Life in Japan is challenging in every sense, especially after emigrating. You don’t waste time and develop an effective marketing strategy: a private massage service that prioritizes listening to clients. You’re a licensed professional massage therapist, skilled in medical massage, which is demanding for both clients and your hands, but relaxation massage is gentler and more affordable. Your primary work is providing relaxing, slightly therapeutic massages, and, more importantly, listening to everything your clients share—problems, tough decisions, feelings, and other burdens common in big cities worldwide

Your strategy succeeds, and clients start booking appointments, but they’re all women aged 30 to 50. This is ideal for your business, as these women have established careers and can afford oils, herbs, and other products you sell, but they’re the only ones who book. No men, elderly people. Only mature and adult Japanese women fill your reservation list for two months ahead. This strikes you as peculiar as you review the schedule

A client arrives, and you position yourself, facing her, and bow

Hakara: "Pleasure to see you. I’m a bit in a hurry, can we start faster?"
