Скачать или смотреть [JAPAN] Tatsumasa Murasame Tribute - Professional Japanese Gardener & Athlete

This video introduces you to Mr. Tatsumasa Murasama, one of Japan's professional gardeners and landscape artists who continues the country's tradition. Tatsumasa was born "Jakob Sebastian Björk" to Swedish parents in Örkelljunga, Sweden. He was an ordinary Swedish boy until age 16; however, when he was a young teenager, he learned about Japan and became interested in this world's most ancient and unique country.
Scandinavia = Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark are similar to Japan in the sense that they too are neighboring the Soviet Union/today's Russia, and historically, they had quite challenging times with Russians (190 ethnic groups of people). Furthermore, Scandinavian countries are like Japan, "one race, one nation."
When Jakob was a little boy, his parents separated; he and his siblings were raised by a biological mother and a stepfather, a Swedish Air Force pilot, in the suburbs of Skåne, southern Sweden. As Jakob grew up, he thought of joining a Swedish Air Force like his step-father, but it was around that time, he visited his friend in Japan.
As a high school kid, Jakob returned to Japan a few times to learn about the country. When he did a homestay for three (3) months in one summer, the house he stayed in was an old, traditional Japanese house with a gorgeous Japanese garden. Jakob was mesmerized. He also visited Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in the Kamakura area near Tokyo. That year, Jakob returned to Sweden and passed the entrance exam to join the Air Force, but he declined his enlistment. Instead, after he graduated from high school, he permanently moved to Japan.
When Jakob was obtaining Japanese citizenship, his parents asked whether he can die defending Japan because "to become a citizen of Japan" means exactly that. Jakob had no doubt in his mind back then and even today... that is what he will do without any reservation if Japan was attacked, he says.
