The #366Duraznos initiative by Wa’ik is a unique cultural and linguistic project that aims to explore and celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity by translating the word «peach» into 366 different languages, one for each day of the year. This initiative not only focuses on the word itself but also on the cultural, historical, and gastronomical contexts associated with each language and region.

Project Objectives:

Promote Linguistic Diversity:
- Highlight the richness and variety of languages spoken around the world, showing how a simple concept can have multiple expressions.

- Facilitate a greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures, traditions, and ways of life through the word «peach.»
Educate and Raise Awareness:
- Provide educational information about lesser-known languages and the cultures of the people who speak them, creating awareness about the importance of preserving and valuing this diversity.

Methodology:

Daily Research:
- Each day, a language is selected, and the word for «peach» in that language is researched. Additionally, interesting facts about the culture, history, and linguistic peculiarities of the region or community that speaks the language are shared.
Social Media Outreach:
- Using the hashtag #366Duraznos, the translations and cultural facts are posted on social media platforms, inviting a global audience to participate, comment, and learn.
Visual and Artistic Content:

We are exploring peaches in Japan! Peaches are very big, precious and cherished in Japan, especially during their season of spring and summer as a source of water and natural sweetness. Along with our research of peaches in 366 languages, we have travelled to Japan to truly understand peaches in Japan.

We participated in the FoodEx Japan, where we met producers, manufacturers and retailers of peaches from the prefectures of to get to know the peach ecosystem Okayama, Yamanashi and Fukushima, the main producers of peaches.

We also visited those prefectures. We first went to Okayama in winter, where we were marveled that the airport is called Momotaro. We also went to Momotaron museum, to understand the tale of Momotaro, the boy who was born from a peach and gave youth to the elderly couple who brough him up. Momotaro defeated evil beings, together with his animal friends. We also Okayama Kibidango, all with peaches in images.

In spring, we visited Yamanashi, when the peaches were growing. There we travelled the prefecture in the look for directly speaking with farmers, and also understanding the crop production together with peaches, grapes, nectarines plumbs and grapes.

In summer, we will go back to Okayama, Yamanashi, and will also visit Fukushima for some more details on the peaches, and interview about the peaches.

私たちは日本の桃を探求しています！桃は日本では非常に大きく、貴重で大切にされています。特に春と夏の季節には水分と自然の甘さの源として重宝されています。 366の言語で桃について研究している中で、私たちは日本に旅行し、日本の桃を真に理解するための旅をしました。

私たちはFoodEx Japanに参加し、岡山、山梨、福島の県の生産者、メーカー、小売業者と出会い、桃のエコシステムを理解しました。

また、それらの県も訪れました。最初に冬に岡山を訪れ、空港が「桃太郎」と呼ばれていることに驚きました。また、桃太郎が生まれた桃の物語を理解するために桃太郎博物館にも行きました。桃太郎は、彼を育てた老夫婦に若さを与えました。桃太郎は動物の仲間とともに悪者を倒しました。岡山のきびだんごも訪れ、すべてのイメージに桃が描かれていました。

春には、桃が成長している山梨を訪れました。そこで私たちは農家と直接話すために県内を旅し、桃、ブドウ、ネクタリン、プラムと一緒に農作物の生産を理解しました。

夏には、岡山と山梨に再び訪れ、福島にも訪れて、桃についての詳細をさらに調査し、桃に関するインタビューを行う予定です。
