Thoughts about Japan:
People often ask me what made me move to Japan.
I first visited Japan 12 years ago, I was backpacking with a friend, and neither of us spoke Japanese.
On the last days of our trip, we went to Hiroshima, we arrived around 11 PM, starving.
My friend found a small izakaya run by an old lady who spoke no English at all.
A couple was sitting next to us at the counter, the man spoke English and helped translate for us, and we started telling him about our trip.
The night went by, and after a few cups of sake and some incredible Hiroshima tempura oysters, I asked him to ask the lady for the bill.
She wrote ours down, then theirs too.
As I reached for it, he crossed his arm in front of me and grabbed both.
He smiled and said he wanted to invite us because they had such a good time with us.
As a thank you, I offered to send him one of my photographs, so I asked him to write his address on a napkin.
A few days later, back in Tokyo, I told the story to a Japanese friend and asked him to translate the address for me.
He looked at it and smiled.
“The person you met was most likely Buddhist,” he said.
The napkin read:
ichigo-ichie
“One time, one meeting.”
The idea that every encounter in life is unique, and that beautiful moments should be appreciated without trying to recreate them.
That way, they remain special forever.
I had lost my father, and this taught me to let go.
Today, I have that ichigo-ichie tattooed on my arm.
That was the first of many moments that made me fall in love with Japan.
Thank you Japan.
