With nearly 60 per cent of us living in cities, the mega-city of Tokyo,
through centuries of raze and rebuild, is surely the guiding light for
how we can live together amicably in an ever-urbanising world.
Not only is Japan the mother of all metropolis' but with two thirds
of the country covered in forest, there is still much respect and
celebration of the natural world, with people perfectly placed to make
the most of the green space around them. From the art of making tea,
to going for a hike, or celebrating imperfections, there are
ceremonies the Japanese have been honing for centuries that thrive
alongside modern traditions and practices of well-being.
