“「Shiho-shiri」”
「Disease does not occur in four
directions and four
miles」 Do you
know the word and what it means?
4miles is approximately 16 kilometres in numerical terms.
In this case, it means as far as your own feet can reach and indicates the four neighbouring municipalities.
Eating locally grown, seasonal food within one’s own reach is the best way to stay healthy, an idea that is linked to the Buddhist concept of shin-do-funi(That the human body and the land are inseparably linked. The idea that eating food from the land in its season is good for one’s health.)
