“A woman’s heart is like the autumn sky” is a Japanese proverb that describes something that can easily change.
Regardless of women’s (men’s)feelings, the changeable nature of the seasons is related.
With such changing seasons, Japan can also be said to be a nation that is good at changing its mind.
A life that faces the ever-changing natural.
Historically, we live in house made of paper and wood, and there were many disasters.
Once a fire breaks out, everything burns down.
People just have to reset their mood and try again.
This can also be seen as mental flexibility, changing one’s mind quickly, and giving up quickly.
Historically, for example, the Meiji Restoration,
After 300 years of isolation, Japan suddenly opened up and completely transformed society.
Under the leadership of Meiji government, the people adopted foreign cultures at an astonishing rate.
People were so busy securing their cloths,hairstyles, and footwear that they had no time to reminisce about the past.
After that, we lost everything in the tragic wars that engulfed the world, but now, we have remade the Japan of today with such force that we have forgotten about the victors and defeats.
I’m sure that unchanging spirit remains deep within Japan, but perhaps a spirit that changes is also necessary for survival.
