While visiting my hometown Seto, I met a ceramic shop owner who shared a very Japanese way of thinking — teinei na kurashi, or “a mindful life.”
He reminded me that life isn’t just about saving things for special occasions, but about finding joy in everyday moments.
This is the story of how that simple talk in a pottery shop changed my perspective on happiness.
