The Japanese Art of Harmonious Living
9.99 €
In Japan, a country with a long history and a very high standard of living, the highest achievement for a person is to find harmony. It is embodied in accepting the imperfections of the world, aging and even death, in a subtle sense of beauty and achieving balance in all spheres.
The book by linguist Mari Fujimoto describes 43 basic values of Japanese culture that help to understand oneself, become closer to nature, reconcile with the passage of time and improve relationships with loved ones. These concepts include the well-known ones, such as kaizen, wabi-sabi, and ikigai, and the virtually unknown ones, such as hansei, sunao, shibui, and many others. The text is complemented by haiku by the great Matsuo Basho, poetic essays by David Buckler, a South African in love with Japan, and works by Michael Kenna, a recognized master of black-and-white photography.
