Japanese Life
We have become so accustomed to the convenience of civilized life that we have forgotten the "Japanese way of life". Using useful things will save you time, and above all, make the tedious work that used to be difficult every day easier. However, the more convenient it becomes and the easier life becomes, the more lazy people's minds and bodies become. If you get used to slacking off, you may end up suffering from obesity or a lack of exercise. Even if it is convenient, it is better not to put anything in your room that makes you lazy, disturbs you, or makes your room dirty.
A "Japanese life" does not mean simply living in a room with tatami mats and fusuma in a kimono. Moreover, it is not enough that life is merely inconvenient in opposition to the convenient civilized life. Harmony and unity, cleanliness, and self-improvement for development and improvement are important in Japanese life. It is desirable to be able to take advantage of nature, be in harmony, be physically and mentally healthy, and be able to work hard at self-improvement without hesitation. To that end, we create a living space that is in harmony with nature, where we can worship the gods and buddhas, and where we can develop and improve ourselves.
A Japanese life is a life in which we are aware that we are a part of nature, and refine our mind and body while harmonizing with the space and time that utilize nature as much as possible. Now is the time for us to know the essence of "harmonious life" and learn the essence of it.
