    自分は海外生活長いのですが日本で昔から言い伝えられている名言に
    何度救われたか知りません。自分を見失いそうになった時
    亡き祖母や両親が口にしていた言葉が浮かび進むべき道を照らしてくれました。
    合理性だけを追求したアメリカンセンスに押し潰されそうになった時も
    己を貫いてこれた事に深く日本の先人の教えに敬服しています。

    In France, leaves clover is also a good sign haha. When I was a child, children spent a lot of time trying to find one with 4 leaves 🤭. But, people only said that 4 leaves clover bring you a HUGE good fortune in your life if you find him. And it's funny to remember how people - even adults - were SO happy and proud when they find one by chance 😂. Number 3 and 8 are also number of good forturne here, with number 5 too, but I don't know why haha. However number 3 is more common as a sign of good forturne here, I guess. Maybe because of the influence of the christians religion in our history, with concept of the trinity. But I'm not sure. Thank you for this video, it was really interesting 😊.

    The two superstitions that stood out to me the most are the one about the number 8 and the one about relieving nervousness. I'm actually beginning to learn Japanese so I'm interested to learn more about the language. And the 4th one is a very interesting way to think about nervousness. Thanks for sharing :) Your videos really helped me these past two months. I get rid of more things everyday and finally am developing good habits and have an established morning routine. The first part of the routine is to make matcha! But I haven't been able to have it these past few days because the one I ordered has even shipped yet. Not being able to make matcha actually affects how I feel :( Another part of my everyday habits I got from your video about chanoyu inspired tips to keep one's room simple : cleaning/organizing when you wake up and before going to bed. But anyways. Getting rid of more and more things feels so great. I changed and am getting better, and your videos have once again been a big part of that. Thanks :D

    Dear Aki, 💚
    thank you for conveying so much positivity and joy through your videos. I often watch them when I'm not in such a good mood and have not only gained a smile on my face afterwards, but also new inspiration. 🍵
    I find superstition (as long as you don't limit your life because of it) a very cute and childlike thing - a kind of socially accepted magic that adults still take seriously.
    If we can believe in superstition, shooting star wishes or magic words for our tea, then it also means we can believe in manifestation and the law of attraction, because it's the same principle. 😀
    Love and Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
