Persimmons are in. can indulge in for a while.
Yesterday watched ‘Trad Japan’.
one of the hosts who is from Britain, said how he was surprised with the way Japanese care wrapping of gifts and skillfully unwrap them without damaging the paper,
while back in his country, they even tear it open to show excitement.
This reminded me of what happened when we visited our friend to celebrate her new baby born.
she gave each of us a gift in return on the spot, and we all opened it.
she saw me and giggled, ‘ it’s just like you, you’re opening it just in your way.’ next to me, was another friend opening it so neatly and sophisticatedly.
that was the day I noticed my way of unwrapping was like children or men.
I wasn’t born Japanese, but I’ve grown to be Japanese.
