I am Tommy.<\/p>\n<p>I`ve moved to Ichinomiya city which is the biggest production area for yarns and fabrics in Japan. It\u2019s a complicated story but somehow I have ended up working for Aoyama Sen-i Kakoh. I have been working in yarn industry for the past 10 years including my previous job and I always wanted to sell Japanese yarns worldwide. So I decided to set up a preparation time in Ichinomiya where full of ideas and techniques to produce fancy yarns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" class=\"wp-image-609\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_6_680.jpg?resize=680%2C510&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_6_680.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_6_680.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I`ve had opportunities to go to various places for work, and actually lived in Osaka, London, and Kyoto. I usually don\u2019t mind where the people come from but having lived here for the last 2 months. I have found that Kyoto and Ichinomiya are quite different. Each city has different character and the mind of the people are also a little bit different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" class=\"wp-image-608\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_5_680.jpg?resize=680%2C510&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_5_680.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_5_680.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/>\n<p>My impression of the people here is that they are very open minded and tend to show off, attractive, sometimes dry, but very warm hearted.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Its only 2 months but I have already met a lot of lovely (strange) people. A one talks to God every morning, a one who incredibly takes care of everything necessary for a new life for me, and a one with a lion face who keeps talking to me in strong dialect and leave me behind being confused because I didn\u2019t understand the word of Ketta which referred to as a bicycle here. Above all, the people at Aoyama Sen-I Kakoh who seem to be herbivores but are actually full of spirit. Every day is a wonderland. I really enjoy my life here being surrounded unique people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"907\" class=\"wp-image-604\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_1_680.jpg?resize=680%2C907&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_1_680.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_1_680.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I live in this city and feel &#8220;this is possible&#8221; every day.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the world is covered by turbulence triggered by COVID 19. But I believe this city has the guts to push forward as if there was nothing like COVID 19. I wish I could be a help for them.By the way, I live near the Kiso River, which is a little outside of the city, so I feel a little inconvenience. There are 2 big super markets and I think it would be quite difficult living here if there weren\u2019t them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I love saunas. When I was in Kansai, I used to go to the public baths in my&nbsp; neighborhood, but if I go to the public baths here, I have to blow the Ketta Machine to the public bath which is 5 kilometers away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"907\" class=\"wp-image-605\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_2_680.jpg?resize=680%2C907&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_2_680.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_2_680.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sauna with TV installed is quite large and can accommodate about 15 people. And here again, full of strange people.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of them are talking to themselves even when they are on their own.When a symbolical signboard of Osaka appeared on the screen, you heard the soliloquy &#8220;that is Osaka&#8221; or &#8220;I knew it&#8221; when the criminal was revealed in a soap opera. It`s like saying I know what you don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>One day, when a security camera image of a car vandalism appeared on the screen, I heard an old guy saying &#8220;Oh,Lexus&#8221; and I replied `that\u2019s not a point` in my mind.After taking a sauna, you can buy vegetables at a farmer who sells on the street at the parking lot of a public bath. It&#8217;s cheap, fresh, with scars and I always buy them because vegetables with scars look real to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" class=\"wp-image-607\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_4_680.jpg?resize=680%2C510&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_4_680.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_4_680.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"907\" class=\"wp-image-606\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_3_680.jpg?resize=680%2C907&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_3_680.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moffy.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201207_3_680.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I am happy living my new life here.I still have a lot of things I want to write, but I will carry them over to the next time.<\/p>\n<p>See you&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tommy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nice to meet you.
