Rashiku's thoughts
I want to live a life like a story.
Many people think this way, but in reality, there is no one who isn't living within a story.
The only difference is whether you're aware of it or not - everyone creates stories within their daily lives.
To become aware, it's important to "observe" your daily life.
Observe your life.
Observe objects.
Observe craftsmanship.
Observe people.
Observe your community.
And observe yourself.
By doing so, your own unique story will surely come into view.
You'll see that you're living together with what you've discovered.
Simple stories.
Stories of dedication.
Gentle stories.
Vibrant stories.
The world that comes into view through your observation is your own unique story with the things you've discovered.
There are still many unknown things and traditions in Japan.
Regionally rooted techniques.
Perfected artisan skills.
Craftsmanship wisdom passed down through generations.
Try observing them.
Try introducing them into your own life.
A slightly different story from before will begin to unfold.
We propose Japanese things and traditions that can serve as a catalyst for such an "observing" mindset.
