As I sifted through some unviewed footage, I stumbled upon a gem from our visit to the Kabusugi Giant Cedar Forest within Seki’s 21st Century Park.

While I previously shared photos of this majestic park, experiencing the towering cedar trees in person surpasses any still image.

To truly convey their grandeur, I’ve crafted a brief Instagram reel capturing their awe-inspiring presence. In under a minute, you’ll get a glimpse of their magnificence, complemented by snippets of wisdom from Alan Watts.

Feel free to indulge in this snippet of nature’s wonder and philosophical musings. And if you enjoy it, stay tuned for more captivating reels on the horizon!

Catch the reel here:

This blog is for thoughtful adults who are starting again — in learning, creativity, or life — and want to grow steadily without noise or pressure.

Here you’ll find daily reflections and practical guides shaped by lived experience. The focus is on learning through doing: building consistency, adapting to change, and finding clarity in everyday practice.

The stories and guides here come from real processes — creative experiments, hands-on projects, life in rural Japan, working with nature, and learning new skills step by step. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is polished for performance. The aim is steady progress, honest reflection, and practical insight you can actually use.

If you’re curious about life in Japan, learning new skills at your own pace, or finding a calmer, more intentional way forward, you’re in the right place.
