Japan, As I Lived It: A Ton of New Concepts
Over 15 days across Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, I followed my curiosity through ramen shops, arcades, tea rooms, and temples. Not chasing tourist checklists, but discovering the concepts that shape everyday Japanese life. From Ganbaru and Kodawari to Seppuku and Ichigo Ichie, this post shares how cultural ideas quietly surfaced in moments I lived and noticed, not just studied. Japan, as I lived it, was more than a trip. It was a way of seeing.
