Abstract
  The title of this lecture, ‘What should we discuss from now?’ is taken from the first paragraph in the introduction of “General Theory of Farmers' Arts” written by Miyazawa Kenji. It can be said the life of Miyazawa was marked by “failure and resurrection.” He suffered his setback five times in his life, and was not able to recover from the last frustration until he closed his life at the age of 37. From the fact that the manuscript fee was received only once throughout his whole life, it could be difficult to say that his life ‘in this world’ was successful. However, thousands of people have been touched by his awkward, but earnest, way of life, and it will give many suggestions to the prospect of JARM.
