This is a lovely write up. I haven't yet read the first part of the series and I shall do so forth with. Looking forward to the third part.
I have long been curious about how an ADHD person would experience growing up in Japan. Would he have a hard time because of the extreme attention to detail that the culture requires? Or would the experience of mindfulness practice that is built into everyday life train his mind and alleviate his symptoms? Or perhaps the minimalism of the environment makes it less of a sensory overload for him and makes life easier?
It's an interesting question. My gut feel is that environment shapes a big deal of these 'lifestyle' adjacent disorders but I am sure someone's done actual research on this. For someone like me, very sensitive to the environment and stimulus, it shapes a big part of how calm my brain is.
That looks like a shaving brush - the thing used to whisk your matcha
Ha ha...old memory unlocked. Haven't used something like that in ever.
