Abstract
First, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the heartfelt messages to organizers, editors and readers on behalf of the International Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy. It is my great pleasure to publish the new journal BIOPHILIA.
The journal BIOPHILIA is an academic journal of the International Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy as a merger journal of the proceedings of the International Biophilia Rehabilitation Conference and the refereed original papers, reviews and reports. The publication aims at establishing the sustainable super-aged society by restructuring the rehabilitation medicine. The other purpose is to divide the previous Biophilia Rehabilitation Journal into two, one in Japanese and the other in English. It has been published with mixing the Japanese and English papers until now by the Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy of Japan. It now will be possible for our worldwide readers who are reading and/or investigating our journal not to become disappointed by finding an article they are interested in reading is only written in Japanese.
We welcome and seek original articles, which are useful for furthering the improvement in welfare of human beings who have gained longevity, are aiming to establish a sustainable, super-aged society and are helping to restructure rehabilitation medicine. Positive participation by one and all having interest in this field is welcomed. The types of articles being sought are illustrated on the following page.
Holding a workshop in your country is another way to participate and has been received with very positive results in every country held thus far. The photographs on the following page are from some of the workshops we’ve held. Moreover, the proceedings of a workshop will be also published by this journal. Now we all rejoice together for publication of the journal BIOPHILIA enabling fulfillment of our shared purpose.
