Kachoufugetsu - the beauty of nature. Kyoto’s harmony with nature, spirit and people is inspiring. We took a boat up the Katsura River to @hoshinoya.official Kyoto and were transported into an 111 year old inn nestled into a forest. Posts won’t do it justice suffice to say it’s a grail trip and stay. Thank you to Carlo for the recommendation 🙏🏼.
Few things in life live up to the hype - Japan is one of them. The people aren’t as warm as they are in Mexico, Costa Rico or Thailand - and there is a sense of order and unified culture cut through by individualism. The Japanese food has been worshiped for years - and for good reason. There is a sense of pride and craftsmanship that goes into every meal (what you see on the menu is what you will get on your plate). I would say the Japanese culture is one of craft more than art - similar to mid-century modern furniture and houses or 30s-50s Hollywood films. It’s not an absence of art in the work but a sense of duty in what’s being created that is greater than the individual artistic focus. And in that everything becomes timeless and worthy of respect and dutiful care. I also feel a sense of sadness and misplaced nostalgia walking through the cities - Japan is the mythical “50s” Americana that never ended. A culture based on respect, craft, and public benefit with investments in parks, transportation and street cleaning. The obligation driving much of it is an acceptable trade for the harmony, safety and beauty of this society. This could have been America had we pushed our capital into investments for the people vs the military industrial complex and forever wars.
Be good. Be happy. Be love. See you soon. I’ll be back on my phone and computer April 20th. Check your email while I am away. Little surprises will trickle to you. I love you. ~Donna
What an amazing month March has been - culminating in my 50th today 😮💨 👴🏼. Catalina, dinners at @vespertine.la , @damafashiondistrict , @barxuntos , spending time on the water, multiple Laker Games (and wins!), and just blessings on blessings - an abundance of family, friends and beautiful experiences. Truly looking forward to the next decade - best one ever!
