't have the chance to talk to theperson because we often find out about it after they have passed
away. In English, it is called a 'legacy gift', and we would be grateful if
we could talk to the person about how they would like to leave theirlegacy, preferably before they die.
Motani : There is a real sense that a very large private philanthropy, an
economy for the public, is now starting to take off.
Onishi : Right. The estimated total amount of individual donations inJapan (in 2020) is around 1.2 trillion yen when including hometown tax
payments (of which hometown tax payments account for about half).
The US, on the other hand, has over 40 trillion yen at the current rate.
Motani : The US has a population just under three times the size ofJapan's, so donations are about ten times the size of Japan's. It would not
be surprising if Japan had a donation market of around 10 trillion yen. In
Satoyama Capitalism, I have also argued that the economy andcapitalism are said to be growing rapidly, but the earth is finite. What many
people want is not endless growth, but the regeneration of the cycle.
Onishi : I think 'circulation' is a very important point in Satoyama
Capitalism. We would like to add 'empathy' and sympathetic capitalist
flows to it.
Motani : So you don't put money around because you make money,
but because you put money around something that you both share.
Onishi : For example, if you want to maintain this in the community, or
if this way of thinking resonates with you, or if you have been healed
there, empathy has the power to move people.
Motani : That's right. The field of empathy differs from person toperson, but if we can only stop people from destroying what they don't
empathize with, we can help everyone through various webs of
empathy. For example, Peace Winds is involved in the Peace Wanko
Project, and while some people may or may not empathize with thezero culling of dogs, if we can gather empathy, we can help the dogs.
Onishi : Empathy is easier said than done, but it is also a little moredifficult. We believe that empathy requires surprise, like a so-calledshock. We named a dog that was on the verge of being culled'Yumenosuke' and trained it to be a search and rescue dog. We thought
it would surprise many people if a dog that wasalmost culled by humans saved human lives.
As a result, the response was more emotionaland empathetic than we had expected.
Motani : Indeed. A change in attitudes towards
money has recently been evident, with more
and more people thinking:'It's not good justcollecting money. If I have money, I should
spend it on something empathetic." It may bethat Japan's donation culture will grow in the
future, while accepting shocks and surprises.

Yumenosuke, a former wild dog
that worked as a search andrescue dog to save people's lives.

Peace Winds "makes the impossible possible"
Motani : In such a society, NGOs and NPOs can act on behalf of thestate and raise large sums of money to move things that the statecannot do. How do you want Peace Winds to gain the empathy ofmany people in the future?

Onishi : There are social issues that many people think are impossible
to solve, but that are difficult to solve from the government's
perspective, but can be solved by a 'non-governmental' and 'non-profit'
private sector such as ourselves. Just as the Kamakura Shogunate
made history away from Kyoto, or the Thunderbirds flew around theworld to save people from disasters, Peace Winds wants to be anorganisation that "makes the impossible possible." First of all, we havethe urgent task of preparing for the Nankai Trough earthquake, butthere are still many things we want to work on, such as preparing forcontingencies in East Asia (the Pacific Concept), eliminating the cullingof dogs in Japan, and spreading impact investment in Japan, so we willcontinue to be sincere and innovative. From now on, I would like tofocus on reporting on disasters and conflicts that are not reported by
the mass media, and I would like to enhance our owned media andstrengthen our ability to communicate so that many people canempathise with us. We also aim to become a 'social innovation
platform' that confronts diverse issues.
Motani : Like in Thunderbirds, I think I will do mybest for the world, even though I am in the private
sector. Centripetal force might be empathy.

Adoption Activities

In the 10 years since we started ourassistance, more and more dogs havebecome difficult to transfer due toillness, disability or old age. The kennels
have been extended for dogs that will
live in the shelter for the rest of theirlives. Night-time lighting, air-conditioning
and a dog run have been improved toprovide a better environment for the dogs.

Many of the dogs that we protected
were wild dogs, but when dogs aretrained with love at the right timing andin the right way, they can develop trustand communication with humans. We
continue to provide regular trainings for
newly-joined staff to learn about how toapproach to and train those dogs andshare good practices with the new staff.

In FY2022, adoption activities struggled, partly due to thehigh cost of living, but recognition of shelter dogs is gradually
spreading throughout society, and staff continue to take on
the challenge of expanding adoptions by devising new ways
to match them. 3,600 dogs had graduated to new families by
the end of FY2022. In Jinsekikogen Town, where the shelters
are located, a reunion of graduated dogs was held for the firsttime in three years, bringing together more than 150 pairs offoster parents and Peace Wanko's graduated dogs.

Orange Kennel ?

By love,
Life shining again.

Orange kennel is one of thekennels in Jinsekikogen
Shelter. It is a special kennel
for dogs that need special
nursing and care, such as
those with chronic illnesses,
those with disabilities andelderly dogs. There are
currently about 30 dogs
living there, and the staff take great care of each dog by cooking
and feeding them food, taking them for walks, giving them intravenous drips and examinations, and taking care of them according
to their individual conditions.

Peace Wanko Staff

Suzuka Ishibashi
Joined Peace Winds in 2022. Pet animal nurse.

How is Kenzo(the dog in the picture) like?
Kenzo is a dog that was rescued from an animal welfare center in
2022. He used to have an owner, but was abandoned and iscared for by us. He loves to go for walks and loves people. He isa very charming old dog with a characteristic bark. A post-protection health examination revealed that he has dermatitis,
cataracts, filariasis and hypothyroidism.

What is hypothyroidism?
The thyroid gland, located near the throat, is an organ that
regulates metabolism. When the thyroid gland produces too few
hormones, it results in a failure of the thyroid gland to metabolize
properly. In dogs, the disease is characterized by symptoms
such as hair loss at the tips of the tail and tiredness. Kenzo wastreated with medication for filariasis and hypothyroidism and his
condition has gradually stabilized. His severe dermatitis has
been treated with a therapeutic diet that is effective for skin care,and his skin is now well conditioned.
19 PEACE WINDS

In addition to day-to-day care, are there
any other important things you do?
As in other kennels, in addition to feeding, walking and roomcleaning, all dogs' vitals are checked daily and assistance isprovided with any necessary treatment, under the direction of theveterinary surgeon. The staff share the care of each dog witheach other, as they have individual treatment schedules, such as
dogs that need specific tests or other services on a regular basis.
Even the Orange Kennels' children with illnesses and disabilities
have their own individual personalities that sparkle and shine.
Some are difficult and stubborn grandfathers, others are honest
and innocent, others like to get into mischief, and all of themshow us their various sides when we take care of them on a daily
basis. All of them are adorable. And as different dogs like tospend their time in different ways, we also make it a point tocommunicate with each and every one of them.

How do you feel when you have to attend
the death of a dog in your care?
Because we don't know when we will have to say goodbye tothese dogs, we want to do everything we can to love and care forthem, right up to the very end. When I first joined Peace Winds, I
felt full of regrets because I was too devoted to their treatment. "Ishould have been there for her more then. I should have playedwith her." I had so many regrets and felt so frustrated. Now, I don't
let those regrets go to waste, so I spend more time with dogs
who love people. For the ones who love food, I give them good
food. For the dogs who like to be outside, I make a conscious
effort to create a comfortable environment as much as possible
by putting down bedding in the run when the weather is nice.

How do you feel
when orange kennel's dogs graduate?
Even though I work at the orange kennel, where sadness
is more common than at other kennels, that is why I want thedogs living here to feel as much 'happiness' as possible. The
moment we send them off is a little sad, but the time we canspend with each dog is inevitably limited, so we are really happy
when they graduate to their foster parents.
When I see the dogs that come to visit me with their foster
parents, they look more peaceful. When I see them living happily
with their foster families who care for them, I feel even more
grateful to the foster parents who found them out of so manydogs to become a family with them.

Until wild biting dogs
open up to people.
What is human familiarization training?
An important step before adoption

Most of the dogs we shelter are wild dogs.

Case of Pachel
Pachel is a former wild dog.
Growing up without any contact withhumans, the three-year-old girl dog wasvery timid compared to other dogs andalways ran away from people. On the firstday of training, as soon as we entered theroom, she ran to the corner of the room atonce. She continued to run away in theroom when the staff walked by and went
into her crate and never came out. We
slowly approached her and stroked herback little by little,
telling her that she
was not afraid. Aftera long period of
stroking, she finallycalmed down a little.

Some of these dogs are afraid of humans
and show aggression.
Training of scared and wary dogs can be
dangerous and requires more care
and advanced techniques.
No matter what kind of dog we have,
if we don't give up and give them love,
we believe we will get through to them.
And the dogs will meet new families.
With this belief in mind,
we continue to provide human familiarization
training on those dogs today.

However, when we tried to touch a
different part of her body, she barked
again! She bared its teeth at us andthreatened to bite. However, when we
looked closely, we found that she wasonly threatening and had no intention ofbiting. She seemed to be just scared.
Even experienced staff members are at
risk of being bitten if they are not careful,so we put on special gloves to prevent
injury and carefully train the dog little bylittle. On this day, we managed to put alead on her, but she remained frozen on
the spot and did not seem to be able towalk away, so that was it for the first day.

Training Day 2:
One step forward andone step backward
She seemed to be in a worse mood thanusual on this day. We put the lead on
slowly, telling her it was okay, but she
growled menacingly. She showed heranger and tried to chew the lead off. After
waiting for a while, she calmed down but
was still showing strong resistance to thelead. We tried taking her out of the kennel
in a different location, but she became
violent and would not calm down. We
ended the training at this point, as shewould not like the lead if we continued.

Walking Practice
By the end of the first month of training,
she is no longer violent and is much moreused to being stroked. She still has a
habit of unconsciously showing her teeth,
so we also put a muzzle on her to keep
her safe. When we put it on, it is a very
nerve-wracking moment for us becauseof the possibility of being bitten. We
slowly put the muzzle on while observing
her reactions so that she don't have ascary impression of it. The next step is topractice lifting the legs for a walk.
Practice lifting the paws little by little,
starting from the tips of the front paws,
while stroking them. She was able to lift
her right paw, then her left paw and so on.
Now that she is much more familiar withthe lead, we will try walking practice.
To avoid making her anxious, we did not
go outside suddenly, but went back andforth along the long corridor in the kennel
at first. We repeated this many times until
Pachel got used to the walks.

Pachel,Finally Smiling..!
At the end of five months, she was finallyable to be carried safely without a muzzle
or gloves. Also, thanks to the training, she
is now able to go for walks outside!
I can no longer imagine her running awayfrom people with such a fearful look on her
face as she walks. She now understands
that she no longer needs to defend herself
by intimidating people. "Any dog canunderstand each other. The moment whena former wild dog, who used to bare its
teeth, is now able to walk like this is a very
happy moment," said our staff.
It takes a long time to train a dog that isfrightened and intimidated by people. It
can take several months at the shortest,
and even a year or more at the longest.
The staff train them patiently and lovingly.
We will continue to bring smiles like
Pachel's to many more. We hope she will
one day find a happy family, too. Thankyou all for your continued support!

results and insurance information among staff has also become
more efficient. The electronic medical record is also set up on
computers and tablet terminals for house calls purchased with agrant from a private foundation. We will use this to try to makefurther contributions to community healthcare, such as homehealthcare and online medical care.

A library of contemporary art books, catalogs and video
materials has been completed in Toyoshima. The materials werecollected and donated to Peace Winds by a person who has beenin contact with art professionals from around the world for over
30 years. The library is highly regarded by experts as a rare find,as it contains many items that have never been on the market.
The plan is to digitally archive more than 10,000 of these valuable
materials so that they can be widely used for research on
artworks and artists in the field of art history.
