Every moment counts...
Whether it's a chance encounter with a friend or an Olympic success, every day brings something special.
That's what ICHIGO ICHIE 一期一会 is all about (lit. 'one time, one meeting'). Traditionally to do with Japanese tea ceremony, nowadays it's used to describe how we create new and valuable experiences with every passing day.
A joke shared with a geisha or a lift to the station from a kindly local - exploring Japan will always provide you with your favourite future anecdotes. That's why this month we talked to our friends in Japan about how the country has sparked their passions.
Here are a couple of things we learnt along the way:
1) Okinawa has a distinct cuisine made from healthy, local ingredients. A must-try! 🍱
2) You can try weaving your own kimono fabric at the Silk Museum in Yokohama 👘
