" The fight to survive lies at the heart of Kyohei Sakaguchi’s world, whether he is writing self-help books, painting, creating a suicide help line, or designing recycled housing ...

I would like to add artistic/pioneer who is an inspiration to the importance - and beauty of building less while solving more.
Lots in here to digest, a super talented artist with his struggles, trying to help others too ... but if thats not enough, his perspective and commitment is compelling : ...

... Also didn't know that abandoned houses is a huge and expanding issue in Japan ... 6 million abandoned homes ?! The link to that data reference is Here.
