Urazawa is a japanese show that gives practical tips to better your life. No, it’s not some kind of “how to be successful” or “How to lift your ass from the couch” type of show.
Those are genuine practical tips, such as “how to get crab meat out of its shell”, “how to fold a t-shirt”, “how to roll your sleeves” or “how to stir your coffee”.
You might think you already know all this but no, you don’t. You don’t know shit as a matter of fact. Because you simply haven’t been told by your lazy parents and your depressed teachers.
Geniuses of everyday life are at work in Japan and they have researched and invented the best way to do those simple things.
Until fairly recently most japanese women were housewives. This was up until the bubble bursted.
Japanese women use to marry, have children and call it a day as far as their job was concerned. Remember that also, until recently, the japanese nuclear family usually included the grand-parents.
In Japan, you don’t put your parents in a home, you stay at their house with your wife and kids and you take care of them.
It’s that way that housekeeping science was developed, passing from generation to generation. But Japan has changed lately, the cycle has been broken. Thus the invention of Urasawa, to keep young people up to date on how to do things properly and not like those pathetic mongoloids from the west.
Fortunately the internet is lifting the lid on those secrets.
Thanks to youtube user Arekure, here’s the list of things you should know (ok, you can skip the one about tofu).
