再帰代名詞

It's a cold day Crazy  Are you usually by yourself?

寒い日ですね。クレイジーさんはいつもお一人ですか？

Cool So The first thing he does in the morning is clean not only inside the workshop But outside of the shop as well to provide a welcoming environment for his customers while also ensuring that his toilet is spotless In short he cleans every corner of the shop as cleanliness is important in Japan It serves to reset his mind and creates a fresh start to the day for him and his customers Originally from Kumamoto prefecture He moved to Tokyo for work and spent 17 years at an advertising agency at the age of 44 He decided it was time to go it alone and started his own business which ultimately led to the shop a wife and two kids Now the store is officially open So what got you started in the business You couldn't have picked a better job.

朝一番にすることは、工房の中だけでなく、店の外も掃除することだ。熊本県出身で、仕事のために上京し、広告代理店に17年間勤めた44歳のとき、独立を決意した。

いつまでやっていたんですか？

Wow, that must have been an experience Are you fixing all of that today?

ワオ、それはいい経験だったに違いない。

Oh, that dog has a bite After leaving his corporate job defying his friend's advice and Japanese norms He ventured into shoe polishing only to shut down after four months due to police crackdowns of street vendors This setback though fueled his passion for footwear while revealing his knowledge gaps Leading him to enroll in Saruwaka Footwear College in Asakusa.

友人の忠告と日本の常識に背いて会社を辞めた後、靴磨きの世界に飛び込んだが、露天商に対する警察の取り締まりにより、4ヶ月で廃業した。

After graduation He rented a studio with friends to craft shoes But faced a self-start receiving just five orders in his first year.

卒業後、友人たちと工房を借りて靴作りを始めたが、1年目の注文はわずか5件。

To stay afloat He learned shoe repair and through relentless practice honed his craft.

彼は靴の修理を学び、絶え間ない練習で技術を磨いた。

His dedication eventually paid off paving the way for his current success First he repairs the worn out heels of these shoes For leather shoes like these he first removes the worn off heels then attaches a new sole and then finishes it off Do you get a lot of heel repairs?

彼の献身的な努力はやがて実を結び、現在の成功への道を切り開くことになる。 まず、彼はこのような革靴の擦り減ったヒールを修理する。

ヒールな1日だったに違いない。

On average the shop repairs about four pairs of shoes a day With a maximum of up to 10 pairs on a busy day While that may not seem like a lot for a shop like this known for its ability to handle complex repairs The volume is aligned with the quality it delivers.

平均して1日に約4足の靴を修理し、多い日には最大で10足の靴を修理する。複雑な修理に対応できることで知られるこのような店にとっては、それほど多くないように思えるかもしれないが、その量は提供する品質と一致している。

Interestingly One of the first and most fundamental skills learned in this industry is how to repair women's heels as it's one of the most requested repairs By the way, what other things do you repair?

興味深いことに、この業界で最初に学ぶ最も基本的な技術のひとつが、女性のヒールの修理です。

This bear looks like it's seen better days So in Japan There's a deep-rooted culture of taking great care of one's belongings regardless of its value with Japanese Meticulously maintaining their possessions as long as possible This mindset stems from Shinto beliefs that gods inhabit nature and everyday objects fostering a deep respect for possessions While similar values exist in other cultures Japanese children are taught this reverence from a young age Although the rise of mass production goods are slowly changing these attitudes This belief remains ingrained in Japanese culture making the repair industry in the country, especially vital So what would you say is the best part about your job?

このクマはずいぶん年季が入っているように見える。 日本には、自分の持ち物をその価値に関係なく大切にする文化が根付いていて、日本人は自分の持ち物をできるだけ長く大切にします、では、この仕事の醍醐味は何だと思いますか？
