The understated aesthetic of the Kyoto bag

Often go to Japan's Kyoto, like the smell of wood, tatami smell of the wonderful world. When I came back from my trip, I continued the comfort of Kyoto into my life, and continued to use some of the elegant and simple paper carrier bags that I got from shopping.

Once, I packed my clothes in a paper bag of "drum moon" and carried them out the door to take a high-speed train. "Drum moon" is a shop and fruit, which has branches on four of Kyoto's busiest thoroughfares. I have kept this bag for two years and used it sparingly. When I got into the carriage and settled down, I hung it on the hook beside the window, but then something happened that surprised and touched me.

Hanging paper bag, right in the upper left of my line of sight, from this point of view, unexpectedly found that the seemingly plain dark brown bag surface, emerged a beautiful silhouette of flowers and birds. It turns out that the designers of this paper bag, with a very thin transparent film, printed on the surface of the bag a thin pattern of flowers and birds; However, from the positive observation is not able to see, from a very oblique Angle, so that the film reflects light, so that these patterns can appear dreamily. And once the picture of flowers and birds emerges, the paper bag resembles silk, emitting elegance and luxury.

Why is this so surprising to me? I have used this bag many times, if it had not been hung up this time, I might never have found this beautiful design. I didn't expect anyone to make a design like this on a paper bag of shopping that is thrown away after use, but the store is willing to create a beauty that you may never see.

I was so moved by the designer's intention to keep it secret, just like when I found out my family had stuffed money into my purse in college.

Think about it. We've all done the same thing with our family When we want to take care of a loved one, we all become invisible and perfectly invisible, as long as there is a possibility of rejection or rejection. Those loves are like the hidden patterns on this paper bag. If you discover them one day, you will be very touched. However, they will never let us find them.

True love is never obvious, because the people who give, do not want you to accept the cost of the burden, so they hide "themselves". Looking at the bag from Kyoto, I suddenly knew why I liked Kyoto so much.

It turns out that the so-called low-key aesthetics, the real spirit is that one conceals oneself, does not cause the burden to others to give. I once heard a Kyoto man say: "if you help a person, you can do so that he does not feel that he owes you, that is the highest level of consideration." That's the spirit of Kyoto.
