S02E02 : Why Japanese People Arrive Early | The Quiet Kindness of Being On Time

from YOHAKU Radio: A Pause with Japanese Wisdom by Tatsu san | English · host Tatsu san たつさん

In this episode, we explore why punctuality in Japan is often felt not just as seriousness or efficiency, but as a quiet form of care that protects shared space, shared time, and each person’s inner sense of ease. ----------------------------------- 🌱 TODAY'S QUESTION ----------------------------------- When you are kept waiting, and when you are the one who keeps someone waiting, does your body react in different ways? Do you notice heaviness in the chest, shallow breathing, or a lack of calm? Does that feeling come closer to apology? Or closer to the anxiety of being out of sync with the flow?
