Letter From Japan

FROM THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING

Bring six life-changing Japanese practices into your life to make it more beautiful, peaceful and meaningful.

"This book represents some of the guiding principles by which I lead my life every day. They also define, at least for me, the values that flow through the customs, traditions, arts and sensibilities of Japan." MARIE KONDO, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING

We discover why appreciating the beauty of sakura, cherry blossom, allows for a moment to deeply experience a season through a single entity (Cherish). In the traditional tea ceremony, we see the importance of kiwameru, the Japanese word for achieving mastery or perfection (Perfect). In umami, we taste how something simple and delicious can nourish the heart (Savour). We explore why the things left unsaid, ma, are just as important as the words we say (Harmonise).

The beautiful hardback edition, which will include gold foiling on the cover and illustrated pages, will make the perfect gift.
