However, Nakayama Yasunao sees the Jomon period as &#8220;a symbol of the most refined spiritual civilization.&#8221; There was no monetary economy or ruling structure, and instead, there existed a &#8220;cosmic society&#8221; in which humans resonated with nature and operated in harmony.\n\nHe analyzes the sensibilities of the Jomon people as &#8220;intuitive, sympathetic, and spiritual,&#8221; and argues that this sensibility, which has been missing in modern society, is what is needed in the coming Earth era.\n\n&#8220;The Jomon people lived to connect with the gods. We today live to connect with money.&#8221;\n\nThis sentence succinctly expresses Nakayama Yasunao&#8217;s view of civilization.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1119b07 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1119b07\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29c2aba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"29c2aba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">From a civilization of resonance to a civilization of separation\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c66fc9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5c66fc9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c2f36d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c2f36d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNakayama&#8217;s &#8220;fall of civilization&#8221; began with the transition from the Jomon to the Yayoi period.

In other words, the Yayoi values \u200b\u200bthat prioritized &#8220;order&#8221; and &#8220;efficiency&#8221; transformed the spirituality of the Japanese people.\n\nIn the Jomon world, all beings &#8220;resonated&#8221; with each other.

Nakayama answers &#8220;Yes.&#8221;\n\nFor example, attempts to bring a &#8220;little Jomon&#8221; into cities have already begun, such as &#8220;rooftop greenery,&#8221; &#8220;hemp clothing,&#8221; &#8220;diatomaceous earth walls,&#8221; and &#8220;crystal acoustics.&#8221; By dotting modern lifestyles with &#8220;resonance points,&#8221; the spirit will recover like ripples. Nakayama&#8217;s goal is to create a &#8220;Jomon techno-spiritualism&#8221; that combines city and nature.\n\n&#8220;Civilization will perish, but the spirit will not.
