  • 1996 (in English) translation The Ultimatium [sic] of God Nature The One-Straw Revolution A Recapitulation – he, himself, commissioned local to his farm, fresh translation into English, printing it in an extremely limited edition, less than 100 copies.

    • 2012 (in English) completely edited version of the above 1996 English–in–Japan translation: Sowing Seeds in the Desert – editor: Larry Korn, with a team, with publishers Chelsea Green, USA, May 2012. The publication details on the inside cover page obscure the full origin of the book as Larry Korn's complete editing of the above 1996 original English translation book done in Japan by direct commission of late Fukuoka Masanobu himself. Larry Korn did not translate the 1992 Japanese book to English (despite the hype), this was done leading up to late Fukuoka Masanobu's 1996 English self–publishing (self printing, non–commercial, less than 100 copies only). Clarifying what Sowing Seeds in the Desert's inside cover page has written about it, it, the 1996 English translation original, was printed in Japan in English, (again) by late Fukuoka Masanobu himself, as written above—translating the 1992 Japanese original book, and in the 1996 English translation printing edition excluding all of that 1992 Japanese book's illustrations, diagrams and photographs. Therefore more clearly it would have written that it, the 1996 English translation original done in Japan, is a Japanese English book.
