Made in China - new respect

 

For last 30 years, since my return from Japan, I have been fascinated in how much pride and attention Japanese put in everything they do. 

This is especially visible how they wrap items sold and gifts.

Today, before opening these linen, I had to take a photo and give my appreciation to this Atlinia “Made in China” item. 

These days, we buy almost everything made in China which is a totally separate topic on how American industry committed suicide.

However, this is the first Chinese item that was presented in a way I love and how I will remember it.

Tonight, I was writing a chapter for my new book, and I thought I would share it.

On Saturday mornings, I often found myself at a nearby Buddhist temple, Fukusen-ji 福泉寺, at dawn. The temple sat on a bluff overlooking the bay on the East side of Okinawa Island. The building sat slightly away from the coastal road, with a steep stairway leading up the bluff.
