@mdowney9 Oh wow that's wonderful! If you ever go, DM me, I can tell ya a bunch of great spots. You know so much about the culture, more than most who've been many times! Furoshiki is not well known here.
@mdowney9 Thank you so much! I always thought it was such a beautiful tradition, people bringing their lunchbox to work in these lovely cloths. I assume you've spent a lot of time in Japan?
This is wonderful and relatable
The life of an entrepreneur can be brutally difficult. But nobody talks about it. Time for a stiff drink and a few words on some of the most stressful periods in my life. A thread.
@mdowney9 oh wow you guys are doing the furoshiki i've seen those in Japan many times! great idea.
