The Ministry of the Environment has produced a new booklet to promote recycling to coincide with the G8 Summit. Using images from ukiyoe artist Hokusai's famous prints, and with Hokusai himself appearing as a character, the 21 page pamphlet outlines Japan's recycling system and is available in a variety of languages. Copies will be distributed free at locations near the Summit in Hokkaido or will cost 300 yen to order from the Ministry.
