The photos are lovely and I would enjoy seeing more. You are right about how we can get so used to convenience. We then take advantage of it without even knowing it. Our world is so full of beauty which is a blessing. We just need to stop and look around. Great post Kana.
Thank you for reminding me to go out and enjoy the blooming flowers of spring, to treasure the impermanence of beauty and life. We have our version of Sakura here too in Europe!
I'd love to visit Japan during cherry-blossom season. And thank you for sharing the stunning pictures to accompany your post. And yes to more pictures of sakura!
Also, I read somewhere recently that the Japanese have been keeping records of the sakura blossoms for over a 1000 years, which is remarkable.
"The inconveniences allow me a long pause to reflect and reconsider what we’re robbed of when convenience becomes too central to our daily lives" - so true Kana-san.
Kana, thank you for sharing this. Your writing is as delicate and full of wonder as the sakura. 🌸 I would love to see more photos of the sakura and also the photos of your village. The one with the village is the background is gorgeous.
I have also moved into the countryside and further away from city life (where Amazon Prime offers two weeks free shipping instead of two hours!), and I much prefer it! Who needs things when you have nature all around!

Lovely Kana! I am also getting interested in repair and maintenance as a research topic, looking forward to your thoughts on the theme!
