🏜️ Today’s radio exercise takes place at a quiet park near my home in Shizuoka, Japan, with the familiar and rhythmic sound of trains passing by in the background. Performing my morning calisthenics in this peaceful setting connects me to both movement and mindfulness, as I embrace the simple beauty of ラジオ体操 (Rajio Taisō), Japan’s beloved radio exercise tradition.
Originating in the 1920s, Rajio Taisō is more than just physical activity—it is a timeless practice promoting health, community, and balance. As part of my journey, I share this moment of intentional living in nature, surrounded by the energy of the world in motion.
Kurt Bell is a dedicated explorer of both the physical and philosophical landscapes of life. Born in America in 1964, his journey has taken him across the globe and into the depths of reflective thought, expressed in works like Going Alone. Now, in the autumn of his days, he blends his love for Japan with his commitment to mindful living, one stretch at a time.
