There is a beautiful lake called Lake Nozori in the interior of Kuni. At first glance, it looks like a natural lake, but it is a dammed lake for power generation. The landscape, created in the 1950s, reminds us of our symbiotic relationship with nature. On the other hand, the energy generated has been continuously supplied to the city. The same applies to the power plants located around the Shirasuna River. In the past, many resources, including the Gunma Tetsuzan, were also supplied to the center. Humans continue to use energy resources that exist in the natural world. The relationship, especially in urban areas, is one-way. This is the same as the relationship between rural areas and cities. Is it possible for a one-way relationship to become a symbiotic and mutual relationship? During my residency, I will start by appreciating energy and working hard on my work.
