- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- 8 years ago, textile artist Yoshiko Jinzenji bought a 400-square-meter plot of land up Mount Hiei in Kyoto to build a kitchen house. The house is an integrated suite with two kitchens, no storage, and everything is just out there. All the materials in the house were collected by herself, "This is my last gift to myself."
she is alone, but she seems not to be lonely. she has her own cosmos of her interests and passion ... no wrinkles,
Beautifully said !!!
@@sarahdeason493 thanks. ;-)
@Mrssewhardtoplease my comment was not about (my or any) obsessions, but just a statement about her face. otherwise, I agree with you about greedy industry and their marketing.
True and good.my youngest son is exhibiting illness due to overachieving.this is a beautiful blending of life.
She lives with a ghost. See the ghost's hand at 4:00.
These elder ladies in silver white hair looks so pretty and cool for me. 👍👍👍
I loved seeing them all around the table with different colours of silver and grey
I love all the natural lighting in her house... She fills her house with things she love and it looks really "lived-in"...
So agree with it
Yes, wish we could learn more. How she build the house? What's her job? Why so many plates? So many questions? The house is stylish and different.
This proves that you don’t have to be with someone to be happy, you can simply create your own
But what if she dies alone and her dead body is decomposing and only to be found a week later....
Sumida Ryogoku we’re all dying alone
Sumida Ryogoku her friends, neighbors would obviously notice
This Survival Girl, Thank for your words of wisdom💗
If she's trying to be healthy, why is she eating dead animal flesh?
I too am alone but certainly not lonely
I am divorced happily
When I was married
I was very lonely in that marriage
Now I feel alive it's a great feeling to be free
I'm happy you are free. I wish that for me.
Same here
@@JustJulesM Hopefully you will be free soon
it’s great to hear people escaping from suffocating relationships. I wish you a happy life, with or without a partner.
Kids are adults and moved away but he will take them to his side. I have mental illness - no job, no place to live, it is terrible weather here with LONG winters.
Being alone , does not equate to being lonely.
She is obviously quite content.
When you have billions at the bank, being alone is a choice. She comes from one of the richest families in Japan, she never had to work a day in her life and only does things for fun, not because she has to.
Trust, there is NOTHING exceptional about this old woman, quite the opposite. When you have this much wealth and you spend it on yourself , there is really nothing to be proud of .
Rather solitude
So true Morgan! What is her contribution to humanity?
@@chimommorris158 Beautiful cloth is her contribution and the creation of beautiful clothes by talented fashion designers. And what is your contribution? You and Morgan come across as spiteful and jealous that she had the good fortune to be born into wealth. It might surprise you that you cannot be held to account for your ancestors choices before you were born.

有💰钱人的一生， 就是花钱。。。享受生活。
76 and so full of life and so gorgeous !
YOU are an inspiration for us.
Beautiful....calming...aspire to be like her at 76...
I'am yoir 90's like!! 😉☺😎
That kimono for her tea ceremony was TO DIE FOR, unbelievably beautiful 👀💞
So chic and stylish.
Arlene, that kimono did make an impression.
i would expect nothing less from a textile artist!
I aspire to live a life like hers.
This is how I want to live. But people think I'm crazy or stupid for it.
I'm not so much into cooking as building/fixing/making things, so my version would be with work-benches and tools and materials everywhere. I would even have a separate Sacred Space for my own rituals and ceremonies with zero clutter.
All this.
☕
Don't be offended when people tell you you're crazy or stupid. Use it as an excuse to do whatever you want :))
Do what you wish to live how you wish other people don't matter ,,, live happy with yourself,,,,,good luck😊
You go girl!
Jennifer Grove...Beautiful aspirations...Just do what you can towards living like this...baby steps if need be to begin with...Let nay sayers live there life & not affect yours..Your dreams are "crazy beautiful" !!!
Because you can state your clear vision you are well on your way to manifesting this reality!
What a wonderful way to live. Peace and tranquility in your own sanctuary.
A sanctuary ..... for sure!
Here in India, generally if a single parent is left alone...... He or she either ends up being a beggar on the road, Or dies of the actions out of depression.
That's why I always ask my parents, to inculcate their own hobbies. We have a familial culture in India, that's good, but with changing lifestyles and aspirations, one has to go out for job Or other things. It's no more possible to live always with the parents.
It's not like i would leave my parents alone when they are going to be old, but still I want them to never feel alone. That's why they must find some activities which they like doing the most.
Empty mind is always depressed. So one must inculcate some interests or hobbies to fill the voids of time. It's really important these days.
We have a notion that we must live for others. Parents should live for children and then children should live for parents. That's not completely rational. We must take care of our loved ones but we also take care of ourselves. We should have the responsibility of our own selves.
You don't own your children, nobody does. So if your children leave you when they are independent then it's not a crime. Parents are the medium for the children to come to this world and children themselves will explore the world. Let them do that, don't cut their wings in the names of responsibilities, culture etc.
We must love our children, but we don't need to understand them. It's okay if we can't understand their decisions, but we must have faith that they will do alright.
That's why one must love oneself and should also give time to self. That's the only we one can live happily ever after. Don't give your key of happiness to someone else. Be the master of your own life.
💕
Yes, very true. In most parts of Asia that is true. Mostly due to economics of not being financially independent. All of the parents savings are sunk into dowries with the hope that children will look after them. There are also no social services. We need to form social services that make the parents feel useful and needed and give them some compensation even when retired. This will free up everyone. It is not a hobby but a lifestyle change.
Vandey Mataram wonderfully written.
People keep reading countless stupid comments.
The fact you made a point and took time to write this itself showing and giving hope that youth these days are thinking and acknowledging the dark side of few parents who seem to think they love their kids and do everything or nothing out of love but that’s completely not the entire side of the emotion.
Thankyou!
@@suggushradhanikhila7847 welcome 🍏
@@lass-inangeles7564 yes, indeed. 🍏
She is, in fact, very young. ,
💕
When an artist design their own house. It was amazing because they're born creative with ideas
'My last gift to myself." How brilliant is that. She has designed such a lovely life!
What a beautiful lady. I love that she's independent, happy, healthy and still learning at 76. My goal in life is to keep learning and living. I'm 65 and I LIVE every day with a grateful heart.
This lady is an inspiration to me.She is amazing😊😊😊
That's me! 68 years old in Mexico building my own casa! Donated, traded etc!
Ramona Ray - bless you Ramona. Finding your own joy!
Keep at it! Proud of you. -Diana.
No, you are far better than her, Her family is one of the richest in Japan, she is a billionaire, she has absolutely zero merit.
Does it after if you are rich or poor? Nature is the best rich or poor.
Ramona Ray I am in Ajijic Mexico. Renting and a wonderful friendship where I teach qigong with my landlady, a perfect villa, wellness theme Named 5 elements.
Love her spirit. She is Beautiful inside and out.
this old japanese lady live like a Queen ! Enjoy life with artist mind ! Great Awesome !
I am an older lady preparing to build my own tiny house, alone. It will not be as nice as this. There I will have books, flowers and my animals I love. I will live like Thoreau and want nothing else. ❤️
喜歡她說房子需要「動態與靜態相結合」。
生活美學就是有意識的體驗。
I could sit 24/7 with her and listen to her incredible stories, I bet I would never get bored.. it's just sad maybe she's alone until she can no longer do the things she usually does becoz of old age..... missin my grandma now.
Beautiful home and woman - so creative and elegant.
Lady Jinzenji looks fabulous and she is a talent independent woman, living life on her terms, bravo.
i wish i was her friend and be invited for a cup of tea. i love her spirit. She reminds me so much of the book "Harold and Maud" !!!!
IKR? There is an old passenger train car in this town that I desperately want to live in ...
@@DarkMoonDroid ... If it is a possibility to do that, make it happen...Sounds like such a beautiful and charming idea..I for one am very excited re: the possibilities for you...
Jenny ... I would so love to be her friend and visit her as well...I feel we would connect despite our language difference....
I would love to do the same
I’m 60 and I am into my multiple hobbies, pets, volunteering... but her house is beautiful, high ceiling and all for herself. I hope I’ll continue like her making everyday beautiful, artistic, balance between stillness and activity. Thanks for sharing your life.
What a lovely woman! I especially liked the serenity of her tearoom! I dislike clutter and although her kitchen is a high-energy and very creative space, I would not be able to cope with it. I did learn something that my mind has been play with for some time: that we need 'static' spaces, in our homes and in our gardens.
Elise Kuby if you are a happy and healthy woman like I am I don’t mind clutters every where what it is important is the healthy mind and my body , it is does matters , and to stay healthy and happy I turn into vegetarian and raw vegan life styles that even I am 60 years old woman I am healthy and happy , the rest doesn’t take into account in my daily life , thank you
@@TheGohbomba The terms 'healthy and happy' encompass many things in daily life. The presence of clutter makes me uncomfortable and it would cause me anxiety, which would then impact the happy and healthy parts of my unique personality and character. She, being an artist, may enjoy the various objects that stimulate her and make her happy. The happiest room in her house would also be the happiest room in my house - the tea room, free of physical and or/mental stimuli! A serene space - or a static space, as she herself described it.
@@elisekuby3576 ... Beautiful that we can take beauty which we relate to in others lives and incorporate into ours if we so desire..and by same token, omit the aspects we do not relate to...
Yes. But I’m a bit perplexed by the presence of the TV in a room that’s dedicated to such a serene, contemplative, and quiet ritual. Did I see wrong?
Beautiful woman. Beautiful home. Beautiful artist.
Loving the positivity in these comments!!! Side note: I want a tea room now.🌌💎💥
I want a tea room now too! :)
gianni lloyd - agreed! Its so refreshing to see such positive, lovely thoughts shared.
And yes... a tea place.... afternoon tea.
Me too!
Me too 😢 someday 😉
"Innovation" is the word exclusively for Japaneese people.From my heart,i respect them.
I am going to sew myself a kimono and drink chinese tea - just another old lady in Vienna.
Benette Semper be sure to study on the tea room and the Japanese way of preparing the tea.. then you will under stand.
@@valerieb.4912 Thanks dear, be blessed.
Benette, funny I thought the same.
Thats lovely... i'll think of you when i have my tea.. jut another 48 yr old/ middle aged woman living on her own in Australia xx : ))
This is the cutest dream house for a crafter.
良いなー憧れる…
この方のような、
尊敬できる人に私もなりたいです。
白い御髪が可愛くて仕方がない
ものがたくさんあって乱雑に置かれているように見えても
散らかっている感じがしない
ゴミがないというか
こんな風に人生が見えるようなものがたくさんある生活が素敵
She reminds me of the grandma from kiki's delivery service
“I rather die than doing nothing” man that’s deep. I’m here doing nothin’ while watching the video ,I feel that sentence stabbing my existence
Ha ha. She is multi talented.
Omg she inspires me. Love love love her lifestyle. Absolutely brilliant. But I love doing nothing.
You can do nothing if you want, but you must do nothing elegantly.
Dear
Such a beautiful enviroment...this is what one call" home sweet home"
You really feel the calmity n serenity and the richness of her house...
Such a relax enviroment, admire to see the things in her house...its open and can be seen everywhere...love you madame..
Love from malaysia
A very intelligent, interesting, creative woman! A wonderful inspiration for others. Her home is exquisite!
Not all single women will end up old, sad and grumpy.... Some will be just like her. What an inspiration.
Jen Ox .... Beautifully said !!!
Many old married women end up sad and grumpy- with a sad and grumpy old husband
Beautiful and charming story about this unique woman.
Making hand rolled green tea at night and watching this is comforting! There is no greater satisfaction than creating a product from scratch!! Not for the monetary value, and it’s a balm for your soul!! And this wonderful wonderful woman is an epitome of a contented being !!!
I love these kind of stories.
Que casa más bonita. Me gusta Todo lo que existe en ella, incluida Vd. Porque todo lo artesanal me apasiona. Muy guapa con el Kimono. Un abrazo desde España. Bravo por su estilo de vida. 👏👏👏👏👏🙏😘. Vive en un Maravilloso país.
太有意思了，虽然房间物件极多而且甚至可以说杂乱，但是整个气场给人感觉是宁静的。看来房间的场还是由主人决定啊
You are beautiful and your house is very beautiful.
I love all the things that you have collected over time.
Thanks for showing us your house.
JAPAN have extraordinary technology
But they believe in living Natural style
I love you JAPANESE'S

Beautiful lady!!!
I have the utmost respect and awe for the Japanese !!! 😊
Everything you do, is sheer beauty to the highest degree.
Everything , to the inth degree is painstakingly detailed and cared for.
I just watched a video on how the NewBorn is taken care of in your Hospitals.
It puts ours to SHAME.
The Nurse was so calm and gentle saying soothing words to the baby , when he started to cry.
I was in awe and happy tears to see such gentleness.
Here, they're so rough and mean.
That's why I had my babies at home and at the Mid-Wife house !!! Went home, with my NewBorn, several hours later !!! 😊
BEST experience ever !!!
Watching your shows makes me wish I was Japanese 😊
Love you all. !!!! 🥰
i wish my last stage of life would be at least similar to this. Peaceful, when you only surround by everything you truly love and treasure. no additional drama, just you, and your own world.
LOVE the serenity of the tea room. It's exactly the feeling I get when drinking a good cup of tea.
There s no more serious or difficult work , than building love🙏🏻💎❤️
So calming to watch her enjoying her space.
Thank you so much for sharing this story. Finally have met a person ‘Living a life no regrets’. Thank you Lady Yoshiko Jinzenji for your inspiration. Like my granny say your own happiness is your own to achieve, no one can give you the true happiness of your heart desires.
This was wonderful to see. I am 76 and I too have an above average level of curiosity. This lady has a beautiful, rich and fulfilling life surrounded by everything she loves. Heavenly!❤️
What a lovely space! The contrast of the living area n serenity of tea room...aha!
I nearly fainted as we were taken around her house... Such amount of beauty, and there is art everywhere! What an amazing woman! This house must be one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen... Such aura of peace, art, creativity and happiness.
I love her house design.
Omg what a beautiful woman
And what an inspiration
Absolutely beautiful
May God bless her and protect her
Another beautiful and inspirational video. Thanks for sharing. Loved this video.
She is just fabulous
All of her sensuality seeps into her house, her food, even the light. I love her- just like Oscar Wilde said “ I put my skills into my art and my genius into my life” -well something like that. I find her entire aesthetic, her attitude, her gumption-so life affirming. Kudos to the producers, the sound engineer and the film makers and directors for such a beautiful little film. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️
日本にこういう人がいるのにびっくり。

This will be me in 40 years 😊 I love art, LOVE glasses etc and love my own space. She seems like a beautiful person.
Nada mejor que hacer lo que te gusta, y vivir de ello. Es bendecida ésta mujer.
海外心聲:綺麗人生，wonderful,喜，贊。💗
Madame Yoshiko Jinzenji, que vous ayez toujours la bonne santé !
Vous êtes admirable !
She has created a beautiful home for herself
“Forging ahead is my lifelong pursuit “
Love her passion and strong will ..she keeps moving and that makes her even stronger. And she said that she rather die than do nothing..she is really very active and always on the move. Respect!👍
I really like her personality :) I can relate to her curiosity and exploratory spirit. Her home is cozy and beautiful. I feel the same way about life. There doesn’t seem enough to time to learn about or explore everything that interests me.
I think if u have a passion in life for anything it keeps u going shes all by herself in her sweet lil abode a picture of good health look at her skin her hair so healthy 🌹Good wishes may she always be like this 🙏🙏
She is living life to the fullest. She has a good kokoro,’ it means heart and spirit and soul and mind all working together.こころ
It’s creative people like this that give me hope that one can create one’s universe. She looks so happy! Beautiful spirit. Great Lady!
Whoah..I really need to move from Tokyo to Mt.Hiei.
There is NO WAY I can have a house like hers here in Tokyo !!!
it's in Kyoto. I visited last year; full of nature ...l want to live there forever.
人生最精彩的...就是能有健康地不斷的探索
Kudos to you for your art, and your house! Straight forward simple living!
Nice space open and very practical, the sun room is like living out doors ...the warm fire burning must really keep things super cozy...yes I could sip tea all day in this house.
I'm a lazy lug (compared to her) who happens to be younger than her only in terms of the number you call age... god! the energy she still carries around her...
What a beautiful soul this woman has! ❤️
Thank you so much for the gift of this video. Yoshiko Jinzenji is a wonderful gift to humanity and the perfect inspiration to me. Love this. ( :
Admiration for the style,
creating a home that allows to do what she loves the most and to live life the way she wants. Simple but full with pleasurable moments each day this is what we all need in this time and age.
Thank you for the inspiration video !
Just to clarify:She didn't build it, she designed it. The construction took 1 1/2 years, not 8.
What an honour and a joy to see a glimpse of this lovely lady’s creative and beautiful life. Thank you. ☺️
A very beautiful and wise lady...
Thank you RUclips. This is exactly what I was looking for. I want to build something very similar and leave it for public use when I am gone.
It seems out of place on this channel. The other videos are strange.
Such an inspiring personality!!!
OMG. I admire this woman and hope to be like her in the near future. I don't think I would ever have such a lovely home - out of my stratosphere - but I will create my own little retreat and plan to keep active which is what all of us should do.
