Today, only one country in the world continues to conduct whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary: Japan.
There was a time in Japan during the food shortage hardships of the postwar period when whale meat was taken as a valuable source of protein. We are alive today thanks in a very real sense to this gift, so should we not reach out in gratitude to whales now and seek a path of peaceful coexistence? This is the message behind a beautiful new animated work by director Yamamura Koji. I hope you enjoy the video…
