What scares you when travelling?

What activity scares you when traveling? I’m scared of deep water. I don’t even blame the movie Jaws for this fear…

Notes on Travel and The Problem with Extremes

by Lola AkinmadeTravel NarrativesPosted on January 6, 2017January 7, 20174 Comments

It’s no secret that the “best” travel literature has been missing strong black and other voices of colour for centuries. How can we remedy that?

  • With only 12 seats at the counter, dining at Kanshuku-en ESHIKOTO’s Chiso En in Fukui Prefecture was an exquisite experience. An intricately crafted multi-course meal centered on aged soy and seafood from the Gulf of Japan. Every dish prepared from scratch in front of you by Michelin starred chef Shinpei Komatsu, who might as well be a rockstar too.

Run by renowned Kokuryu Sake Brewery, its name blends the Buddhist concept Kanshuku-en, meaning “celebrating a rare connection,” with ESHIKOTO, signifying “good fortune” or “eternity.” 

I experienced Hokuriku as a guest of @cril_privee.

  • The year was 2010.

I was on an Egypt Bike & Sail trip where we biked long stretches of desert as the first group to do this.
On that trip, I met two incredible friends who were already in their 60s (Ann) and 70s (Alpha).

They epitomized what it meant to live life fully and on your own terms, while aging gracefully. And being such badass adventurers too.

So much so that I profiled them in several publications, including Women’s Adventure magazine.

16 years later… 

What an absolute privilege and joy it was to not only reunite with Ann @annievl07 in Stockholm at the @golden_age_models Gala, but to also be part of the same modeling agency 💛

  • There are some moments in life that become permanently seared onto your heart. 

One such moment was meeting the vibrant Akiko Tamamura who has been crafting washi paper for most of her life. Over a bento lunch with Aki-chan, she said she wanted to sing for @silviapisci and I. Her beautiful and intimate melody became the fitting soundtrack of Japan’s quiet midwestern Hokuriku region.

Here, you’ll truly enjoy life’s last true luxuries which include solitude, nature, stillness, and craftmanship. Three-room ryokans welcome you with private matcha tea ceremonies. Twelve-seat Shabu-Shabu restaurants force you to slow down as you watch your meal slowly cook. Kutani porcelain artists and Echizen washi paper artisans like Aki-chan create modern innovations to preserve old traditions, and the region’s exquisite seafood-based gastronomy (think stinger fish and hairy crab fresh from the Sea of Japan/East Sea) is a pescaterian’s dream.

Kogei means craft and every year, the Hokuriku region asks how we can reframe craft through its annual GO FOR KOGEI @goforkogei showcase, where for several months, local Japanese artists exhibit edgy contemporary art within shrines, temples, and behind 200+ year old wooden structures dotting the region, with the goal of preserving craftsmanship.

Thank you for opening your culture and heart to us ❤️ 🇯🇵 

Music: Licensed / ”Dawn of Change” / Composer: Roman Senyk

  • Portraits from Japan -> Japan’s paper making history In Echizen spans over 1,500 years and at Iwano Heizaburo Paper Mill was where I met 80-year old Akiko, a Washi paper master for over 60 years. 

You’re going to meet her too ❤️ 🇯🇵 

And yes, I gave her my ”BE STILL” @mudlove bracelet 🫶🏽

With only 12 seats at the counter, dining at Kanshuku-en ESHIKOTO’s Chiso En in Fukui Prefecture was an exquisite experience. An intricately crafted multi-course meal centered on aged soy and seafood from the Gulf of Japan. Every dish prepared from scratch in front of you by Michelin starred chef Shinpei Komatsu, who might as well be a rockstar too. Run by renowned Kokuryu Sake Brewery, its name blends the Buddhist concept Kanshuku-en, meaning “celebrating a rare connection,” with ESHIKOTO, signifying “good fortune” or “eternity.” I experienced Hokuriku as a guest of @cril_privee. #japan #finediningexperience #gastronomy #hokuriku japanesefood

The year was 2010.

I was on an Egypt Bike & Sail trip where we biked long stretches of desert as the first group to do this.
On that trip, I met two incredible friends who were already in their 60s (Ann) and 70s (Alpha).

They epitomized what it meant to live life fully and on your own terms, while aging gracefully. And being such badass adventurers too.

So much so that I profiled them in several publications, including Women’s Adventure magazine.

16 years later… 

What an absolute privilege and joy it was to not only reunite with Ann @annievl07 in Stockholm at the @golden_age_models Gala, but to also be part of the same modeling agency 💛

There are some moments in life that become permanently seared onto your heart. One such moment was meeting the vibrant Akiko Tamamura who has been crafting washi paper for most of her life. Over a bento lunch with Aki-chan, she said she wanted to sing for @silviapisci and I. Her beautiful and intimate melody became the fitting soundtrack of Japan’s quiet midwestern Hokuriku region. Here, you’ll truly enjoy life’s last true luxuries which include solitude, nature, stillness, and craftmanship. Three-room ryokans welcome you with private matcha tea ceremonies. Twelve-seat Shabu-Shabu restaurants force you to slow down as you watch your meal slowly cook. Kutani porcelain artists and Echizen washi paper artisans like Aki-chan create modern innovations to preserve old traditions, and the region’s exquisite seafood-based gastronomy (think stinger fish and hairy crab fresh from the Sea of Japan/East Sea) is a pescaterian’s dream. Kogei means craft and every year, the Hokuriku region asks how we can reframe craft through its annual GO FOR KOGEI @goforkogei showcase, where for several months, local Japanese artists exhibit edgy contemporary art within shrines, temples, and behind 200+ year old wooden structures dotting the region, with the goal of preserving craftsmanship. Thank you for opening your culture and heart to us ❤️ 🇯🇵 Music: Licensed / ”Dawn of Change” / Composer: Roman Senyk I was a guest of @cril_privee. #japan #culture #gastronomy #tradition #craft

Portraits from Japan -> Japan’s paper making history In Echizen spans over 1,500 years and at Iwano Heizaburo Paper Mill was where I met 80-year old Akiko, a Washi paper master for over 60 years. 

You’re going to meet her too ❤️ 🇯🇵 

And yes, I gave her my ”BE STILL” @mudlove bracelet 🫶🏽
