Despite the unfortunate weather, we held a philosophical walk around Kanagawa-shuku on the Tokaido road.

This is the second time we’ve walked the old Tokaido road, and we started our walk from Yokohama Station, which was under the sea during the Edo period. We climbed up from the sea to the road lined with teahouses, and several restaurants are still in business. Although it rained at times, it was impressive to see the participants’ refreshed expressions.

The collection of quotes that we distributed today is listed below. We hope these words reach everyone who sees them.

• He who wants to heal is already half healed. (Seneca)
  Live only in the present moment! (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus)
• Those who are satisfied with the smallest things are the richest, for contentment is the wealth nature gives them. (Socrates)
• All philosophy is about two words: persistence and self-control. (Epictetus)
• Be your own sculptor! (Nietzsche)
• Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. (Kierkegaard)
• Make your bed a temple for yourself. (Pythagoras)
• He who gives to others loves himself more than he is loved by others. (Aristotle)
