When the environmental problem called "global warming" emerged, the media was widely swept with the slogan, "be friendly to the earth". Michizo Noguchi has written on the blackboard, that this expression makes him uneasy. If Mount Asama erupts, the volcanic ash would fall in the mulberry field, and the silkworms would be wiped out. If the Tone River (the largest river in the Kanto region) reveals its fierce nature and overflows its banks, the damage would be enormous. Humans have no chance in front of the teeth of nature. Knowing this as his own experience from the childhood, Noguchi understands that one must always keep the sense of “Osore” (awe/respect/fear) towards nature, as it does not bring only blessings.
