What Causes a Man’s Midlife Crisis?
There’s a popular image of a man going through a midlife crisis: he suddenly buys a sports car, changes his wardrobe, starts going out more, or decides he needs a dramatic new career. While these stereotypes can be amusing, a midlife crisis is often about something much deeper. For many men, it can be a period of questioning their identity, relationships, achievements, and the direction their life is taking.

A Bottle of Sesame Dressing That Changed the Way I Eat Vegetables
There are small moments in Japanese supermarkets that, for some reason, always manage to stop me in my tracks in the middle of a crowded aisle. That evening, after coming home from the genba, I stopped by the supermarket near my apartment like usual. My body was still sore, dust still clung to my work boots, but there's a small ritual I always enjoy: wandering the seasoning and sauce aisle while imagining what to cook for dinner. That's where I found it — a bottle of dressing with a white label reading 焙煎ごまドレッシング, or "Roasted Sesame Dressing."

The Utility Pole and the Lesson in Sorting Trash
That morning I was walking toward the station, passing the tram tracks that cut through the small street in my neighborhood in Osaka.

Yellow and Black at Nagai: When Europe Stopped By Cerezo's Backyard
The sky over Osaka was starting to dim into that blue-grey haze I always love bringing my camera out for at Yanmar Stadium Nagai. But that afternoon felt different. Usually I come here for pink — the color of Cerezo Osaka that's become so familiar to my eyes after years of living and working in Japan. This time, right at the entrance, stood a massive banner glowing yellow with bold letters: BVB. Borussia Dortmund.

The Sausage Aisle
There's one aisle in the supermarket near my apartment that I always slow down for, even though I already know exactly what's in it. The frozen sausage aisle. Not a glamorous aisle, not one full of surprises like the imported spice section. But somehow, every time I finish a genba shift, my feet stop there on their own.
