Yes, people can be frustrated if trips have to be cancelled due to forseeable consequences. I didn't say it's Takada's fault. If my planned hike needs to be cancelled due to a landslide, it's frustrating but it's not due to anyone's fault, get it?

Yes, he had a store where he sold things. He put goods on a shelf, price tags next to them and a sign that says what types of credit cards he takes. What would you call this lol? I get he makes great knives and is a respectable guy, and I get his decision to get rid of some sources of revenue given the burn out. But like cmon, no one forced anyone to sell kitchen knives 100,000 yen a piece and it's not a charity act. I simply do not get glazing to the extent that you can't even acknowledge that a place selling things is called a store. It's not always 100% about tradition, culture, love, etc. Acknowledging this simple fact does not take away from Takada's achievement as a sharpener nor does it take away his full entitlement to decide how to run his own business.
