Gathering Everyday Life, Weaving Myself — Checking My Life's Current Position in a Non‑Touristy Nagoya

A record of 3 nights and 4 days in Nagoya spent “living rather than sightseeing.” Visiting supermarkets, coffee shops, and bookstores, I remeasured where my daily life stands. This small book collects the quiet realizations I picked up during unremarkable times.

Lately I've started to think about "loving the everyday." It's not glamorous, but I find myself wondering how to spend my plain, steady life. From my student days through my twenties I used to head out somewhere to get through a flat routine or schedule a few monthly events to taste the extraordinary. That was enjoyable in its way, but in my thirties I've increasingly reexamined how to live day to day and how to enjoy it.

I live in a small town in Ehime Prefecture with a population of about 10,000, where forests occupy more than half of the area. Nagoya, on the other hand, is a large city and the opposite in many ways. I spent four days in Nagoya to see what happens when I live in such a contrasting place — aiming not to tour the sights but to spend my time as if I were a Nagoya resident.

This is a personal record of visiting Nagoya to check the current position of my life. I hope it can be a trigger for readers to reconsider their own “likes” and values.
