@karenslifeinjapan: You’re wasting money every day. In Japan, we call this Mottainai. Use everything. Waste nothing. This is how we feel rich. What do you reuse in your life? #simpleliving #frugalliving #minimalism #japanlife #nowaste #slowliving
Mottainai is one of those concepts that once you learn it, you can’t unsee how much the Western consumer model is built entirely on forgetting it exists.
