Product detailed description
Discover a new way of looking at life and the world around us through the ancient Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi. The term expresses the beauty of simplicity, imperfection, and change over time. While in the West wabi sabi is mostly seen as an interior design aesthetic, in Japan it is a much deeper concept woven into everyday life and thought.
In this book, Beth Kempton – a British Japanologist – shares her experiences from Japan and encounters with people who passed on their wisdom. She offers practical advice that Western readers can easily apply in their own lives.
The chapters explore themes such as home and nature, embracing mistakes and negative emotions, relationships, fulfilling work, and the art of living fully in the present moment. With practical tips, reflections, and evocative invitations to visit Japan – from bathing in hot springs to tasting traditional food or exploring centuries-old shrines – this book invites you to rediscover presence and authenticity.
