Once in Japan, I realized that there is a great passion for high quallity. Even your minimalist style looks like a luxurious spa experience. In fact, some people pay quite some money to spend a couple of weeks experiencing an ascetic lifestyle in the mountains with cold water and a bit of zen and maybe a tea ceremony.
;-D
This is true. I lived at a monastery as a lay student for a while and we had many visitors looking for a rest from their busy lives. I think it was part of the mission of the monks to share that with lay people.
@Kazuko Hara yea placing profit as the ultimate good in our society is the biggest issue we face as Americans, planned obsolescence in particular is one of the most criminal practices
With so many people screaming about cultural appropriation it is so refreshing to see so many Japanese people encouraging foreigners to wear kimono and adopt Japanese traditions rather than being upset about it as some other cultures are. Thank you for sharing!
I agree - I have a collection of many kimonos that I love! When I wear a kimono - some people accuse me of cultural appropriation. However, when I go to The Cherry Blossom Festival here in Washington DC - I wear a kimono to the festival. The Japanese people there always say thank you to me, for wearing a kimono. I am not Japanese, but I love Japanese tea, Japanese Food and wearing a Kimono!
@@billieletourneau558 Next time someone screams cultural appropriation at you just say cool and walk away. Leave them in the corner to throw their temper tantrum alone.
The fact that he encourages people to wear kimono does not change the observation that some people use traditions from some countries, in a way that reinforces stereotypes, doesn't respect their original meaning or give credit to their source.
@@donz2894 Just breathe, I swear it's not that deep.
@@donz2894 That is also a fair and respectful observation. Thank you for adding that.
I'm an American minimalist. I have a roll-up bed, two fold-up chairs, two fold-up tables, clothes for every day of the week, four or five books, toiletries, a couple of pots/pans/cups/utensils, and a box of personal records/meaningful items. I don't think I own anything that costs over $200, save for a gold necklace which I've had 40+ years. When I move, I can fit everything in my car and be done in one trip.
Do you keep any keepsakes
Ex-your yearbook
Any old toys
Any
@@eddiegonzalez5070 I have a box, about 2x2x2, that holds those things, including one my first toys, i.e., a plastic woolly mammoth.
@Scorpio The only time I did was a few weeks before the 2020 lockdown at which time I bought about a six-month supply of dried beans and rice. I also think it's important to keep a good supply of water on hand - especially for anyone living in a big city, e.g., Los Angeles, etc.
I like how you show people that minimalism isn't just about how few items you can get by with, but how the few items you have enhance your life, and none of the rest matters. Very nice.
I love how you're teaching about Japanese culture alongside your personal, individualized routine.
Thanks Sarah! I'm gonna introduce more interesting Japanese culture in the future!

I follow a few minimalism channels and a few Japanese vloggers so glad YT recommended this channel!
I agree
The children who have you as a teacher are lucky. Your life seems very simple, mindful, and joyful with a lot of small pleasures spread in the quietness of your living. Very inspiring !
I'm flattered. Thank you so much!
I thought that too, I used to teach children and from every minimalist importance found them yo be in the top list.
@いのふかだ🇯🇵 Girl what the fuck are you talking about?
I agree. It's so heart-breaking to see little children in masks, though.
I wish my children could study for a while in Japan ... thinking of others,respect,cleanliness, food mindfulness etc are life skills so needed and unfortunately not thought in many countries:(
I was sitting here thinking how wonderful the kimono is and I was thinking what it would be like to buy one and wear it at home, I decided that this would probably be an expensive mistake and felt a little sad. Then I looked down and realised I was wearing a long thick dressing gown, made of wonderful material, it was expensive 10 years ago, tied at the waist, also with a hood. I wear it in the mornings here in the UK in the winter and after a bath or shower. I already had my own version of kimono but didnt realise. Sometimes great ideas cross cultures and countries and appear in their own versions as they are a perfect design. I admire your strenght to be minimalist and think I will try the essential oils on a block of wood instead of joss sticks. Be careful of leaving the candle lit at night in a wooden room though......with love and respect from London UK
🥰
Great ideas, consideration of thankfulness...🤲
Impressed by Ur-Saying Restpect from U.K.😅😉👍🙇🙏💮🤣🤣🤣🌬️🌸✨✨
If you live in the West, just wear what you want. Individualism and diversity makes it perfectly accessible. No need to explain or rationalize it to anyone. If someone asks why you wear it, just ask them if they're jealous. Perhaps they'll start wearing it too.
As a tinyhouse resident I am SO excited to discover tenugui. Reclaiming my towel drawer!!
Yeah! Tenugui or MOKU towel would be great! Tenugui tend to fray easily, but it's normal, so that you can tear up, and use it as a small cloth or string.
@@SamuraiMatcha oh thanks for the heads up! I’d probably keep some like that and sew hems on some to keep their shape.
I do have some cotton “flour sack” towels, is tenugui fabric very different from that, or is it a similar idea?
Yes, I love the floursack towels to dry my long hair. Five below has loose weave cotton throws to use as larger towels that will dry faster than thick bath towels.
@@serenakoleno9338 thanks for the tip, I never been to a Five Bellow store, I’ll check it .
While I don’t want to be a minimalist, I do need to declutter my whole life, and you have given me many good ideas. The Petty Knife will be a wonderful gift for one of my daughters, who loves to cook.
I have started to declutter my life. Giving away a lot of things to a resell shop that helps people who are going to rehab. My most prized possessions are going to younger family members. Going to get rid of everything I can live without. Or do my best. I’m older and am just tired of so much clutter! It’s time I made my life as easy on myself that I possibly can.
Amazing how someone advocating for a minimalist lifestyle managed to sell you a knife, even though you probably already have five.
i love how your minimalism also gives you comfort and luxury... essential oils, a nice lamp... it's like you have few things but they all give you a lot of joy :)
I've been reading about washing hair with only water, but after watching your videos, I finally decided to try it. My hair stayed oily for the first couple days, but after a week it looked completely normal! Thank you for sharing your lifestyle.
Thank you for this video! I have always admired Japanese culture for their minimalism, but often wondered if they just rolled their eyes at us for trying to be like them. I live in the USA, where we suffer under the weight of too much food and too many belongings (and too much debt because of it!). We look to Japan to teach us what they have always known and we have long forgotten: how to be content with just enough.
It’s great that you want to live a minimal life. People in Japan don’t mind😊👍Please continue your life the way you want to‼︎
I'm also adopting Japanese ways, and for the same reason
@@SamuraiMatcha Oh, wow, I didn't expect you to reply to me!! Thank you!!
i'm half japanese and live in america. i know very little about japanese culture and language and i also struggle with a lot of clutter in all aspects of my life. just today did i come across your videos and i already feel so much more at peace with my identity as a person of japanese ancestry as well as just feeling peace from witnessing your lifestyle! thank you!
This video was lovely and wholesome. I love it that you included items that you love, instead of just bare necessities. Great video, very inspiring :)!
Thanks always Satu!!
I have always wanted to simplify getting dressed in the morning. The kemono is a great idea for me. I live in northwest Oregon. I would get some looks from town, but I have gotten used to that.
I would not recommend that unless you don't want a social life.
@@Ragnarok540 the nice things about real friends is that they love you, not your clothes
If your friends also dress like that, go for it!
Don't worry about what OTHER people think. What matters is what you think about it. I say go for it. ☆
@@Ragnarok540 You only do something if your friends do it before you? That doesn't seem like a great way to live, you'll always be in their shadow.
From my experience I feel really proud and happy when people from other countries are interested in Czech traditions, food, culture etc
I am an Arab but I absolutely love Japanese culture, food and clothing! I've been wanting to have a kimono for a long time now because I think it's very comfortable and stylish! But I know that people and family around me will call me a weeb and (Culturally alienated) but I don’t really care I want to wear and do what I love and believe is better for me :,)
Thank you for encouraging the embracement of other cultures! This is what we need more of! Love your video!
Thanks;-) I’m happy to hear that!!
The most striking thing about your video is not the objects, but your lifestyle. It is so intentional and simple.
I love this simplicity. Everything is more of an experience and contains stimulation and comfort, yet so simple and clean.
Essential oils really are underrated! People tend to forget smells when it comes to home living
It's an irritant to skin and many people are allergic to scents. Please be careful and let guests know your home contains essential oils. Oils are also toxic to pets.
I live in the US and I always have my little ceremony of Japanese matcha green tea to start my happiness for the day. Love and support your way of living !
Thank you so matcha! Haha
3:12 i surf on the east coast and am always in cold water. its impossible to imagine water that cold if you've never been in it. the fact that you are able to take showers that cold every morning is incredible
Dude. This is the life I've been trying to live for so long. Thank you for sharing your life experiences.
My husband hasn’t used shampoo on his hair for over a year and his hair looks and smells amazing. He decided to give it a try after I told him of a man in his seventies In England who had now used Shampoo on his hair for 36 years and his hair was so healthy, voluminous, pitch black(no dye).
I love your lifestyle! So simple yet functional!
Many years ago, I was lucky enough to do a home-stay with a Japanese family. One of the gifts they gave me was a small iron kettle like yours. Every time I look at it (I don't drink tea, so I have never used it) I remember my trip to Japan.
I love your response to the question about foreigners wearing kimono. In personal experience, I have always been encouraged to experience other people's culture... Unless I'm speaking to someone from America. They say it is "cultural appropriation".
Yet, those stuрid americans have black people dressed mostly in western clothes, use western medicine, western vehicles, western language and western foods. There's nothing american blacks do at all that connects them to their African heritage. They're not even interested in finding out which exact culture they belong, ethnically speaking. Never ever align yourself to American "standards", since they've got none.
Fantastic, clear and well spoken English. He has impressed me with both the content and his delivery!
Thanks!! I worked very hard to make this for you all;-)
His English is superior! Most orientals can't develop such awesome foreign language skills! He's very committed to improvement and not addicted to consumerism and device addiction.
As always really interesting. Made me think if I am able to pick only 12 Items, that are essential items of my life. Had a really good laugh when I saw you dancing in your Kimono in the store :) Stay safe and best wishes from Germany!
I also really enjoyed the inspiring video! Definitely a tricky question what to pick! I think less stricktly I would pick a Bed (4 items), cellphone, laptop, knife, water bottle, pen, college block, bike, food container, barefoot shoes, backpack, cutting board.
Greetings from Munich as well! :)
After watching this, I want to buy so many of these items!
Minimalist uses best of his own items, gives away the rest. Please don't buy more stuff, it's horrible for our planet 💙
"I wake up at 5am and clean my room"
Is this man a God?!
My always routine;-D
Simple living is one of the best thing I learned at school from my teacher; more space for our soul and gratitude ,thank you for sharing this video ; I really love kimono even though I am not from Japan and I think we can learn a lot from Japanese culture about minimalism ( I love less the cold shower as I will be in pain with my muscles -that already suffer -after that )
Hi Aki, I have just started watching your videos and really enjoy them, they have given me a new perspective on some bad recent events in my life. I have started drinking matcha and am thinking a lot about your minimalist way of life and how I can apply it in my life. Keep up the good work, you videos always bring a smile to my face. Thank you so matcha. 💓
Respected Teacher many people teach us what not to do, however you teach us what to do. That is a clear path indeed and therefore we can walk on it without hindrance. My heartfelt thanks to you.
I’m so happy to hear someone that isn’t of the cultural appropriation persuasion. Your pleasure in seeing someone enjoy your culture is of a higher vibe.
Thank you so much;-D I'm happy to heat that. Thanks always!!
It’s fun experiencing your way of life. It makes life very straight forward
Just discovered your channel and I have to say I am extremely impressed! Your content is relaxing and informative, I love that I've learned something about you and your approach to minimalism, but also about your culture.
Thanks;-) I’m happy to hear that!!
I loved this. You're living such a peaceful and productive life! Thanks for sharing it with us.
😊😊👍👍
love seeing people living my dreams
Why aren't you living those dreams? Start today ❤
What a wonderfully refreshing attitude to minimalism! Thank you for sharing!
So happy to see your channel growing! Good things to come in 2022! Love your content and the way you communicate it.
Yes! I'm so happy about it;-D Thanks to all you guys.
I'm from Brazil and, from my perspective, there's a lot of useful tips for my country as well. I may begin with the cold showers and the minimalist towels. Thank you for sharing!
Stayed in Japan for several years. Love your morning schedule. I did the same before. Taking cold water shower even in winter. Living in a city with no four seasons now. Quite a suffer for me. Your video encouraged me a lot. ありがとお〜
Thank you for your video! I am also slowly going and shifting to more and more minimalist lifestyle and adding objects i use and slowly removing objects i dont use. I am not that extremly minimalisic yet but sharing my life with someone i love. My routines also include a lot of studying and reading and excersize. Love your way of life!
Japan is such a beautiful country! I envy you!
You wish to be a conformist and a racist, just like most Japanese? Aki is a very non-typical Japanese. He is extremely different from his peers.
We ordered some Moku towels after watching this video 🥰 I love how compact they are. Regular towels are so bulky! I look forward to using them to see how they compare. Thanks for the recommendation
I enjoyed your video, especially the kimono part. 10 years ago when I travelled to Japan, I got myself 2 kimonos. The best thing ever! When I wear kimono, I feel grounded, calm and focused. :)
I love your videos ,I 'm a huge fan of the japanese culture . And I'm a minimalist who is a 16 years old living with a none minimalist family and I think your life style is so great thank you for sharing your life with us .
Recently I got into your videos and I love them. I love the minimal life you can live and especially that japanese touch in it. Thank you for your videos
Thank you for watching my videos! I try to incorporate Japanese culture in my minimal life;-D
this makes me want to move to a small village in japan this looks so amazing
You better look Japanese if you want to feel comfortable in their racist society.
So inspiring! I really want to become one of those people who never gets sick and to get rid of my allergies and back pain etc, so i'm looking for healthier ways to live. This video made me want to try cold showers, although i am scared to :D I would also love to try your way of doing the laundry!
Sending love and positivity your way from Estonia :)
for pollen allergies there has been a few studies suggesting eating honey made from modtly that type of flower.
back pain can be reduced also throughout working out
I used to work at a Japanese Garden in America and would drink a lot of matcha while I was there. Seeing your video reminded me of that and I want to try to bring that back into my life.
I love Japanese aesthetic. I'm a minimalist at heart maybe this is why? ❤🙌
I love Japanese culture too! Maybe you were Japanese in a past life!!
We are all minimalists at heart. We are consumer addicts through ego and greed. Yes, I'm slowly using up what I've got to be even more minimal than I am. Sadly, I'm permanently disabled and can't afford to discard everything I'm not currently using. At least I'm eating healthy and my body is at stable weight, so I know I'll use up what I have within a decade or so. It's tough living on laughable peanuts I get from the government, barely covers my meds (I'm not even in the US, I'm 🇨🇦).
I’m getting obsessed with his videos. I feel like I need help 😂 it’s so good
You must be a great teacher, because of how inspiring you are. I just have discovered your chanel and I am already hypnotized.
Me too, such a calming and relaxing teaching style 🌿☀️✨ I’ve already learned soo much
I'm in the process of trying to declutter and live more simply and efficiently, and your videos help me a lot!
The stress of having too much unnecessary junk weighs me down, not to mention the waste of money.
Thank you, and many great wishes this year!
What a wonderful lifestyle!! Wise, sensible and light! Delightful.
I'm in the early stages of minimalism. I have a long way to go but watching a day in your life was very enjoyable and calming. Thank you!
Your videos bring me peace and joy. I love your approach of life and living, your values and your sense of the world. Thank you for uploading, you're a reminder of what is important ! Take care of yourself ! :)
Thank you so much!
Love this video your room looks so cozy! I use essential oils in my home also this wooden bowl is perfect! Can’t wait for the next video ❤️
Thanks Katy!! I'll do my best!
thanks for sharing this healing video, i love the way you incorporate Japanese aesthetics into your minimalist lifestyle. it’s inspiring :)
I’m on board until that cold shower. That’s crazy talk but I admire your dedication
Thanks!! It’s really cold now, but I won’t quit;-)
The laundry routine needs it's own video. You could help many of us and the environment by sharing the amount of water and citric acid powder to revitalize the Mg balls. And if we want to use it as softener, how much water and citric acid powder and drops of essential oils to put. Please share the links to where to buy these items too.
It amazes me,about the "minimalists"...I'm a "Southern Belle maximizalist",can't help it!!
I'm impressed with your healthy lifestyle. Thank you for sharing this!
You are so kind and well-spoken. I enjoyed this video so much
Thank you so much! I'll keep doing my best!!!
I liked your video, its simple and straight to the point. The idea of being a minimalist has alway intrigue me. Life can be complicated and always looking for better way to live in a well balance environment. Your video certainly stirs ideas in my head and your list isn't too small to follow. Thank you for sharing.
It's a very recent movement. But you used the word "always" 🤔 Are you born in this century or something?
This video was so inspiring, thanks for sharing, I already own many of the items you mention and lays start my day cleaning a little and then making my tea but I didn’t know that was a Japanese tradition, I also didn’t know you could heat up the cast iron pot on the stove! And the cotton towel is definitely something I will start using from now on!
I love your lifestyle, your humor and great energy. Thanks for your channel, I’m following you now.
Yeah! Thanks for following me;-)
My friend sent me a moku towel from Tokyo. The patterns were so cute I used it to line my glass cabinet and out things on top of it :)
Admire your simple and quality living style. Thanks for introducing great items. Keep up with the great work!
What a beautiful video. Before life got in the way, I used to be a minimalist. Your words have reminded me of what is missing; I have too much stuff! You are an inspiration. Thank you.
I think two words that apply to everything minimalists own are important (to them) and necessary (for their life). I personally know people here in the US that own multiple houses so full of stuff that there are just narrow paths to walk through to get around in. Going into a house like that always makes me look forward to getting back to my mostly empty house with lots of empty floor space.
They also have garages full of junk (but expensive car is exposed to the damage outside). Plus all those storage spaces full of useless garbage at large monthly fees 🤦🏻♀️ I mean...why? Whyyyyyy? 😂
@@mikesamovarov4054 I find that a lot of times the reason keep all that stuff in storage is that "Someday I might need that stuff." or "I'm going to use that someday when X, Y, or Z happens". And most of the time it just sets in storage for years.
Hi Aki, I just found your channel and I'm binging through your content. I'm in the preparation to go nomad for some months starting in April, starting here in Germany with the ultimate goal of reaching Japan by rail and ferry alone (borders permitting). I consider myself a minimalist but I'm still challenged by leaving everything behind. Your content and your cheerful attitude help me in my process of letting go and to look forward to my journey.
ありがとうございます!
Thanks too!
You're living my dream life brother!
Thank you😊👍I’m not perfect but I’m doing my best👍
Thank you for this video. It made me smile.😊 I find your life so relaxing and I love your sense of humor.
Thanks Linada! I'm flattered;-D
Thank you for video. Have a great New Year as well
Thank you for watching my video! Yeah!
What a beautiful video! I really enjoy your story telling style and your sincerity!
I'm not a great English speaker, so this style would be perfect me because I can make a script and record many times even if I make a mistake.haha
@@SamuraiMatcha I am a native English speaker and it still usually takes me several tries to get it right when I make videos in English. I really appreciate your videos, they are inspiring!
You've given me more ideas for future minimal goals. Did embrace no bed/mattress in 2021...love the Fuli grass pad you've linked to! Bamboo bike.. nice!
I just discovered your channel. This is the first Japanese minimalist channel that I have come across. Your contents are great, I love them.
Stumbled unto this at zero dark thirty this morning. I am amazed. Living in the Mojave Desert, I don’t require the warmer items, but they could be useful. My camera is a Sony RX 100-7, my bike is a center drive Befang Fat Tire (it’s a desert out there), my computer is a Raspberry Pi 400 (battery compatible with the e-bike and smartphone) and I drink Gun Powder Green Tea almost exclusively. The Petty knife is likely coming, but I generally use a Chinese style chef’s knife for its thin but wider blade. I like the carry bag, but mostly use a Camel Back pack with 1.5 liter water bladder (43 deg C days are typical here). The Mojave is noted for highly alkaline and mineralized water already. I don’t think I need the magnesium, but I’m looking at the citrus aspect. I’ll have to look at the essential oil thing, that is a new one for me. But this is a highly compatible list of suggestions. Thanks.
I really like your videos. Thaye are very informative and your voice is very soothing.
Thanks Mina! It takes a lot of time to make these videos, but it's fun!
I love your lifestyle. I will work towards a more minimalist lifestyle this year. I feel it is time to let go. Thank you for sharing a day in your life.
あなたの英語は完璧です！あなたが共有する情報は、今日の社会で非常に必要とされています。どうもありがとうございました。✌🏼
ありがとうございます！実はアメリカの友達がスクリプトを作るのを手伝ってくれてるおかげです😉👍
I feel like I can make a complete opposite type video called the 10 000 things I have but don't really need or use
Haha!! That's would be funny!
Me too!!!! 😂😂
Lol! I can relate!
You have motivated me to try to incorporate the hell-shower routine in my life ☠️
Thank you for the beautiful video 🙏🌸
Thanks!! I recommend you to try a bit warm water!! Haha
My man, you are so inspiring. I am loving your content and good vibes. Thank you for sharing!!!
Many thanks, Samarai Matcha. Another use for metal tea kettle is wrapped in blanket to warm feet, or hot towel/blanket upon leaving shower. Fascinating, thought provoking video.
I've always wondered what wearing a kimono would be like. Maybe one day I'll get the chance to try one!😊
Yeah, you can try;-D It'll be great!
These items are fantastic suggestions! They are incredibly minimal yet have much utility and longevity. Thank you for sharing!🤗
Thank you so much!! I'm happy to hear that!
Love this - so inspiring as I continue to peel away complication in my life. Thx pal.
thank you for watching my video!
Your energy is fantastic! Optimism and the spirit are in short supply. Your video made my day! Keep up the good work! I am going to try the freezing shower tomorrow!
First time in your channel, wow I love minimalism and Japanese Culture. ❤️
Thank you 😉👍
Those cold showers do amazing things for the body. I've been taking them for about a year now.
Great!! how cold it is?
If I can move even a tiny bit towards your luxurious minimalism, my life will be better.
I love your videos. They're so calming. 😌
That little dance in the supermarket 😂
Haha! My friend there didn't notice that. haha
...and then kids come along! ; ) ...seriously cool ideas and mindset! I feel this way about ultralight backpacking with 12 items (other than clothing) into the backcountry for 4-5 nights.
Ground Pad
Sleeping Bag
Trekking Poles
Dyneema Tarp
Stakes
JetBoil Stove (like yours!)
Food
H20 Filter/Bag
Spoon
Phone/Camera
Sunglasses/Hat
Backpack
....the simplicity of minimal gear allows for a more natural connection with the backcountry.
Wow, I just stumbled on this video and you helped me a lot because I needed inspiration. Your appreciation of wonderful items and how important senses and rituals are made me rethink my own ways.
So many things I can't wait to discover, like how to make Japanese tea
Thank you!!
