    My family traveled Japan by train in the early 1960s. Some of the trains were very old, with open windows. We were able to see the amazing, ancient countryside. The bullet train at 120mph, was terrifying. The view through the train windows was a blur. I still have the kimonos my mother bought for us. What a treasure.

      You have fantastic memories Mari. It must surely have been very different 60 years ago. Shinkansen is up to 150 mph now and I'm sure they're working on ways of going even faster. I first visited Japan & in fact Kyushu in 1982 & the differences that I see in 40 years was noticeable. As a gaigin, in the rural villages I was a rare sight. No doubt in the '60's you got lots of looks & stares.
      I grew to respect, love and admire many things about the Japanese and love returning with my friends & family to see old Japanese acquaintances. Likewise they also visit us and bring with them young generations that have only seen the west through the lens of a tv screen. Covid is delaying our overdue reunions. I now have only my memories.
      I wonder, do you occasionally open your draw, touch your kimono and relive your 60's visit?

    Start by having reverence for one's ancestors. Be proud of what ancestors have done, particularly relics of what ancestors have produced. If enough people venerate (or desire to improve upon) the works of their ancestors, the environment is treasured, old skills are passed through generations, and, art is respected. When too many people do not, the past becomes nothing more than something to be consumed, old skills skills are forgotten, and, art ceases being refined.

      @@StephiSensei26 well put. Sweden where am originally from we have alot of both train and bus commuters.
      Take my hometown as an example and look It up on Google maps (Simrishamn) and the closest large city (Malmo), where thousands of people commute daily to work and back. It's 1:20 minute comfortable train ride of a distance of 100km (60 miles). It makes multiple stops along the way to pick/drop of other commuters aswell. It can get pretty crowded in rush hours, which I admit makes me feel stressful. But then on the other hand if you go 5 days a week all year round you get used to having people around.
      The few times a year I visit my family I most times take the train if I am going into the city for a day out. (never on rush hour) And just sit back and relax. I normally make myself a few sandwiches and some brewed coffee to enjoy the ride in peace and reflect on life and what the future holds for me.
      Without a doubt it is much more enjoyable taking the train rather than the car.

    When I was on Osaka station a luxury train similar to Seven Stars was stopping by,
    so I and my girlfriend took some photos of the train.
    An elderly couple riding the train noticed us, and the grandma smiled and waved to us.
    It was so heartwarming.

    I used to live in Japan, and miss it. It is sad to think that despite how disciplined and organised the Japanese are (and very clean!) that they are having a hard time controlling the Covid from China. Hoping by the end of 2021, Japan is back to its old self.
