So I’m walking from my new high school way out in the wilds of Yatsushiro to the train station and ran into an old woman using what in Japanese is called a 達者カー (tasshyaka-), which basically means, “vehicle for old active people.”. They generally have a seat that one can rest on when needed and a basket underneath for purchases. I know it’s called this because, when I bought my first baby stroller, the same catalog listed 達者カー (they’re kind of similar, just for different ends of the life cycle). I stopped to talk with her and mentioned that what was supporting her was called a 達者カー. She didn’t know that. It’s never too late to learn. - William
