In Japan, money is rarely handed over as bare cash when the relationship matters. It’s placed in an envelope. A simple gesture—but one that adds respect, clarity, and dignity. It turns a transaction into something more. In a culture that values harmony (wa), even money is handled with care. Another small insight into Japan’s art of community. About me: I’m Lowell Sheppard, 71, sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore aging, place, and community across Japan. follow Japan Solo on Instagram and Substack and check out the Never Too Late Academy https://nevertoolateacademy.com #Japan #JapaneseCulture #MoneyEnvelope #JapanSolo #CulturalInsights #LifeLessons #Respect #Tradition #Wa #Harmony #JapanLife
I was watching one of those videos about how to be healthier, happier, more productive by a beautiful American. As so often, they were pontificating on the things that are essential parts of a daily routine. One of the most popular trends for that at the moment is how essential it is to go outside first thing in the morning and get 10 minutes of sunlight. Clearly, they have never lived in North Wales (or Manchester where we ere before). We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
