What is "Honmono (a genuine thing)"?
It is, I suppose, living or producing by nature's laws. Maybe relying too much on "convenience" would distract you from nature's law. Anyway, the people who have been questing for "Honmono" look happy, satisfied, and fun.I'm so glad to share these videos with you:)

Ohhh, I've just started watching the videos and finished the first one. I'd love to be part of the community, or the handful, as this lovely mans says. Thanks for sharing, Sachi. I think honmono is a concept I want to live by!
ReplyDeleteOh well, I've seem all the videos. It's really great to catch a glimpse of your country: language, street, food, people.. I love the way people seem to nod when they meet. That's so courteous and it is something that is getting really rare in my country. I see more signs of lack of politeness, or even rudeness, than the opposite. I also find the Konbu Doi people very uplifiting, they seem - just - happy! And the preparation of food...Well it's something I love. Preparing, decorating, arranging food is almost as important as actually eating the food, isn't it? So much care and attention are put in the process...Again, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank YOU so much for watching all the videos. I'm really happy you liked them:) I love Konbu Doi people too(especially those ladies' laughing:))! As you say, they look so happy and fun. And that's what Konbu Doi owner seems to have expected us(people all over the world) to see and feel. Oh, the process, you mentioned in your comment, is the key for "Honmono", I think:) It might be something that requires effort to make, but it turns out great happiness, true happiness. That's just like our life:) Thank YOU for showing me your empathy:)
