Description
An armchair traveller's journey through fifty of Japan's most breathtaking landscapes, and the lessons we can glean along the way.
Step inside the breathtaking landscapes of Japan - from the moss forest of Saiho-ji (Koke-dera) to the bamboo groves of Arashiyama, to the borrowed scenery of Murin-an - and discover the life lessons rooted in each space.
Written by Miki Fujito, founder of Japanese Wellness Travel and author of Seijaku: The Japanese Secret to Finding Stillness, this book pairs each beautiful landscape with a piece of enduring wisdom drawn from Japanese philosophy. The Beauty of Japan will also be organized in thematic sections, bringing the Japanese wellness lessons front and centre of the book.
Blending the immersive pleasure of travel writing with reflective lessons to live by, from the art of flexibility (Yawaraka) to the power of connection (Shakkai), this full-colour book will invite readers not only to explore Japan's extraordinary beauty but also to pause, reflect and carry its quiet teachings into their own lives.
With stunning photography and illustrative accents by artist Annie Davidson throughout, this book will transport you to unmissable magical landscapes and show you how to embrace the Japanese way of living.
