In our series "Japanese people hate nature and especially dead leaves" today I woke up to the biannual grand cleaning of the park. More than 50 people. Not dead leave or twig will be left when they're done.
What's their point exactly? The very term of "cleaning" tells all. For them dead leaves are dirty. Untrimmed, uncontrolled nature is dirty. Basically nature is dirty.
I'll never understand that.
