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.
Thank you for the comment, Sarah! Hope you make it to Japan one day! Yes, I've also heard the same that it's as old as some of the oldest recorded poetry in Japan. Will share more photos soon :)
"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!

Thank you so much, Rachel! Would love to see a photo of what's blooming in Europe! Enjoy the spring season 🌸
I'll see if I can capture some in time to share to you :)

Lovely Kana! I am also getting interested in repair and maintenance as a research topic, looking forward to your thoughts on the theme!
Thank you so much, Nancy! Yes, you probably think about it much more than I do - would love to know your thoughts on the topic too!

Thank you so much! I'm happy to share more photos!! I also like being able to see the landscape in the photo.
Exactly!! I find that I want things less when those options aren't available to me. Less things, more nature :)
