Hi I'm JoeKochin🇯🇵

A Happy New Year! 2025 🎍✨
あけましておめでとうございます

If you have any issues, such as a swap not arriving,
please message me before rating.
I’ll be happy to sort things out—thank you so much for your understanding! 😊

About Me

Hi, I’m JoeKochin! 😊🇯🇵
I was born in Hiroshima but have been living in Osaka for a long time.
Osaka’s quirky vibe suits me perfectly!
I’m new to Swap-bot and excited to connect with people from around the world.

Although my English is still a work in progress,
please feel free to send messages in English!
I have a super partner, Chaichai (my Assistant ChatGPT),
who helps me with translations. 😉

My Hobbies

  • Growing succulents 🌵 (especially Astrophytum, Agave, and carnivorous plants)
  • Collaging, junk journaling, and making mini notebooks ✂️
  • Arranging fresh flowers and making swags with dried flowers 💐
  • Watching movies 🎥 (I love ones based on true stories)
  • Exploring music 🎶 (from punk to psychedelic)
  • Creating zentangles for relaxation 🖊
  • Attending unique festivals (Yes, I’ve been to Burning Man!)

A Note About Swaps

Please don’t feel pressured to match my Favorites!
I love surprises and discovering new things through swaps.

However, there’s just one thing I’m not fond of—glitter. ✨
It tends to scatter everywhere, and I’m not a fan of cleaning up sparkles afterward! 😂
Other than that, I’m happy with anything you choose to send.

My Favorite

  • Stationery: Japanese pens, memo pads, letter sets, masking tapes (washi tapes), stickers
  • Crafts: Collage materials, origami paper
  • Food & Drinks: Ice cream (Baskin-Robbins is a family favorite 🍨), herbal tea
  • Plants: Succulents, carnivorous plants 🌱
  • Colors: Blue, yellow, green
  • Music: Punk, psychedelic vibes
  • Movies: Based on true stories or deeply emotional ones

Feel Free to Reach Out!

If you have any concerns or issues with a swap,
please don’t hesitate to message me.
Let’s keep swapping fun and enjoyable for both of us! 😊

Thank you so much for reading my profile—
I’m looking forward to swapping with you!

Comment: Thank you so much for my letter ☺️ I love how you decorated it, and added the bourbon baum rolls for emphasis 😂 One of my favourite places in the UK is Glasontbury, there is lots of history and myth in this area of England, and I love to climb the Tor and view the land from up high ☺️
Response: Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m glad you enjoyed my letter and the little joke about the bourbon baum rolls 😂 I couldn’t resist making that comparison—it just popped into my mind when I saw those hairstyles! Glastonbury sounds like such a magical place, and climbing the Tor must be an amazing experience. I’d love to visit one day and see it with my own eyes!

Comment: Thank you so much for the fun postcard! You are so kind to write your message in Japanese for me! I lived in Japan for a year and went to college there, but I didn't learn much Japanese. So I had to use a translator to read your message > ㅂ <
Response: Thank you so much for your kind comment! Actually, my English is… supported by Chaichai (ChatGPT), so that’s how I can communicate like this, haha! I wrote the postcard full of Japanese because I thought you might read it with a translation app when you received it, so no worries! I’m glad you used one and enjoyed it. Thanks again

Comment: Oh Joe, I just got your swap today! The little envie with cherry blossoms are so cute. I love the card. How lucky was I to get you as a partner. “What a sweet thing to be alive under a cherry tree” -Kobayshi Issa
Response: Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I’m so happy you liked the little cherry blossom envelope and the card. It truly is a beautiful quote by Kobayashi Issa, isn’t it? I feel lucky too, to have had you as a partner for this swap. Wishing you lots of joy and creative fun in the new year!

Comment: Wow, I really love the attention to detail you put into this swap for me :) Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts for the week. I loved the little sand-timer - to turn it upside down for more time is a cute idea. And super funny to hear about your (Christmas) Chicken festival haha. The Christmas card you sent is also beautiful thank you, I hope to have you as a partner in future to send you something nice too.
Response: I’m so happy to know that my 7 Days Memo crossed the ocean and brought a smile to you! I poured my heart into creating it, hoping you would enjoy it, and hearing your joyful words truly means everything to me. This is exactly what makes swapping so special for me. Thank you so much, and I hope we can meet again in another swap!😊

Comment: I am so pleased that I received your first swap. You did a wonderful job too. I thoroughly enjoyed your letter for each day. We also are early to bed (8pm) and awaken around 4am. Nothing like watching the colors of sky during sun rise. Plus, we get to see the breathtaking sunsets too. I also really appreciated the Santa Christmas Card. You did not give me your address, but if you could, please message me, so I can start writing you. Having smiles in the mailbox is so much better than bills, don't you agree? Wishing you and your family a wonderful Holiday Season and a blessed 2025.
Response: I’m so relieved to hear that my very first swap arrived safely! It makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed it✨ As for my address, I’ll send it to you in a message later. I’m really looking forward to exchanging smiles through the mailbox like this again. Thank you so much!

Response: Marie, your comment made me so happy I couldn’t help but shout “Woohoo!” Thank you so much! And a reply from you?! That would be absolutely wonderful—please feel free to write anytime!

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely swap ! I absolutely love it, I think the Kokeshi doll stickers drew my attention first,because I love miniatures.
Response: Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’m so happy to hear that you loved the stickers, especially the Kokeshi ones. I didn’t know you liked miniatures, but it makes me even happier that they caught your attention. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Comment: Thank you for lovely pictures. The wrath is adorable. I love many Japanese sweets and snacks. My favorites are caramel corn. I tried all kind of pocky, but the strawberry ones are the best. Happy Holidays!
Response: Thank you so much for your kind words and the 5-star rating! I’m so happy you liked the pictures. It’s great to hear you’re a fan of Japanese snacks! 🍓 Strawberry Pocky is such a classic flavor—I love it too. And Caramel Corn, yes! The texture is so light and crunchy, it’s hard to stop eating once you start, right? I hope you have a wonderful holiday season filled with joy (and maybe some more snacks)! 😊
