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
Thank you Azumi for your explanation of the original form of Ikigai. I find it more attainable and peaceful way of finding purpose as opposed to the Venn diagram that social gurus put out. It seems daunting. And I like the fact that everyone's ikigai is fluid just as life and it's circumstances are fluid.
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 🥰
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 🙏
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!
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.
😊 You are very kind and thoughtful... In the west, We are very much into individual achievement... Everything seems to be about a "means to an end".. Iki-Gai philosophy in the west is about achieving a GOAL, and fame, and fortune... There is too much emphasis placed on finding *TALENT*.. That tends to lead to much disappointment 😥... I love❤ to draw.....✍️ I remember, Something you said, "About haiku peoms.. A person doesn't have specific time or schedule to write ✍️ A haiku poem.. It just happens in the experience of the moment.." Likewise Drawing is the same way.. Is a feeling of being in the moment 😊.. It is just natural.. Sometimes, As adults we can over think too much.. We mind too much, About this or that... To many minds... I draw by myself.. Whatever happens just happens.. If I start thinking 🤔 About Good and bad, and or fame, And Fortune, Then what will other people say about my drawing it is Without end.. Too many minds.... Life same way.. Its impossible to please everything and everyone.. Its better to just be honest with ones SELF 😉... My first cup 🍵 of ☕ coffee Is Something I look forward too in the morning 🌞.. Then, Sometimes I draw something. When I feel it ... Thank you very much For your many wonderful 👍 insights ... I greatly appreciate 💖🙏💖
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your insight! 💖we will soon start a community and you will have a chance to connect with likeminded and explore my teaching and your own creativity!
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.
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
I discovered your channel awhile ago while searching for the meaning of ikigai th-cam.com/video/40RWwmeV_dQ/w-d-xo.html&pp
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 🙇

Great video. Your recovery story was very inspiring. 😊
Thank you!

Thank you 💖
😊 You are very kind and thoughtful...
In the west,
We are very much into individual achievement...
Everything seems to be about a
"means to an end"..
Iki-Gai philosophy in the west is about achieving a GOAL,
and fame,
and fortune...
There is too much emphasis placed on finding *TALENT*..
That tends to lead to much disappointment 😥...
I love❤ to draw.....✍️
I remember,
Something you said,
"About haiku peoms..
A
person doesn't have specific time or schedule to write ✍️
A haiku poem..
It just happens in the experience of the moment.."
Likewise
Drawing is the same way..
Is a feeling of being in the moment 😊..
It is just natural..
Sometimes,
As adults we can over think too much..
We mind too much,
About this or that...
To many minds...
I draw by myself..
Whatever happens just happens..
If
I start thinking 🤔
About
Good and bad,
and or fame,
And Fortune,
Then what will other people say about my drawing it is
Without end..
Too many minds....
Life same way..
Its impossible to please everything and everyone..
Its better to just be honest with ones SELF 😉...
My first cup 🍵 of ☕ coffee
Is
Something I look forward too in the morning 🌞..
Then,
Sometimes I draw something.
When I feel it ...
Thank you very much
For your many wonderful 👍 insights ...
I greatly appreciate
