2026.10.19When Kindness Becomes a Duty, It Makes Us Tired

Some guests tell me things like, "I have no friend I can really talk to," or "Do we really need family?" People who care about others too much, and slowly stop trusting people. I think they come to my salon because I am a little like that too. Until now, I…Continue reading →Some guests tell me things like, "I have no friend I can really talk to," or "Do we really need family?" People who care…Continue reading

2026.10.04Hardship Makes Us Kind, but I Don't Want Anyone to Suffer

Sometimes a regular guest says to me, "Maybe it is time to train a young therapist?" Every time, I think: maybe I cannot do that. The reason is simple, I feel. I don't want to be hard on young people. This work seems to need many years of small daily practice…Continue reading →Sometimes a regular guest says to me, "Maybe it is time to train a young therapist?"

MoonTed Diary: looking up at the building where the salon is. A clear autumn sky with white clouds is reflected in the dark glass and vertical louvers.

2026.10.01Finally a Clear Sky. Open as Usual in October.

September in Tokyo was rain, rain, rain. Very humid. Some guests told me they felt heavy and tired all month. Today is October 1st, and the sky is finally blue. Dry air.

2026.09.18Maybe We Can Understand Each Other, Even in Broken English

It happens every year, but early September is somehow quiet, so I get more free time than usual. So this year I thought, "OK, I'll use this time and let ChatGPT teach me English." I gave up after three days. (I wrote this in Japanese and asked AI to translate…Continue reading →It happens every year, but early September is somehow quiet, so I get more free time than usual.

2026.09.16Finally Rebuilt Our Website with Claude Code ♪

I finally got around to rebuilding our official website, which I hadn't really touched in almost 10 years. I kind of thought the old-fashioned look might be nice in its own way, like some long-established shop or something, so I just left it. But lately it…Continue reading →I finally got around to rebuilding our official website, which I hadn't really touched in almost 10 years. I kind of…Continue reading
