So, we went ahead and did the work for you, and listed the best fall Instagram captions to use this year! But a photo is only as good as its' caption (so we like to say), and coming up with one can sometimes stump even the most creative people. In Weathering with You, the protagonists decide that a Tokyo under several metres of water is a price worth paying – perhaps more young Japanese people are deciding that it’s not.Fall is arguably the best season for Instagram pics! Those days spent apple picking, the gorgeous fall foliage, and those vibrant fall sweaters are literally begging for you to take out your phone and snap a photo! So, don't fight it! Go ahead and get that Insta-worthy shot. Japan’s Fridays For Future faction (the global movement started by Thunberg) may have attracted comparatively few demonstrators in September, but it was a huge increase since its first demonstration in March, which barely amassed 100 people. However, there are signs things might be changing slowly. In Japan it’s sometimes known as the silver democracy – a system run by grey haired men for grey haired men.Īll of this has conspired to put a dampener on climate activism in the country. “It's more like a hereditary system than a system which would change by the active engagement of the citizens,” says Buchmeier. Political power in Japan is often concentrated in political families and passed on from father to son.
Buchmeier puts this in part down to the gap between politicians and bureaucrats, and the people. The reluctance towards confrontation is compounded by the feeling that such action would achieve little of substance. Japan’s schooling system is recognised to encourage conformity and obedience above critical thinking and debate, she notes. Some teachers get offended when they get questions from students because it disturbs the harmony in the classroom,” she says.
“In Japan, students are not supposed to ask questions of the teacher. “It starts from the classroom,” says Saki Mizoroki, a reporter at BuzzFeed Japan who is currently studying a PhD in media. But the lack of activism is indicative of a more pervasive climate apathy among young people too.Ī 2016 Pew Research survey found that, contrary to other countries like the UK, it was older (75 per cent of those aged 50 and older), not younger Japanese citizens (59 per cent aged 18 to 34), who are the most worried about global warming. Japan’s organisers for the September climate strike even translated the action as a “climate march” rather than strike to appear less confrontational. This relative lack of engagement is partly down to the stigmatisation of strikes and protests, which are seen as adjacent to criminal activity in the country. In comparison, more than 1.5 million people took to the streets in Italy, and 1.4 million in Germany. About 5,000 people in Japan (a country of 165 million) took part, more than half of whom marched in Tokyo. Recent articles in the Japan Times and the Tokyo Review have questioned why a greater number of young Japanese people didn’t turn out to attend the climate strikes that attracted 7.6 million people across 185 countries in September last year. But in Japan, this strain of climate defeatism isn’t so out of place.
