Tokyo 8 Square Meters

I originally thought it was a story about how to store eight square meters, but the rest told me about the world beyond eight square meters. You think it is small, but it is actually very big. I am not a catcher in the rye. I wonder if the times have changed too fast, and I can't find the past, and I have lost my life, and I have become a floating duckweed. Thinking of a sentence, it's similar to the fact that your space is shrinking and you are stuck with your mobile phone between working, eating, and living in the dormitory, while rich people have a lot of space.

The story has always revolved around me. The author has a strong subjectivity, is independent and strong, has boundaries, loves life and enjoys the present, is tolerant, has a good mentality, and has a strong desire to explore. You must be living seriously. The author's writing is delicate and powerful. Ordinary daily life has become warm and hopeful, and there are still small blessings in life. I am very happy to have my own hobbies to cultivate after I become an adult. I particularly like this book. I like a woman who has herself, thoughts, abilities, and the ability to self-accept, self-compassion, and self-regulation.

I really like the author's sense of calmness, which is also mixed with a very subtle optimism, which makes me unconsciously fascinated by this book. There are not many particularly touching sentences in the book, but once you calm down and read it, you will be unable to take your eyes away. You will forget everything around you and then immerse yourself in the world introduced by the author. At the same time, you will also unconsciously put yourself in and experience a place where you have never lived. This feeling is amazing, but it's really comfortable and refreshing. I love it so much [crying]

I remember that a while ago, Chen Qingyun sent a video to introduce this book. I had a little impression at that time. I suddenly saw the title of this book on Tomato a few days ago, and then clicked on it. I couldn't stop it. I was attracted by some of the details of life in it, as well as the backgrounds and stories of the various characters in the author's shop in Tokyo. I think the author can tell from these small stories. Telling about the life behind the characters, sometimes I am really moved. I think this is the power of language, the power of words. Although I am also a homebody now, but through these lines of words, I can walk out of my hut, follow the author across the ocean to Tokyo, which I have never been to, and have a look at the life there. It is really good, so this is the power of reading!

2025/4/30 My first feeling after watching this is that I want to go to Japan to experience their bathing culture, want to drink in an izakaya, drink tea in a tea shop, and watch movies in a cinema where you can stay overnight... The second feeling is that the author is so delicate, and he has seen many inconspicuous little things. The little happiness and joy around you is life! Cherish life well! The writing style is also very simple and friendly, and it feels like you are immersed in the story when you read it. The third thing is that the author's sister's 8 square meters gave me a lot of courage. No matter what kind of house I live in in the future, I will live a serious life like my sister and bloom. Hehe [laughing] [blowing kiss]

This is how it is when you see the world. You can live a pleasant life in Tokyo with an area of 8 square meters. However, choosing big cities is the basis of all this. Many people the author met are small shop owners. Japan's economy is relatively developed (objective statement). Therefore, no matter which class the capital is, the cultural environment is of high quality and the soul is also very accessible. We can understand each other and are not muddled. Everyone just wants to live. While working as cattle and horses, everyone has his own soul and his own pain and depression hidden in the heart box. The warm, polite and steaming sento in Tokyo. The coffee shop where Mr. Osawa turns the light on for you late at night in Tokyo. Being released and healed in Tokyo's non-mainstream nostalgic cinema makes my heart feel that the world is not empty and there are people who understand you, as well as the warmth of the pole fire. Just like a kaleidoscope reflecting the intertwined mottled prosperity, the fallen leaves are blowing down one after another. The times drag on your family and move forward regardless of whether you live or die. But we still have to find a place of peace of mind regardless of it.

I personally give it five stars. It took me a while to read it. Like other book reviews, I originally thought it was a storage book. However, the title sounds like a book on how to let go of things. The book does mention some guidance on separation, but I can't help it, the space is too small! The book is more of a spiritual connection between people, very plain, like sushi vinegar rice, bland and flavorful, suitable for reading when you don't want to argue.

I read this book because I saw the author's speech (presence), and I felt that my personality was similar to hers. People like to find things that resonate with each other in order to affirm themselves! I couldn't wait to read this book in half a day, and I feel that the author is right. This is a guide to life in Tokyo, and it is also a book about her life in Tokyo. Eight square meters of Tokyo life made me think that people always like to find peace in the midst of chaos, including our hearts. Sure enough, the law of balance applies to all situations! I like the author's lifestyle very much, because my heart is so similar to hers, so I definitely like her lifestyle! It feels like the author's book is like a description of my failure to take action in my life that I expected, as if I was also in it, and I found the answer! Through the author's description, I also made human observations! These daily routines are the meaning of life! Thanks for meeting!

"In a room of eight square meters, there is no need for extra things." In this small space, you can focus on what you really need and value. Here, every item has its own meaning, and there will be no waste or redundancy. During the reading process, I kept recalling the days when I just graduated and entered the society. After get off work, I was walking on the streets late at night, looking at the high-rise buildings not far away. The road was still busy with traffic, and I was full of hope for life. This is also the similar love of life that the author felt when reading this book. It is so easy to complain and blame, but cherishing and loving requires persistence.

Everyone needs an ideal space for living. For the author, this eight square meters is an ideal space for her. This is her Walden Pond. For me, as a deep homebody, I also like small living spaces, quiet and comfortable. If I live alone, one bedroom is enough. It requires minimal cleaning and is economical and practical. Of course, I also need a separate bathroom. The eight square meters is still a little cramped, especially the lack of a place to take a shower.

After reading this book, I actually thought that in life, everyone is pursuing the so-called bigger house and better material life, being led by endless desires, and making it a lifelong goal. It seems that happiness is based on material things. Although the author lives in a small house of 8 square meters, he does not have the embarrassment caused by living in a small house, and the decoration is simple and warm. Maybe there are too many things we don't need in our daily lives. The bathhouses, laundry rooms, wine houses, and teahouses described in the book have Japan's unique culture and human touch. If you have the opportunity, you would like to experience this kind of life.

Finished reading on January 4, 2025 I hope that I also have a room of my own. No matter how big it is, I will have a unique sense of belonging and feel very warm. Spending every day ordinary may be the greatest happiness in life. The author tells his daily life in a simple and sincere way. The treasures are worth reading. Feel free to read it! Seriously look for the candy hidden in life! 🍭🍭🍭

When I first started reading the whole book, I felt a sense of curiosity about the exotic customs. The author's description of the living environment and the people around him was very vivid. Different living environments will lead to different lifestyles. The author has traveled around the world and experienced different customs and customs, which has created the fun that this book can bring to readers and the desire to continue reading. However, when reading to the end, the text expression gives people a sense of running down the account, and the sense of curiosity that it brought to the reader at first disappears. This book can be used as a reading book in your spare time

I thought it was a book about lifestyle, but I didn't expect that most of it was a narrative and biographical book. There is something to gain. A person's brilliance has nothing to do with the living area. A small living area will not affect the size of your outside world (it will not affect your brilliance and quality). After reading Inner Peace, it guides readers to live a good life. You can try to contact some shops and all kinds of people from the heart, and understand different people and stories. Sometimes ordinary life can also touch your heart. If you have the chance, you can try the "traditional sento", "coffee with toast", and "buckwheat noodles and udon" in the book. There are also some interesting views on home appliances, such as "coin-operated washing machines" and "no refrigerators". Careful consideration will lead to some very interesting ideas.

A minimalist life, where there is no refrigerator in the house, no laundry, no bathing, and no cooking, has created another lifestyle of going out. I get to know some ordinary people and chat about ordinary things. There is nothing overly sad that makes people have too many emotional ups and downs. It sounds a bit like drinking rice soup, mild but tasteless. I didn't know this writer before. I just saw her speech in a video. She spoke slowly and eloquently, so I wanted to read her book. I found that the book was just like her speech, soft and warm.

It is a very beautiful book. Although it is about daily life, it shows us many different lives, a life where the flowers have fallen. The old man's curtain call is also the curtain call of an era, which is touching. Now I am also at a low point. I am three years younger than the author and will also face unemployment. I am very envious of the author's experience. Many things cannot be achieved by individual efforts. The inclusiveness, convenience and humanistic preservation of a city are all very important. The country relies too much on technology, and the disappearance of many traditional industries has left people with no spiritual sustenance. When I was a child, I went shopping for books at the Shanghai Confucian Temple and bought books on Fuzhou Road. This was a major personal event for me, and it gave me a sense of happiness. Now these places have disappeared and I have never been there again...

After reading this, I want to own a 20-square-meter house immediately. I hope that I can also enjoy life seriously in the future.

The description of the eight-square-meter living environment was very interesting, but later I felt a little off topic, and finally I came back to the original topic. Generally speaking, I saw a different way of life, and I also realized something. Materials are not the most important thing when people live in the world.

It reminds me of when I was a kid and I lived with my grandparents in a room that could only accommodate a bed, and then only the hallway. There is only a small table and everything else is hung on the wall. I don't feel any pain either. The mentality is so influenced by the materialistic society that no matter how good the life is, it is difficult to live in peace. If there is a better and bigger life, you still need to work overtime to get a bigger room.

"Eight Square Meters in Tokyo" would like to recommend it to everyone who is eager to establish a new order in life. The house is small, but the world is big. I hope that friends who read it can find happiness and the courage to move on in the details of life.

I think the author is a native Chinese scholar. When I was renting a house in Tokyo and talking to the agent in the car, I realized: Japanese woman. The gentleness of the lowered head is exactly like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot stand the cool breeze. Bless you!

This book is very real. The author lives a delicious life in a room of eight square meters. I like the stories about ordinary people in Tokyo that she wrote, which made me see a different Tokyo. Moreover, the author's positive attitude towards life is also very touching. Even in a small space, you can still find the beauty in life. Just like the Vladivostok seaside landscape photography mentioned in the book hanging in the room, it makes people feel the colorfulness of life.

I came across this book in a bookstore where I was dragged out by a friend who was also a homebody. I thought it was about how to store things, but I didn't expect that it was about a record of life eight square meters away. When I opened this book, I felt like I had accidentally opened up another world. I couldn't help but sigh that there is such a way of life. It is true that in this increasingly indifferent society, we need to go out frequently to establish some weak relationships with the world.

Being able to see other people's solitary lives feels like another level of communication. "It turns out that living like this is very comfortable" and "it turns out that you can still live like this." It gives me more courage and confidence to face living alone.

The author lived a life that I had thought about but had no courage to live. The author carefully felt the lives and emotions of ordinary people around him and healed each other. Live your every day leisurely and contentedly in this impetuous society, just like what is said at the end of the book: Don't care about personal "smallness", because the world outside is very big.

It's very good. There are several passages that are very touching. Whether it's a woman's license for marriage or whether an old man puts on his clothes and makes a phone call, it's all a kind of exquisite life for oneself. Taking care of oneself exquisitely has nothing to do with others.

Tokyo Life Guide is more suitable for Chinese people living in Tokyo. It may not be very suitable for people traveling to Tokyo because they don't know much about the places and eating habits in Tokyo. Tourists cannot find such hidden shops and cinema art exhibitions. The author's life is a life that I have considered, and it is also a life that many young Chinese people have tried now, that is, traveling around the country to work, and Australia whv and so on. But at present, I am still studying until I graduate from graduate school. I will seamlessly work directly in a large company. I will work hard to get promoted and get a raise, and I will pursue the route of entering a larger company and becoming a senior executive. I can't say for sure, freedom is my lifelong pursuit. Life is so long and so short, who knows what choices I will make in the future. This book is also a guide for women who live alone, how to establish contact with the outside world, chat with various shopkeepers, and understand other people's lives.

I got to know this teacher because of a People magazine event. At that time, I became interested in her eight-square-meter life in Tokyo. I have always longed for a life of living alone, so I accidentally saw the last book on Tomato, and this started my book exchange with the teacher (￣o￣). Z Z. I found that teachers are full of enthusiasm for life, and at the same time they truly believe that all professions are equal and worthy of our struggle. In the current environment, I am still confused about my future career plan, but after reading this book, I feel a little relaxed. I can try various jobs and experience different lives. As long as I'm happy.

I got to know this book through Chen Luyu's Flowers in the Rocks. The title of the work is very attractive to me. I haven't finished it yet. Judging from the previous content, I feel that I have seen a person who lives a very tight life. She regards the eight-square-meter cabin as a rest stop in her "rolling stone" life. It meets her most basic needs and also satisfies her desire to live in Tokyo with a Shitamachi temperament (or so it should be said). The life around her is very convenient and full of fireworks. It is very convenient to go to see exhibitions or movies, which greatly expands her spiritual area. Eight square meters wraps her life safely and allows her to "roll" to where she wants to go. I really like the moments she describes in daily life, such as chatting with bathhouse aunts, and the sentences that describe real estate agents, morning glory flower owners, etc. As solid and creative as bricks. I like her perspective on the world, always treating every journey with a calm and exploratory perspective. The interspersed photos are like a movie, full of stories. Her attitude towards life is very free and easy. Nothing will form a net on her. She is always moving forward, as if she has endless courage. This is something I cannot do. I envy her very much.

I like to see how the author survives in a small home, how to wash clothes, how to cook, and how to solve the bathing problem. People really don't need so many material things, just simply enjoy life itself. Women like a real life, like storage, and also like simplicity and nature.
