🎙 Just Another Human

This week, I’m talking about my dream to live in a traditional Japanese countryside house—and why that might be harder than it sounds.

From Japan’s “Empty House Problem” to moldy clothes, freezing winters, and shoji magic, I share my experience living in a super old house in snowy Ishikawa and what I’ve learned about why Japanese homes were never really built for the cold. I also talk about what I’m looking for in my future home, and how DIY culture is giving these homes a second life.

If you’re into Japanese design, rural life, or just curious about how people actually live in Japan, this one’s for you!
