dear fukiko it has been 11 years since i saw you last time and seeing you now brings tears to my eyes..i miss you very much and happy to see you well. all the best galia
Fukiko Yuki has such a wonderful smile she seams so peaceful. It was really nice of her to take the time to show everyone her House. Thank you for the Video.
The frequent rituals of remembrance and thanks for members of family that have passed away (even for those people from long ago, who you never personally knew) are especially beautiful. By the performance of these acts of eternal love, no one ever truly dies. The traditions evoke a sort of unspoken agreement: "I will never forget you ... and when I pass I know that I, too, will not be forgotten". It is summed up in Emily Dickinson's observation that love is immortality. So beautiful!
this was absolutely beautiful and very educational. much gratitude to fukiko for allowing us into her home and showing us non-japanese how to respect a japanese home.
I loved the paintings shown just around the 5 minute mark. Very nice video, Thank you for making it, and thank you to Fukiko for sharing her home and garden with us. She was a very gracious hostess.
A beautiful home. A beautiful way to look at our lives and the relationship we have with nature. I will make changes in my home to reflect such good charma :)
I appreciated the information. It seems like Fukiko has a very deep respect for her ancestors, art, and the seasons. These rituals are meaningful to her, although outsiders may not understand. Each of us has habits that make us more comfortable, due to how we were raised and what we believe.
Such a beautiful way of life! This home shows us that less is really more. I bet there is no such thing as a Japanese hoarder! Thank you for this lovely video!
They live the Tao in everything they do...from tea ceremony to opening a door...very in the moment. Love Japanese culture...dated some japanese women in western Canada and enjoyed their company and culture/meals/tea. Canadian girlfriends could never understand my fascination with them....but then again I felt the Tao...loved the organization [ocd] and practical logic to life. Thx for posting.....
My thanks to two lovely ladies. Even though I have been to Japan many times I still found this to be both interesting and informative. I suppose my lovely Japanese friends tolerated my ignorance about tatami & not stepping on the edges. So now I will surprise them when I visit them next time thanks to your important tips. Thank you once again.
The tatami rule is something we have in American folkore and can be found in such ancient expressions such as "step on a crack,break your mother's back".
I wish i was born Japanese in Japan everything there is so awesome, like the door for example has art on it, and all their customs are interesting, neat and clean
The thing about enjoying the sort of seasonality of life is a message I've felt come across many times in Japanese culture or media, and I think it's such an admirable quality about their culture. There's such a respect for nature embedded in that.
Love this because it shows how much they respect life and what they own. wish people had more traditions such as these. in my world people do w.e. they want. dogs even wipe their behinds on the carpet..
I love Japan. I'm learning it and when I get older I'm planing on getting a Japanese styled house built. And one of my Japanese teachers that is visiting from Japan is from Kyoto.
Thank you so much for this video. It helps me a lot in my Grade 8 English Demonstration. I would suggest that putting subtitle will be of better help for the students while they watch. Thanks once again..
Some wear kimono on special ocasions, or yukata (light cotten kimono) during summer festivals. They still take off their shoes, but in many aspects of life they are very western. There are those, of course, who maintain more of an old-fashioned lifestyle because they love it.
Sure. But west does not mean jeans and t shirt.... west is norse, welsh, irish, scottish, russian etc. AND PERFECTLY COINCIDENTAL TIMING FOR ALL OF THOSE ANCIENT WAYS OF LIVING STILL ALIVE IN THESE COUNTRIES that in canada or america, most people are dumbed down by the MSM media that keeps yall from knowing your roots and studying the mystical world that shares origins with all cultures and races we see today as well as the races that existed before these ones and many relics show that there was others before many known ancestral ground was found... things that were there on arival. 💖💖💖💖💖
For the tokonuma (sp?), what would happen if a family pet like a cat decided to step on or settle there? Is that okay or do you have to find a way to keep it away?
I saw someone ask, but their reply was not enabled, so I shall say it here if anyone else is still interested: For those that are too old or unable to kneel on their knees to sit, I have seen people sit in many different ways, usually cross-legged elderly men, when they are unable to sit on their knees. Sitting on your knees is proper however, and if you grow up sitting this way normally, it is easier to sit this way for long periods of time.
And also, if you actually spend time reading the description of the video. It clearly saids " which she runs as a guesthouse" so obviously she wouldn't be busting in the door stepping all over the place with shoes on.
Hi. I love your programs but have a question. What about older people, those who cannot kneel. How do they behave? And do men open doors or only women? Sitting ont the floor: if we have bad knees, can we sit without kneeling?
We, Japanese, are not accustomed to calling each other by first name. There is a proverb about politeness which should be kept even among intimate friends.
Without america... the whole world will fall to globalist domination from its current level of influence to total domination. How about no. We are all beautiful and need to start seeing that and begin to cocreat a world that does not involve those such people. We have all done things to one another. But also look at what japan does to its own people. Learn that it aint perfect. Look at what happened to Sweden. The west did not destroy it. Tons of ancient wisdom and knowledge that all shares the same bunch of origins by the way...in all lands. Do not let the MSM destroy and mask everything. Deep research on any topic and grow, your mind will grow and flourish like the four seasons theme of japan. 💖
In real life...How would you protect that table? The idea of a table lends itself to use , to putting things down on it. But there is no way i would put anything down on that table, so how do you go from the table uncovered, to using it?
dear fukiko
it has been 11 years since i saw you last time and seeing you now brings tears to my eyes..i miss you very much and happy to see you well.
all the best

Fukiko Yuki has such a wonderful smile she seams so peaceful. It was really nice of her to take the time to show everyone her House. Thank you for the Video.
Simple respect and uncluttered lifestyle grounds the person and gives happiness.
The frequent rituals of remembrance and thanks for members of family that have passed away (even for those people from long ago, who you never personally knew) are especially beautiful. By the performance of these acts of eternal love, no one ever truly dies.
The traditions evoke a sort of unspoken agreement: "I will never forget you ... and when I pass I know that I, too, will not be forgotten".

So beautiful!
Absolutely delightful lady. Thank you both for sharing.
this was absolutely beautiful and very educational. much gratitude to fukiko for allowing us into her home and showing us non-japanese how to respect a japanese home.
Im always amazed how the japanese people still deeply respect old customs and traditions and follow them to this day
great video! i will be visiting a Japanese friend's home soon, and this video is absolutely helpful. Thanks!
I loved the paintings shown just around the 5 minute mark. Very nice video, Thank you for making it, and thank you to Fukiko for sharing her home and garden with us. She was a very gracious hostess.

I don't care what bad things people say about Japan but I love their culture and I hope to visit Japan sometime in my life. If not, live in Japan.

Naw, your Neko-san would be fine! And is sacred gaurdian type spirit. 💖💖💖💖
Wow~ lots of rules and kind of complicated. I have no doubt I'd break rule 1,4, and 6. But I love the culture and custom-they're beautiful.
YW & thanks for your comment :)
@PukkPukk thank you, I miss it too :(

TYSM for watching :)
What have you done to the sound it is very clear and it seems like you are bowing behind me, chez moi !
@TakaraSakura thank you for commenting :-)

I watch this and Fukuoka accent is amazing ... This is like a sleeping aid to me :D
I have spoken to her many times, but not lately :( I miss her...
fukiko speaks very good english :) good for her
@Lostfaith1980 :) yes!
are tabi acceptable on the tatami?
Thanks for explaining Japanese customs. My only regret is that the background music is Chinese traditional music.
@AlanMolstad use very carefully :)
Wow!
And also, if you actually spend time reading the description of the video. It clearly saids " which she runs as a guesthouse" so obviously she wouldn't be busting in the door stepping all over the place with shoes on.
Hey @amazingwomenrock how about showing us those Japanese Maples... 7:22
Hi. I love your programs but have a question. What about older people, those who cannot kneel. How do they behave? And do men open doors or only women? Sitting ont the floor: if we have bad knees, can we sit without kneeling?
@dingoswamphead thank you for your comments :-)
I love it. :)
hi you have an excellent video but can you please improve the sound it seems like there's alot of usfull info on it. I will visit japan in 2 years
We, Japanese, are not accustomed to calling each other by first name. There is a proverb about politeness which should be kept even among intimate friends.
Traditional Japanese culture is so precious and full of wisdom. It saddens me greatly that this is slowly disappearing due to the West's involvement.
Without america... the whole world will fall to globalist domination from its current level of influence to total domination. How about no. We are all beautiful and need to start seeing that and begin to cocreat a world that does not involve those such people. We have all done things to one another. But also look at what japan does to its own people. Learn that it aint perfect. Look at what happened to Sweden. The west did not destroy it.

Deep research on any topic and grow, your mind will grow and flourish like the four seasons theme of japan. 💖
TYSM for watching and commenting :)
Japanese traditional houses are pretty neat. would like one for myself. lol
In real life...How would you protect that table?
The idea of a table lends itself to use , to putting things down on it.
But there is no way i would put anything down on that table, so how do you go from the table uncovered, to using it?
I was just visiting and sharing my experience... If you don't like it, make your own video :)
what a lovely lady:)
