Day 607 🌿 New Moss, a Little Mold & a Zen Thought from Tokyo

September 2, 2026 — 8:05 AMTokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

The sky looks a little unsettled today, and the air feels slightly humid.

This morning, I noticed what looks like new moss growing around my Serissa bonsai. 🌿

But my Asahiyama Sakura is showing a different kind of change.

I found a little mold growing on the rope holding the moss in place.

The same humid morning.

New moss on one bonsai.

Mold on the other.

Today’s Zen phrase is:

柳緑花紅 — Ryūryoku Kakō

“The willow is green, the flower is red.”

Things do not have to change in the same way.

Each simply follows its own nature and conditions.

Instead of immediately calling a change good or bad, perhaps I can first stop and observe what is happening.

Day 607 begins with two bonsai, two different changes, and another humid morning in Tokyo. 🌿

Day 606 🌿 A Spider Web on My Bonsai | A Cool Morning in Tokyo

September 1, 2026 — 6:43 AMTokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

It’s cloudy today, with a high of around 29°C.

After so many hot summer mornings, 29°C somehow feels cool.

This morning, I noticed a small spider web on the trunk of my Serissa bonsai. 🕸️

Is it a good sign?

I’m not sure, but I like knowing that a tiny life has chosen this little tree as its home.

My Asahiyama Sakura is a different story. Part of its trunk looks dry, so I’ll keep watching it carefully.

Today’s Zen word is:

観 — Kan

“Observe before you judge.”

Not every change needs an immediate answer.

Sometimes, we simply watch and wait.

A spider web, a dry trunk, two bonsai, and a cloudy September morning in Tokyo.

Summer is slowly beginning to feel a little farther away. 🌿

Day 605 🌿 A Cloudy Morning, Watering My Bonsai & One Zen Word | Nikon

📝 Description

Day 605 🌿August 31, 2026 — 8:13 AMTokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

The sky is cloudy again today.

It doesn’t look like we’re going to get much rain, so this morning, I decided to water my two bonsai myself. 🌿💧

It is a very small part of my daily routine.

Look at the soil.Look at the leaves.Think about the weather.And decide whether they need water.

Today, one Japanese Zen phrase came to mind:

而今 — Nikon

It can be understood as:

“This very moment.”

We often think about what might happen later.

Will it rain?

Will the weather change?

Will these bonsai grow well?

But right now, none of those questions have an answer.

What I can do is simply look at the bonsai in front of me and give them the water they need today.

Maybe that is one small way to experience Zen in everyday life.

Nothing dramatic.

Just a cloudy morning in Tokyo, two bonsai, a little water, and this moment.

Thank you for spending another morning with me.

See you on Day 606. 🌿

Watering with a Caring Heart 🌿 Rōshin & Two Bonsai in Humid Tokyo | Day 601

Description

Day 601 🌿

August 27, 2026 — 7:49 AM

Tokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

The sky is cloudy today, but it is still very hot and humid.

It looks like we may get some rain this evening.

This morning, I am going to water my two bonsai again — Serissa and Asahiyama Sakura. 🌿💧

Perhaps the rain will come later.

Perhaps they already have enough water.

But first, I want to look carefully at how they are today.

This morning reminds me of a Zen teaching:

老心 — Rōshin

Rōshin can be understood as a caring heart — like the heart of a parent looking after a child.

For me, caring for bonsai can sometimes feel a little like this.

Not simply giving water because it is part of a routine.

Look at the moss.

Feel the weather.

Notice the condition of the trees.

And then decide what they need today.

Rōshin.

To care does not always mean doing more.

Sometimes it means simply paying attention.

Even after 600 days, I still want to look at these two bonsai carefully, one morning at a time.

From a cloudy and humid morning in Tokyo. 🌿

I share these small moments from Japan every day.

Thank you for always watching.

If you enjoy this journey, I would be very happy if you subscribed to the channel. 🇯🇵🌿

Merawat dengan Hati 🌿 Zen Jepang “Rōshin” | Day 601

Deskripsi

Day 601 🌿

27 Agustus 2026 — 7:49 pagi

Tokyo, Jepang

Selamat pagi dari Tokyo.

Hari ini langit Tokyo berawan, tetapi udara masih sangat panas dan lembap. Sepertinya hujan akan turun sore nanti.

Pagi ini, saya akan kembali menyiram dua bonsai saya — Serissa dan Asahiyama Sakura. 🌿💧

Kata Zen hari ini adalah:

老心 — Rōshin

Merawat bonsai bukan hanya soal memberi air.

Melihat lumut.

Memperhatikan cuaca.

Dan memahami apa yang dibutuhkan tanaman hari ini.

Rōshin.

Terkadang, merawat berarti berhenti sejenak dan memperhatikan dengan penuh kasih.

Hari ke-601, saya kembali menjaga dua bonsai kecil ini dari Tokyo. 🌿

Saya berbagi dari Jepang setiap hari.

Terima kasih sudah menonton.

One Meeting, One Moment 🌿 Ichigo Ichie with Two Bonsai & a Tiny Spider | Day 600

Description

Day 600 🌿August 26, 2026 — 8:06 AMTokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

Today is Day 600.

I have been able to continue this journey because of everyone who has watched and supported me.

Thank you so much.

Tokyo is still hot and humid, but reaching Day 600 makes this summer morning feel especially joyful.

As usual, I checked my two bonsai — Asahiyama Sakura and Serissa.

Today, there was a small spider on the outside of their containers. 🕷️

I do not know whether it is really catching insects and helping the bonsai, but recently it has started to feel like a tiny guardian watching over them.

For Day 600, the Zen-inspired phrase that came to mind is:

一期一会 — Ichigo Ichie

It is often understood as:

“One time, one meeting.”

This moment will never return in exactly the same way.

This morning.

This weather.

These two bonsai.

This little spider.

And everyone watching this video today.

Even if tomorrow looks similar, it will not be exactly the same moment.

That is what makes today precious.

Sometimes we wait for something bigger.

More growth.

More flowers.

More results.

But perhaps the value is already here, in this one meeting with this one day.

Ichigo Ichie.

Day 600 is not only a milestone.

It is also a moment that exists only once.

So today, I want to simply appreciate it.

Thank you for being part of this moment with me.

From a hot summer morning in Tokyo, together with Asahiyama Sakura, Serissa, and their tiny guardian. 🌿🕷️

600 Days of Gratitude 🌿 Chisoku, Two Bonsai & a Tiny Guardian | Day 600

Description

Day 600 🌿
August 26, 2026 — 8:06 AM
Tokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

Today marks Day 600.

I have been able to continue this journey because of everyone who has watched and supported me.

Thank you very much.

Tokyo is still hot and humid today, but reaching Day 600 makes me so happy that the summer heat almost feels easier to bear.

As usual, I checked my two bonsai — Asahiyama Sakura and Serissa.

Today, I noticed a small spider on the outside of their containers. 🕷️

I do not know whether it is actually catching insects and protecting the bonsai.

But recently, it has started to feel like a tiny guardian of these two bonsai.

For Day 600, the Zen word that came to mind is:

知足 — Chisoku

It means:

“Knowing what is enough.”

Sometimes I want the bonsai to grow more.

I want flowers to bloom.

I want more people to watch these videos.

But today, I want to stop for a moment and look at what is already here.

Asahiyama Sakura is here.

Serissa is here.

The little spider is here.

And there are people who have watched this journey for 600 days.

When we notice what is already here, there is already so much to be grateful for.

That is what Chisoku means to me today.

Day 600 is not the finish line.

It is simply another point along the journey.

Tomorrow, there may be no dramatic change.

But I will keep observing these two bonsai, one day at a time.

Thank you so much for these 600 days.

From a hot summer morning in Tokyo, together with Asahiyama Sakura, Serissa, and their tiny guardian. 🌿🕷️

A Bigger Heart for Small Things 🌿 Japanese Zen, Bonsai & a Tiny Spider | Day 599

Description

Day 599 🌿25 August 2026 — 8:04 AMTokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

Today is expected to be another extremely hot day in Tokyo.

This morning, after quite a while, I watered my two bonsai — Serissa and Asahiyama Sakura.

As I looked closely at the surface of the moss, I thought:

“No insects today.”

Then suddenly, a small spider jumped out. 🕷️

It had been hiding there all along.

Perhaps it has been catching some of the tiny insects around my bonsai.

I cannot know for certain, but if so — thank you, little spider.

Arigataya.What a small thing to be grateful for.

It made me think of a Japanese Zen expression:

大心 — Daishin

Literally, it can be understood as a “great mind” or “big heart”.

To me, Daishin suggests having a mind spacious enough not to see everything only through the question:

“Is this useful to me or not?”

The moss.

The insects.

The spider.

The water.

And the two bonsai enduring the Tokyo summer.

They are all part of this tiny world.

Perhaps caring for bonsai is not only about making a tree grow beautifully.

It can also teach us to notice the small lives and changes that we might normally overlook.

Daishin.

A wider heart.

A little less judgement.

And perhaps a little more gratitude for what quietly exists around us.

On this extremely hot morning in Tokyo, I water my two bonsai and say:

Thank you, little spider.If you are protecting my bonsai, I’m grateful. 🌿🕷️

Not Every Day Has to Be Perfect 🌿 Japanese Zen & Bonsai from Tokyo | Day 593

Description

Day 593 🌿Tokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

I’m Japanese, and today I’d like to share another small thought from Japanese Zen.

This morning, Tokyo is still rather humid, but the sky is clear with only a few clouds.

As usual, I checked my two bonsai — Asahiyama Sakura and Serissa.

Yesterday, I removed some of the moss from the Asahiyama Sakura. This morning, it doesn’t appear to have spread again.

On the Serissa, I can’t see any insects on the surface of the moss, and it doesn’t look particularly dry either.

Nothing dramatic has happened.

No sudden growth.

No flowers have appeared.

And perhaps that is precisely why today’s Zen phrase feels appropriate:

日々是好日 — Hibi Kore Kōjitsu

It is often understood as:

“Every day is a good day.”

But that doesn’t mean every day must be perfect or happy.

Some days are difficult.

Some bring small changes.

And on some days, almost nothing seems to happen at all.

Perhaps the point is to meet each day as it actually is, rather than constantly asking whether it is a “good” or “bad” one.

Today, the sky is clear.

The moss hasn’t spread.

The Serissa doesn’t look dry.

Nothing extraordinary.

But this is still today.

Hibi Kore Kōjitsu.

A day doesn’t have to be remarkable to have value. 🌿

Here, in This Very Moment 🌿 Japanese Zen & Bonsai from Tokyo | Day 592

Description

Day 592 🌿Tokyo, Japan

Good morning from Tokyo.

I’m Japanese, and today I’d like to share a simple idea from Japanese Zen.

Today’s words are:

今此処 — Ima Koko

Literally:

“Here, now.”

Our minds have a habit of wandering.

Sometimes we return to yesterday.

“Perhaps I should have done things differently.”

At other times, we rush ahead to tomorrow.

“What might happen next?”

But my bonsai are always here, in the present.

When I look at my Asahiyama Sakura and Serissa, I can only observe how they are today.

Is the soil still damp?

How does the moss look?

Has anything changed since yesterday?

These are very small questions, but perhaps that is the point.

Ima Koko.

We don’t always need to search for something extraordinary.

Sometimes it is enough simply to notice what is directly in front of us.

A small bonsai.

A patch of moss.

The morning air in Tokyo.

And ourselves, standing here and observing it all.

Yesterday has already passed.

Tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet.

But this moment is here.

今此処 — Ima Koko.

Perhaps a few quiet minutes with a bonsai can teach us something surprisingly simple:

Be where you are.Notice what is here.Live this moment before moving on to the next. 🌿
