of Japanese Living
 By

In love with all things Japan or looking to absorb a little Japanese

wisdom into your daily life?

From the philosophies of ikigai and wabi sabi to kitsch karaoke

nights and futuristic robot restaurants; traditional tea ceremonies and
tranquil onsen dwellings to cosplay culture and J-Pop megastars;
Japan is full of intriguing contradictions.

Though renowned for its ultramodern capital Tokyo - a sprawling

neon-lit metropolis straight from the pages of a science fiction novel
- Japan is still deeply rooted in ancient tradition. And while the
country runs with clockwork precision, the cultural life of the
inhabitants is transformed with the changing of the seasons, a
testament to the enduring power of nature's rhythms.

With each page alive with facts, history and inspiration, Be More
Japan unlocks the secrets behind modern Japanese living - whether
you're eating sushi in London or enjoying the cherry blossoms in
San Francisco. And if you're dreaming of a future trip to Japan (or
awaiting the 2021 Olympics) this book will get you closer to your
destination before you've even departed.
