Welcome to Wafuu in the West
If you are reading this post, you must have an interest in Japan, the country known for samurai, sumo, sushi, salarymen, and recently, self-help (think Mari Kondo’s minimalism). Of course, Japan, like any other country, is so much more than the sum of its parts and is so much deeper than its stereotypes. Here at Wafuu in the West, we want to share the deep, beautiful, and quirky sides of the real Japan, wherever you are.
This blog is for three people. First, it’s for those of you who have transplanted yourselves from beautiful Japan to someplace abroad, and although you love your new life, you don’t want to let go of some of the beautiful and nostalgic culture you left behind.
Second, it’s for you who have never set foot in Japan yet somehow have a few Japanese bones in your bodies (which people around you might not understand) and want to satisfy the quiet longing for all things Japanese.
Third, it’s for the simply curious.
Wa means harmony, and it is also means anything related to Japan. Wa shoku means Japanese food. Wa shitsu means Japanese room. Wa fuu means Japanese style. Whether you know everything about Japan or are just discovering it, Wafuu in the West is dedicated to bringing you winds of wa, wherever you are.
Blog creator Eric (living in the US) is married to JUURI, a mural artist who travels the world making wa-flavored art, and blog writer Erika is second-generation Japanese living in Tokyo and working part time at a Japanese sweets cafe. Whether you know everything about Japan already or are just learning the basics, we want to send a fresh, wa-scented breeze into your daily life.
So, comment below, telling us your name and how you are making Japan part of your daily life right where you are, and be on the lookout for recipes, life hacks, adoptable habits, and quirky culture here on Wafuu in the West!
