Japanese concepts that will help you improve your life
For centuries traditional Japanese wisdom and culture has been promoted in modern society as something we can all learn from and model of. Qualities such as harmony, patience, acceptance & mutual respect are just some of the common Japanese values that are often mentioned.
The word ‘Jinsei’ translated in English refers to human life, or the good life. Jinsei Tab will help you take a break from the never-ending to do lists and day to day chaos that sometimes exists in our fast paced lives. By reminding ourselves to look within and reflect on what is really important. The Jinsei extension displays Japanese concepts and practices that, if adopted and practised, can improve the quality of your life. And help us to exercise patience and connect us closer with nature and each-other.
