Omoiyari. A small book on Japanese communication philosophy.
Care, attention, and empathy are at the core of all aspects of daily life in Japan. There are many ways in which the Japanese emphasize the importance of human connections and mutual assistance: from omotenashi (the traditional art of hospitality), to kirei (cleanliness and order), to mottainai (thriftiness and respect for things), to zakka (finding beauty in small things). The book by Japanese-British writer Erin Niimi Longhurst will help you become more mindful, happier, and kinder, by introducing elements of Japanese culture and worldview into your life. The edition contains numerous colorful photographs and illustrations by the popular contemporary Japanese artist Ryo Takemasa.
"Omoiyari is unselfish, selfless, active compassion. To put oneself in another's place, to understand from that perspective what this person needs, and to act in a way that makes them feel calm, comfortable, good, and joyful. Sometimes it is very important to understand people whose views on life differ greatly from our own. Even if we do not agree with them, we can broaden the horizons of our thinking and benefit from new experiences." (Erin Niimi Longhurst)
Japanism. A small book on Japanese wisdom of life.
It is not necessary to be born in Japan to find your ikigai (purpose, reason for being), to appreciate the beauty of the fleeting and unfinished (wabi-sabi), to see beauty in imperfection, and to give credit to the difficulties and trials that leave their mark on us (kintsugi). From shinrin-yoku ("forest baths"), calligraphy and ikebana to the tea ceremony, home decor, and a special attitude towards food - the Japanese know how to combine bodily pleasures and spiritual practices. This book will help you become more mindful and happier, by introducing elements of Japanese culture and worldview into your daily life. The edition contains numerous colorful photographs and illustrations by the popular contemporary Japanese artist Ryo Takemasa.
"I want to awaken in you the desire to look at your life in a new way, to enrich and beautify it." (Erin Niimi Longhurst)
