Host: Onshirin Regional Public Organization

The commoners of the Onshirin federation of 11 villages holding access rights to the north slope of Mount Fuji (Kita Fuji), along with Japan's Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN), eagerly welcome participants to the first IASC meeting to be held on a commons and the first to be sponsored by commoners.
This wonderful venue at Kita Fuji on Mount Fuji, a majestic peak that is also the emblem of Japan and a potential World Heritage Site, is actually the location of one of Japan's most valiant struggles to maintain legal rights and a functioning commons in the face of hostile pressures and massive social, economic, and political change.
