"Would you like some coffee?"

#Careful living

I think the number of posts using this hashtag has increased significantly due to the coronavirus pandemic.
With more time being spent at home, many people have had the opportunity to reexamine their lifestyles.

What exactly does a careful life mean?
The degree of politeness and carelessness varies from person to person.
Just as the definition of a "good rug" varies from person to person, there is no set pattern or correct answer when it comes to lifestyle or how to lay a rug.

However, when I look at various #carefullliving examples, I think they all have one thing in common: they pour love into each and every item around them and they love the way they live.

When I take a peek into the careful lives of these various people, I often see scenes of them relaxing in their beloved homes, sipping delicious coffee.
...I mean on social media, don't worry, I'm not a peeping tom.

Today we will introduce you to some tasteful tribal rugs that will make you want to drink some delicious coffee.

There is also a very famous, nationally popular coffee shop right next door to Layout.
What's great is that on weekends, some customers get a numbered ticket and drop in to take a look at the rugs while they're waiting.

Not only can you enjoy a variety of drinks and food, but the rows of coffee siphons are dazzling and dramatic.
It's a bit like a science experiment and it's exciting.

If you look closely at this tribal rug, it looks like a series of long siphons.

Do you brew different types of coffee?
The 12 flasks are divided into three colors.
Is it Right, Normal, or Strong?

I always think that the opposite of Right is not Heavy or Deep, but Strong, which really conveys the strength of the caffeine.
When I ordered coffee at a restaurant in Okinawa some time ago, I was told that strong coffee not only tastes bitter, but also sweeter, so that light coffee is not necessarily recommended for people who don't like bitter things.Since then, I have started to choose strong coffee over light.

Returning to the story, there were diamond-shaped particles inside the flask.
These are coffee beans. The amount of beans increases as you go down the flask.

There are other things mixed in besides beans, right?
What is this?
To me it just looks like a three-legged creature, but having living creatures mixed in when brewing coffee is a major hygiene issue, so let's just say it's a coffee bean fairy.

Next, take a look at the top of the flask.

Who could this be?
An old man with round eyes and a long beard is staring straight at me.
Let's consider this person as a master who is likely to appear in the set when it comes to coffee.

Next to the master is a gorilla with a surprised look on his face.
I declared without hesitation that it was a gorilla, but to me it looks like nothing else but a gorilla, so I'll just go with that.
Is it the Master's family?
Let's set the scene as a coffee shop with high hospitality and high labor costs, where eight masters and a gorilla brew the coffee.
Leaving aside the master, if there were eight gorillas it would be like a zoo.

Inside the frame surrounding the siphon, the noses and mouths of the Master and the Gorilla are separated and appear in large numbers. If you just read the words, you'll probably wonder what's going on, but that's actually the case. I'll leave the truth to Oriko.

The outermost frame represents the steam and aroma of coffee that fills the shop.
The smell of coffee is wonderful. It soothes the soul whether it's morning, noon or night.

Finally, take a look at the fringe.
Thin but sturdy wool.
It's as if the delicacy of siphon coffee is being expressed here.
There is a strong affinity between the coffee that is brewed with great care and time and the rugs that are woven with the same great care and time.

Enjoy life

What do you think?
I'm sure you're starting to crave coffee that's been brewed slowly and carefully.

Make yourself a cup of coffee in your favorite cozy room, surrounded by your favorite rugs and interior decor.
Time seems to pass a little more slowly, and the stiffness in my head and heart suddenly eases.

I think that living a careful life is also connected to maintaining one's mind.

Please enjoy a relaxing coffee time with Tokimekuragu.
