My Travel Diary : The Postcard Seller in Kyoto
Got this beautiful postcards at a little stall by the roadside near the entrance to the Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama.
Seller is a kind man looks to be in his 50s. He explains that the lovely drawings are his wife who spent years learning to draw as a hobby. She got sick recently and retired but she continues to share her love of drawing and her country with tourists like me.
He was enthusiastic and put tremendous effort to speak English. My Japanese is still a work in progress and I was a little embarrassed to speak in Japanese but was touched by his story. It’s one of the things that motivate me to learn Japanese so I could speak to the locals.
He thanked me for buying his postcards and the last sentence was what got me, “Thank you for loving my country. Hope to see you again.” After which he proceeded to show me the direction to the Bamboo Forest and bow in gratitude before he returned to his stall.
It’s one of the many encounters in Japan that I will remember for life. Their sense of hospitality or Omotenashi, where they go above and beyond for their guests will always amazed me. They take pride in their job no matter how “trifle” or “unglamorous” it may seem to others.
Something I wish people in my own country would understand. Sadly, we are still being judged by what we do, based on personal experience working as a delivery rider when I hit rock bottom in life. My “peers” used to say “how long are you going to work this job”?
While in Japan, they would say, “it’s a good job where you send food to busy and hungry people”. Whoever you are, wherever you are, I hope you can be proud of your job. Keep doing what you are doing. Others will always judge you no matter what job you do.

Simplicity #168: Chozu-ya / Kamakura Walk #03
🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
Along the path to the hall of the temple,
There is a Chozu-ya or water-filled basin
To purify the bodies and the minds of visitors
As a butterfly is dancing merrily in the air.
As a sign of Omotenashi (hospitality)
Petals of a hydrangea are left
On the basin to make guests feel refreshing
During the hot summer season.
Simplicity counts-.
Omotenashi (hospitality) spirit
Is seen here silently in this manner
As an example of… you can say,
Embodiment of Japanese culture.
When you visit this island nation,
And no time to go west far to Kyoto,
High-tech oriented Tokyo may be
Your only destination to go yet
Kamakura, another former capital,
Only 40 km down the south,
Worth visiting to meet good old faces
Of the country.
🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴
お堂へと続く小径には
手水舎があった。
そこには紫陽花の花が置かれ
来客を静かにもてなしていた。
そのさりげない心遣いに
美の顕現を観る。
日本のこうした
おもてなしの文化の
懐の深さを見てとるようだった。
鎌倉散策は楽しい。

(J-Corner Ep.1) Our Thought About JPop Culture
Hola, gaes! Maapkan janji yang terlewati. Niatnya postingan pertama published di akhir Agustus, malah ditunda jadi akhir September. Ya, gimana ya, buat saya pribadi, setelah berkutat dengan nikahan, lanjut lah berkutat dengan pindahan. Nggak cuma dengan packing-unpacking, tapi juga dengan refot urusan administrasi. Maklum aja pindahannya antar negara. Masih dalam kondisi pandemi pula. *banyak…

Rickshaw Girls by Welcome to Japan
They make look cute and adorable but they have the strength and endurance to carry tourists around sightseeing while having a conversation with them.
In Japan, there is a deep-rooted culture, which comes from sado (tea ceremony), called omotenashi, meaning to wholeheartedly look after guests. The term is a microcosm of the country itself, representing the Japanese mindset of hospitality centring around care rather than expectation.
Which is why they do not accept tip as they take pride in their unique customer service going above and beyond expectations as part of their culture and duty. So if you tip them extra money, it gives them false impression that you think they are putting in extra effort for the extra money, which is an insult.
