Genki? What’s Up? 31
Did you know January 15th is often considered the last ‘acceptable’ day in the West to wish someone a Happy New Year? In Japan, that window is even shorter, January 7th! If you didn’t send your nengajo by then, you’re officially too late.
This cultural nuance got me thinking about timing, balance, and why so many New Year’s resolutions fail. Plus, I share thoughts on Japan Consulting Office’s 20-year milestone and a hidden gem in Kanagawa in my latest newsletter.
