About this video
In this video, I’m sharing the 10 real rules of Japanese minimalism — rules I’ve learned from ten years of simple living, based on *chanoyu* , the Japanese tea ceremony.
Maybe I’m not completely right —but I believe this can be a small light that guides you to live more simply and mindfully.
Let’s get started!
0:51 1. Not “Throw Away,” but “Choose”
1:53 2. Not “Perfect Beauty,” but “Imperfect Beauty”
3:14 3. Not “Stay the Same,” but “Keep Changing”
4:25 4.4. Not “Remove,” but “Create”
5:41 5. Not “Hate Things,” but “Appreciate Them”
7:44 6. 6. Not “Uniform,” but “Your Own Style”
9:00 7. Not “Restriction,” but “Freedom”
10:34 8. Not “Mechanical,” but “Natural”
11:33 9. Not “Purpose,” but “Path”
12:28 10. Not “Don’t Buy,” but “Buy Mindfully”
