Introducing and explaining some of the most poignant Japanese
words, Ikigai is a lifestyle as well as a language book. From the
wistful poetry of mono-no-aware, a word that asks us to recognize
the bittersweet transience of all things, to the quiet harmony of
wa, which knits together all of society's structures, this book is
an introduction to the intricacies and value of Japanese phrases
and concepts. It hopes to inspire you to incorporate these words
into your own lifestyle and adopt a more mindful attitude to life's
stresses, seeking meaning beyond materialism. In addition to over
40 `words to live by', Ikigai features musings on the place of
beauty, community, time and nature in Japanese thought, teaching
mindfulness by way of compelling haikus, and illustrated by Michael
Kenna's reflective photography throughout.
