This series shows just how much this world needs that still, quiet, peaceful space that is symbolized by Hiroto’s quiet little home. At first it’s just him. But soon enough it becomes an oasis where all come to gather to bask in the peaceful glow of this spirit led place. A wise teacher once said “ Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” This rest is what is symbolized in Hiroto’s house. As someone who could not contort himself into the rigid shape of worldly success, Hiroto quit the world of acting and high stress jobs to live in the house that a lovely granny left to him. This granny was all he had and vice versa and just like a miracle, to preserve his kindness she gave him this sanctuary, which starts attracting all sorts of folks who are overworked and need rest too. Hideki’s condition (high school friend of Hiroto) and his high stress job in addition to the stress of managing a family- wife and new baby really made me sad. With all the “responsibilities,” he couldn’t keep up with his own life. Seemed like he was being bullied by everyone- his wife, the baby’s needs, and his coworker. I really felt bad for him. But each one turns to Hiroto and his house. Though he lives with his spoiled, entitled, hyper cousin who doesn’t really contribute much to the housework and chores, the vibration of the place makes all the relationships of the people who enter this space come alive, as if Spirit is taking care and holding all of them together. This series is a true blessing from Spirit. I feel so warm and fuzzy.
