About Me

Hi, I’m Tome.

In my daily life, I work as a systems engineer, spending most of my time in front of a computer. Perhaps as a counterbalance to my digital work, I find myself drawn to more analog, slow-paced activities in my private life. I enjoy cooking, reading, and listening to music. In 2020, I began studying the Urasenke Chado.

Join me as I explore and share the joys of a harmonious and peaceful “wa” lifestyle.

About this blog

When you see the kanji character “和” (wa), what comes to mind?

Does it remind you of things like “和風” (Japanese style) or “和食” (Japanese cuisine), which signify something Japanese?

Since the English translation of Reiwa is “Beautiful Harmony,” it might be widely recognized overseas as “Harmony.”

It can also be read as “nagomu,” evoking a sense of peace and tranquility.

In my busy daily life, I used to push forward recklessly, only to find myself exhausted and stressed out. This was a recurring pattern.

At some point, I started seeking a life with more “wa” – a lifestyle that embodies Japanese harmony and peacefulness. This gradual shift has made a significant change in me.

This blog is a record of my journey towards embracing a Japanese-inspired, harmonious, and peaceful lifestyle. I hope it offers some inspiration for you to find your own “wa” in everyday life.

“Thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become habits, habits become character, and character becomes destiny.”
