My commuting routine involves riding a bicycle in rural Japan along rice fiels and mountains in the far distance. One day I crossed path with a young-ish woman on her way to a nearby field. She told me she's growing strawberries, leak onion and potatoes for her family (5 ppl) and for some relatives living in Osaka.

@flynn_wake Although there is some resemblance with manga/anime in terms of landscapes and locations, Japan and its people are actually very different to what these media portray. · 6 months ago

I've never been to japan, but your log filled my mind with a collage of memorabilia coming from movies and photos and videos that made me almost feel the counter-wind on my face.

(I think I'll add strawberries to my groceries list.) · 6 months ago
