Azumi-san, You offered a previous 5 minute talk about Ikigai, that is absolutely wonderful. I watched and was inspired to study more about the concept . Learning about the work and writings of Dr Kamiya became a revelation. I am so happy you give even more examples and explanation here, so that we can all share its simple honesty in finding joy and purpose. With your permission, I will leave this quote from Dr Kamiya that touched me deeply; “When we wake up from sleep, we are greeted by the morning. We did not create the morning; it somehow came to give us the chance to live another day. We wake up and discover the morning. The meaning of life is like the morning.” - Mieko Kamiya
Azumi San, have you seen the movie Perfect Days? I feel like it captures the concept perfectly. To be honest, I was mistaken like everyone in the west about the concept of Ikigai and I was frustrated that I didn’t find mine yet, like there is something wrong with me. Now I realize that I’m practicing it every day in small things. Like enjoying washing dishes with fun music in the background, or like walking my dog in the morning when the light is still dim, or singing in the shower 😅. I’m so happy I found your channel ❤
Thank you! Wonderful that you mention the movie Perfect Day. I know the film and it’s in my list to watch! I’m happy that you are with happiness every day 🥰
Such a powerful lesson…many thanks. I will watch again and again. Is it possible to have traits of both a man (which I am) and a woman as I feel I have both aspects in my life.
Great video. My ikigai is my beliefs especially Shinto and Zen Buddhism. Especially after my health crisis back in 2020 which involves with kidney failure and compartment syndrome. I don't think I need to elaborate about my condition. I believe I posted about it in another reply under another video. As always I love your videos. ❤ They are an inspiration 🙏
Interesting Concept , Thank You Azumi San. I guess The Universe our Ikigai , someone said dream big so heck yeah , Devoted myself to the Universe and the Universe provides All we need hehehe. Brilliant. 💎 Much Love and Respect From Mavrovunio

There's a lot of misleading Western translations as to what it is. I always felt there was more missing and being misinterpreted; like you mentioned being in the hospital and unable to fulfill your duties. I like your interpretation: doing something one is passionate about and that creates *connectedness* to oneself, people, nature, and also sense of belonging and gratitude. One of my passions is travel photography; capturing nature and every day people. I found out my ikigai wasn't about taking photos but the feeling of being connected to people and places by sharing these memories through photographs. Thanks for sharing these timeless wisdom Azumi 🙇
Thank you so much for this. The concept of ikigai has always allured me, but the circle chart form always felt just a bit off so while I did my best to follow it I would start to eventually feel lost. This has helped me so much, I very much appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your videos! This one especially helped me a lot to do a big step forward in my personal journey. I am so grateful for your work!
