How to Live Japanese explores Japan's history, culture, customs, and cuisine. The book covers traditional Japanese practices such as forest-bathing (shinrin-yoku) and kintsugi, the art of celebrating imperfections, which have developed alongside modern well-being practices. Yutaka Yazawa offers an insider's guide to Japanese design, cookery, philosophy, and culture. The book examines Tokyo as a major metropolis and model for urban living, while also highlighting Japan's extensive forests and the country's respect for the natural world. Topics range from Miyazaki to mountains, sake to ikigai, providing an introduction to Japanese customs and ways of living.
