A Japanese-inspired guide to living a happier, more fulfilled life.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Japonisme is a Japanese-inspired guide to living a happier, more fulfilled life.

This book explores the Japanese art of finding contentment and includes practical tips and tricks to live a happier, healthier, more thoughtful life. What is your ikigai (purpose)? How do you practice mindfulness in the unpredictability and chaos of everyday life?

From shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), calligraphy, ikebana (flower arranging) to tea ceremonies and their approach to food, the Japanese have found contentment through traditions, philosophies, and the practice of art. Japonisme shows how we can all incorporate aspects of these traditions into our daily lives.

Enhance your lifestyle and enrich your mind by looking at life through the lens of wabi-sabi (the transient nature of life), kintsugi (repairing broken ceramics with gold), or kaizen (habit-forming techniques), in an accessible, practical way.
