Going to Tokyo

イメージ
Yesterday, I went to Tokyo for a business meeting and to attend a seminar by Dr. Ken Mogi, a neuroscientist, in Shinjuku. Tokyo is so crowded—it felt like a completely different world, even though it’s only about 80 km from where I live. During the seminar, there were several things I wanted to ask Dr. Mogi, especially about AI, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. This was actually the fifth time I attended his seminar. For some reason, every time I go, I’m left with a sense that something is unfinished. So yesterday, after the seminar, I asked him one question about AI. He seemed uninterested and looked like he wanted to leave soon. But that’s okay. He is a world-renowned neuroscientist and a bestselling author—why would he be interested in my question?   English edited by ChatGPT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Japan Trading ・ Exporting quality Japanese used industrial machinery worldwi...

Math and Cherry Blossoms

イメージ
Before I knew it, time had passed, and it is now cherry blossom season in Japan. However, it was cold today. Today, I was watching Lex Fridman ’s podcast on YouTube. Since I am interested in mathematics, I watched an interview with Joel David Hamkins that was posted two months ago. I only watched a few minutes, and it was difficult for me to understand everything. But I found the part I watched very interesting. Joel said that every number is interesting, and that he can prove it. His idea is that if there were any boring numbers, there would only be a few of them. And that, in itself, would make those numbers interesting. Then I thought I could apply the same idea to people. I think every person is interesting. So even if there are “boring” people, they must be rare—and that makes them interesting too. I also thought about this: if there is a God, perhaps he or she would think the same way. There may not be a single uninteresting person. I’m not sure if I understood Joel correct...

Origami Cranes for Health and Peace

イメージ
One of my friends has fallen ill and is now in the hospital. As her coworkers, we are praying for her recovery and have started making paper cranes out of origami. In Japan, paper cranes are symbols of longevity and happiness. They are also widely known around the world as a symbol of peace. This meaning comes from the story of Sadako Sasaki, who died at the age of 12 from leukemia caused by the atomic bombing. She was exposed to radiation when she was two years old. Anyone who comes across this blog, please close your eyes for a few seconds and imagine little Sadako folding paper cranes, wishing for her recovery.

Proudly Introducing Japanese Instant Ramen

イメージ
If you have never tried Japanese instant ramen, you absolutely should. If you visit a Japanese factory at lunchtime, you will easily find people enjoying instant ramen. It’s a common and beloved meal. When I was a child, one day, my father gave me instant ramen after swimming on hot summer days. I still remember thinking, “Is there really anything this delicious in the world?” An essential item for enjoying cup noodles is an electric kettle. Now that I think about it, I don’t see them very often in other countries, but most Japanese households have one. Thanks to these electric kettles, you can enjoy your ramen in just 3 minutes. In Japan, many households keep hot water ready at all times with an electric water dispenser. This is one of the reasons why instant ramen can be enjoyed so quickly and easily. In many other countries, however, people boil water only when needed. English edited by ChatGPT ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Japan Trading ・ Exporting quality Japan...

Kusamochi – A Spring Rice Cake with Mugwort

イメージ
I love kusamochi , a traditional Japanese sweet made with mugwort. Around this time of year, many Japanese confectionery shops start selling kusamochi. It is one of the sweets that reminds people of spring in Japan. Mugwort is a hardy plant and has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. There are two common styles of kusamochi. One contains sweet red bean paste inside, and the other is served with kinako (roasted soybean flour) on top. This time, I had the kinako style. It was covered with a light green, fragrant kinako made from green soybeans. These sweets have a beautiful natural color and really make you feel that spring has arrived.

Monono Aware

イメージ
Before I knew it, time had passed and the peach blossoms had quietly fallen. After the peach blossoms finish blooming, the cherry blossoms begin to bloom. Yet the cherry blossoms also fall in an instant. At times like these, we Japanese feel a sense of mono no aware . I don’t know how to translate it perfectly into English. But like these flowers, we feel that life itself is very fleeting. Looking at those blossoms, I found myself thinking that humans are foolish. Why do we kill one another? The seasons pass, life will pass, and one day I too will be gone from this world. That is the law of nature. Why do we break those laws?

How to Make a Japanese Egg Sandwich

イメージ
When MLB players and reporters visited Japan, many of them talked about Japanese convenience store egg sandwiches. Some even said they were the best sandwiches they had ever eaten. I wondered what was so special about egg sandwiches from Japanese convenience stores. To me, they seemed very ordinary. Anyway, this is the egg sandwich that I made at home. Actually, it's very easy to make. How to Make Japanese Egg Sandwich Boil the eggs and chop them with a spoon or knife. Add salt, pepper, and mayonnaise. This time, I also added some chopped cheese. Spread mayonnaise, butter, or margarine on the bread. Then add lettuce or shredded cabbage. Place the egg mixture on top of the vegetables and cover with another slice of bread. Cut the sandwich in half. It's ready to enjoy! Add Cheese Add cabbage Japan Trading is exporting Japanese used industrial machinery worldwide.

Machinery Job Change Site

イメージ
One of our vendors has an interesting name for their website. If translated directly from Japanese, it means “Machinery Job Change Site.” Through this site, machinery in Japan is actually “changing jobs.” I found this idea very interesting — thinking about machines almost like people. Inspired by this idea, I realized that what I am doing is helping machinery change jobs internationally. In Japan, many machines are sleeping somewhere in factories or warehouses. An order from overseas could be a wake-up call for those machines. Today, we have an Airman Compressor available for sale. It is waiting for your wake-up call! 👇 See more details Airman PDS100S Portable Diesel Air Compressor (2010) English edited by ChatGPT ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Japan Trading ・Exporting Japanese used machinery worldwide.   🔗  Visit our official Japan Trading page       🔗   See machines available now   🔗  Explore our machines on Machineryline ・J...

My Photo for MachineryLine

イメージ
I was thinking about taking a photo of myself for my MachineryLine page. Just thinking about it makes me feel very embarrassed. But I decided to take a photo of myself working on my laptop. The problem is that there were some stickers on my computer, and they had nothing to do with my work. So I had no choice but to peel them off. However, that created another problem — the area where the stickers were became dirty. What should I do? Apparently, I don't have time to clean it properly. So I simply put my logo on my computer like this. It may not be perfect, but this is how I am building my business, step by step.

Japan Paradox #6 | “Safety and Reassurance” News in a War Zone

イメージ
Japan Paradox #6 NHK, Japan’s public broadcaster, has started special broadcasts for Japanese people living in Iran and surrounding regions. The news is described as information for “safety and reassurance.” However, if emergency radio is needed in a war zone, the situation is already far from safe. This small example shows how language can soften the reality of dangerous situations. Words like “safety and reassurance” may sound comforting, but they can also hide the seriousness of what is really happening. Reality is far from safe. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Japan Trading ・Exporting Japanese used machinery worldwide.   🔗  Visit our official Japan Trading page       🔗   See machines available now   🔗  Explore our machines on Machineryline ・Join our global sales partnership program.       🔗  Sales Partner Wanted

Green Tea Icecream

イメージ
Today, I was preparing a used machine to sell online. It is an Amada HA250 , a popular automatic band saw. Since I had been working on this all day from the morning, I didn't go out until the evening. In the evening, I read Dr. Ken's post about matcha (green tea) and suddenly started craving green tea ice cream. So I went to the nearby convenience store. The nearest convenience store is only a three-minute walk from my house. While eating this ice cream, I thought I would like to give a Nobel Peace Prize to the person who invented green tea ice cream — if I had the right to do so. Dr. Ken said that matcha ice cream is a pristine example of the “Nagomi” principle. He also said the following: Nagomi is an apotheosis of diversity and inclusion. Like many things in Japan, it does not need to be overly politically correct or controversial. I want everyone to eat this matcha ice cream and feel the “Nagomi” principle. If more people understood the spirit of “Nagomi”, ma...
