Hey guys! Thanks for all your comments! I noticed some of you were wondering about my nails. Don’t worry, it’s not a disease or anything-just from indigo dyeing. Haha!
As life's complexity increased so did chaos, stress, sadness.
If you think life is like that you probably attract that kind of reality. In the past, I used to be very negative about this world, but it's not all bad. There are many beautiful things in this world. By focusing on the good parts, life becomes much more enjoyable:)))♡
Hi there 🙋🏻♀️. You are seeing life through the ego my friend. You need to tell it to take a back seat or go get a coffee 🙄 and then take the reins yourself 😰. Yes you are we all are spirit and importantly spirit is always spontaneous 😃. We needed the ego when we were very small children to separate from our mother and father or our prime caregivers. The ego taught us to say 2 very important words YES and NO. We were possibly taught boundaries and surprise we have to learn to dismantle those boundaries to become our true selves. No one can control anything except ourself. Blessings and Peace 🤹♀️♥️🌹.
Such a feeling of life may not always be subject to a simple effort of will to change. Each situation is individual and sometimes the phrase “stay positive” or “pull yourself together” can only make things worse, because a person is physically unable to do this due to certain bio-chemical processes in the body. In some cases, it is worth contacting a specialist for help, psychological or medicinal.
@kerryshultz9766 I've got many decades on this planet darlin. Don't read too much into my comment and make your simple analysis of my life. I don't need your keyboard wisdom.
@SamuraiMatcha I'm just fine, thank you. Attracted some pretty good reality, live simply, secure, and don't have most of the problems others have.
Thank you, I learn how simplify my life and practice my English. Greetings from Colombia
Your videos always put a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing Japanese culture 🤗
Me too.
Arigatou♡
Aki I love your enthusiasm.
I have pared down so many belongings. It always makes me feel better.
Thank you ❤︎
Thank you for the smile, Aki-san. Stay happy and healthy.🙏😄
Today, people are so busy with their work that they don't laugh.
I really enjoy your videos. I have adopted a few of your habits and they make feel good.
I have always eaten just simple meals. One I don’t like to spend too much time in the kitchen, two I don’t like to spend a lot of money on food. I do eat rice with most of my meals. I live in the US but immigrated from Germany. I fell in love with rice after I moved to the US
Your vids always cheer me up! Thanks so much for doing them and spreading some positivity! 幸せな動画いつもうｐしてくれて、ありがとうございます!
こちらこそありがとうございます。おかげさまです。Thank you for watching as usual. Okagesama:)))
Thank you Samurai Matcha 🙏🏻. Your simple way of life is very appealing. Laughing was so hard for the 20 people + myself that a course teacher had to coax us to start laughing 😲. After a few attempts we gained more laughter and it still works. It's also good for our Vegas nerve. Thanks again 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏻.
Incredible stuff as always !
Thank you for always watching!
Thank you for the video and history!😊
I love this so much. I grew up in an area prone to big floods, where so many people would throw all their stuff out from the water damage. If they lived in the way t hat they used to in Edo, it would have been easier for so many. I do not laugh as much as I once did. I became a bit more serious, and I am working on that. A lot has happened in the past few years, and I want to be way more joyful. Thank you for the reminders!
In our company, Japanese company in Indonesia also has 3 break times, 10 am, lunch and 3pm🥰😁
Whattt?? so nice:)))
I live in a tiny apartment (barely 59 m2), I can't believe I could house 7 nagaya!!!
my apartment is only 37m2 more less then yours and I don't call it tiny because its enough. I wouldn't like to have a bigger one.
Thank for the unique and great content

Yea!
07:20 That is actually the diet I follow in the temperate and cold months of the year, a pickle + raw veggie salad with feta cheese or some fish and a miso soup with half a square of ramen and some basic veggies (shiitake, leek, carrot and ruffled cabbage or broccoli) + some kombu powder. And a cup of sencha at the end, of course. It is like a ritual, really, preparing it every day, like kinda meditation practice.
Fortifying how to view and live simply rarely goes to waste when done well. Your enthusiasm makes good work I find.
The common thread through some of these things looks like… happiness, gratitude, and respect.
I find living by the sun… one of life’s great gifts… and it’s still hard to understand others constantly being loud during quiet times when it is dark. I laugh best with my cats… they have a better sense of humor than most people… although there are those people who are real gems and understand good joy. Thank you.
I would love to have tatamis! But I'm scared my cats would claw them. Does this happens to people who owns cats in japan? 😿
Would love to know the answer to this!
It's so interesting that the tatami mats release this special scent!

If we could live like this, our world wouldn’t be as complicated as it is: full of created needs. Back to basics is good for ourselves and the planet. It is shown that it is possible. Thank you so much for sharing the Japanese culture.
Hi Samurai Matcha, I am from India new to ur channel....enjoying.....will explore more about Japan through ur videos.... Thank you, God bless you May ur channel grow more...
Amazing and wise lifestyle. Thank you for sharing this information.
Your videos bring me so much joy ❤❤❤
Beautifull , thank you!!
Thanks for the laughs! 😂❤
You inspire me to be a minimalist!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Aki, as a gamer - but I think I quit all along. I would like to hear your perspective. I follow you a long time and I know that you played a lot of Smash Bros and it seems that you completely canceled gaming. Could you answer me how it affect your life? Do you miss it? As someone who grew up with the snes it's kind of weird to cancel gaming after 30 years.
I think many people would interest it since so many people play games today. If you don't think that such a video would work, I would be glad if you have maybe one, two minutes to answer me. Im struggling right now if it's the right way.
Thank you like always! Btw your hat is amazing. It was truly my first laugh today 🖤
Değerli paylaşımlarınız için çok teşekkür ederiz.Selamlar.
Completely ‘off topic’ but I was intrigued by your finger nails. I thought they looked strangely beautiful but also masculine. Was that nail art or something else?
it looks like his fingernails were dyed with dye and have grown out a bit, I could be wrong though!
That is from indigo dyeing haha
I watch this man's videos because I learn about the Japanese culture, and because he seems so happy. He's always smiling and upbeat. I really like that.
Tatami is made up of which material
IGUSA:)
while we would LOVE to have tatami mats and futons my apartment building we can't for various reasons. So we compromised and bought sleeping cots. We have decided we need to each get a padded sleepbag to help with extra padding but overall we have been very comfortable on them the past 2 nights and I have pins and rods in my spine and arthritis in my hips so very doable even with those issues. Living a schedule in accordance with the weather and light just not possible in the modern world. Corporations don't care if it is dark outside or if there is a hurricane or blizzard. Hell look at the midwest United States using Waffle Houses as a measure if the weather is bad. It 20 below and blizzard condtions? Is Waffle House open? YEP oh that it not bad enough GET TO WORK.
Hello from Victoria, BC! Your videos are always so inspiring, thank you for these lovely tips 😊
Thank youuu there will be a tea festival in Victoria soon!!!
@@SamuraiMatcha Yeah! I'm so excited to check out the festival!!
Loved this video, Aki! The Edo period seems like it was a such a balanced time for the community and that wealth of life can be achieved through simplifying it. I will be trying out some of these!!
Love your creative videos. This one was especially enjoyable. Your English has become very fluent. Thanks for the fun and the reminder to laugh a lot!!!
I wonder if eating like those in the Edo period would let me get over my sugar addiction...? Nothing else works, so I guess this is worth a try. 😊
Thank you^^ If you know about the Sloth Club by Keibo Oiwa, please make some content about it. I wish to know more by your side of view.
Thank you for these good and useful informations. I will implement some things from now on, cause I am longing for it since longer time. Blessings to you, dear Samurai Matcha, and greetings from Germany 🙏🏽
I love it how they lived their life it sounds so peaceful. I feel myself very happy after watching your video. Thank you for the serotonin flash!😘
Good day Samurai!) Thank you for the educational videos about your amazing country! In connection with the comparison of the past and the present, I have long had the lines: In the Edo period, sages on the cracks in the turtle shell told fortunes about the future. Who will tell our fortunes on the cracks in the asphalt shell?!
I love this! Some of it's not doable for me, but could probably do the taking care of things and the food thing. I have started eating Miso a lot more lately as well as rice. It's been so good for my very sensitive tummy.
So delightful to watch. You’re a gem. Thank you. 👌🏽🙌🏽✨
Very interesting I'm going to declutter some old photos in albums. What's your thoughts on all the photos we take and store? I have lots from before we had mobile phones?
Always enjoy your videos and inspired by the Japanese culture. Look forward to seeing your next video 😊
love this and Japanes culture :) Thank you for sharing
I have got so many belongings out of my home, and it makes my so much happyer ,i fill so much better.
Lovely tips! when you have children they accumulate things though just have to be mindful
I suggest we would follow nr 4 again all over the world. That would be a less stressful work schedule.
The head looks good on you 😂
I wait for your videos. Do u use sunscreen? I want to go back using time machine to Edo period.
Loved this video! :) Thanks Aki!!😊
I adore your videos. ❤ they have helped me on my journey to minimalism
Thank you
Hooray I am the 1K like for you 💫🙌🏽 Well done, great vid as usal
I LAUGHED - THE CYCLE OF LIFE IS SO DIFFERENT BETWEEN TWO PERIODS - JUST TAKE THE SMARTPHONE?
Thank you for this video.
We have something new to learn every day.
Do you have suggestions for your tatami pads ? Thanks dude
your videos make me so happy Aki! thank you 🍵💚
Very informative and nice content. Thank you
Thank you for this I love Edo so much
the "hairpeices" are hysterical.
Beautiful video! 🙏🏻⭐️💜😊🌞
Uma aula sobre cultura e boa vida. Obrigado! 🙏🏼
Your videos makes me happy😀😀🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this! 🎉
I love old lifestyle too
Not a minimalist but always enjoy your videos as I do believe in “enoughism.” (I made up that word.). What you say, especially number one was true in our country also. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy speaking with elders.
We no longer lend or borrow because so few respect things and we’re so likely to receive the item back broken if at all 😕. Love the idea of being able to rent certain items.
enoughism!!! love it!!
my dogs trashed my tatami :(
I love your posts!❤❤❤

Good day, I enjoy watching your videos. I wonder what that strange cap is on your head? I also wonder if they used to eat white rice in Japan like in the video? Whole grain rice is, I think, much more nutritious. In our country, we used to eat only whole grains, white flour is a "product" of so-called "modern" times. Greetings from the Czech Republic.
I know... eating white rice is the norm in Japan now... but I try to eat mixed rice with brown rice.
Thank you
I truly enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Paris
thank you❤︎
Thank you
Love the vid have a great day aki
❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you
What’s on your nails? And wonderful video :)
from indigo dyeing haha
Amazing 🌷
Thank you
great content you improved well as director and production value
I'm so honored😄
Thank you!
Could yo recommend some minimalist authors, books or philosophy about it?
There’s this one person, but the book is in Japanese... One important thing I learned from him is that letting go of things is actually a positive thing. By letting go, you can live a simple, free, and rich lifestyle.
Great👍
Historically, their lives were not as simple and carefree as you portray. There was famine, disease, violence and poverty. Of course, there was also beauty, art and family, but your romanticized oversimplification is not convincing.
And let me add that I totally subscribe to simplifying our lives. It’s healthy. 😊
Thank you for your comments! Certainly, there were famines, but it was a peaceful era without wars for 260 years. Life was relatively stable, and the economy flourished. It's true that, during that time, people aimed to live simple lives.
🙏❤

Hello Aki,
I truly enjoyed your video. Two quick questions: How do you clean your tatami mats? Do you simply let them air out?
I do always with a lint roller:) Sometimes I sun-dry the tatami mats.
@@SamuraiMatcha Thank you, Aki. I do appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
Hello from the netherlands!!
Do you wear nail polish? Or did you hit all of your mails with a (borrowed) hammer 😂😂
Oh this is Aizome! Indigo dyeing😄
@@SamuraiMatchathats amazing. I found this video about it ( ruclips.net/video/UOIbFQnFo7Q/видео.htmlsi=4SJ_zNM875iqvpe9 ) maybe something for a future video.
Keep up the positivity, sir 👍👍
