November Reflections with Karhu Studio Kyoto: The Art of Embracing Change

This month’s Karhu Studio Kyoto calendar features the phrase:

いまや年中世界中 — “Whoever, whatever, whenever, wherever — sushi is ever good.” 🍣

At first, it might make you smile — but the more I sit with it, the more I see its quiet wisdom.
No matter where we are, or what we’re facing, there’s always something to savor — a small joy waiting in the present moment.

It pairs beautifully with one of Japan’s most profound idioms:

諸行無常 (shogyō mujō) — “All things are impermanent.”

The changing leaves, the cooling air, the warmth of a teacup in your hands — each reminds us that nothing stays the same, and that’s the gift of it all.

As we step into November (I can’t believe we only have two months left in the year!), I hope you find grounding in your routines — and inspiration in the subtle shifts of the season.

Here’s to tea, change, and savoring both fully. 🌿
