“For billions of years, this world belonged to microorganisms.
Without their help, there will be no Revival.”
― Takashi Hirai

Born in 1930, Osaka, Japan. In 1972 he established Microbiological Environmental Technology Institute and now serves as a superintendent.
He strongly believes that technology without right consciousness would lead to further environmental turmoil. In order to restore the earth biosphere, he has developed an original study of natural science using simple terms and definitions.
In 1992, he was invited to attend Earth Summit in Brazil and was highly recognized as Dr. Earth who is actively engaging in environmental restoration projects. He has instructed reforestation project in Thailand, soil amelioration in Vietnam, water purification in Tanabe Bay (Wakayama, Japan), and so on.

― Izumi Masukawa

Studied Nutritional Science and Electronic Engineering at Michigan State University and received Ph.D. in Quantum Mechanics at MIT.

Ms. Masukawa pursues the study of fluid dynamics having the focus on molecular structures and magnetic resonance. Through the research of electromagnetism from ultra low to high frequencies which are closely related to the organic body of water, she warns people of the electromagnetic wave pollution.

She holds a great interest in water which has the natural ability to connect with everything. She studies a wide-range of subjects including biomolecular biology, marine biology, geology, mineralogy, herbalism, etc. She is especially interested in the abilities of “sound” and investigating the relationship between frequencies, universe and humans. She aims to achieve the balance of life on earth and the health of humans and biosphere.
