What is IKIGAI? Why Your Life Purpose Changes Over Time (生きがい)

Have you ever wondered what your IKIGAI is — and why it feels different now compared to the past?

In this episode of Japanese Daily Podcast, we talk about IKIGAI (生きがい), a Japanese concept often translated as life purpose or reason for living.
But instead of a textbook definition, we explore IKIGAI from a gentle, real-life perspective.

🌸 In this episode, you will learn:

What IKIGAI (生きがい) really means in simple Japanese

Why your IKIGAI changes over time

The beautiful metaphor of seasonal flowers (季節の花) and life stages

Why it’s okay to feel like you don’t have an IKIGAI right now

How to find your “root” — what you truly love beneath changing interests

🎧 This podcast is perfect for:

Japanese learners (N4–N3 level)

Listeners interested in Japanese culture & philosophy

Anyone feeling lost, stuck, or unsure about their life direction

✨ Take your time, relax, and listen slowly.
Your next IKIGAI might be quietly growing beneath the surface.
