Japonisme: Ikigai, Forest Bathing, Wabi-Sabi and More

Japonisme 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 shinrinyoku (forest bathing), calligraphy, ikebana (fl ower arranging) to tea ceremonies and their approach to food, the Japanese have found contentment through  traditions,philosophies, and the practice of art. This book shows how we can all incorporate  aspects of Japonisme 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.
