make time to learn about how to live Japanese. Whether it's the cutting
edge of film-making, revolutionizing the whisky market or competing with
parents on lunchboxes, you'll be all the better for some time spent
with How to Live Japanese.
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.
From Japanese writer, Yutaka Yazawa, The Little Book of Japanese
Living is the pocket edition of his popular insider guide to the
country of Japan, full of inspiration and insight to help you experience
the very best of Japanese design, cookery, philosophy, and culture. So
get outdoors, be gracious to your neighbour and start harmonizing your
all too busy life.
