inspiration: fundamentals

Nihao!

Our flight’s delayed so as we use the latest technology to post this—wi-fi via a mobile—images seen earlier in the day teach us that some things will never change. That what we consider fundamental tools are not only essential by definition—they can make for a ‘heavy’ luggage tag—and some of them are ancient ceremonies and methods which are still relevant in these very modern times.

For example, on our way to the factory that produces oliver plates, we’re reminded that white porcelain is fundamental to dining—that joyful things will always make us smile, that beauty in nature can be found anywhere and everywhere, and that maintaining one’s sense of humor is a must while traveling.
