- Book Synopsis
-
Ideal for readers who:
- Want Japanese culture, beauty and ritual approached with calm and curiosity.
- Are drawn to books that offer wonder through place, craft and everyday life.

Escape to Japan with Marie Kondo's Letter from Japan, the new book for anyone who wants to bring calm, wonder and beauty to their life through Japanese culture - the perfect gift this autumn.
In her brand new book Marie Kondo, bestselling author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, reveals the aspects of Japanese culture that are intrinsic to a lifestyle full of calm, wonder and beauty.
Through six chapters - Cherish, Perfect, Consider, Harmonise, Purify, and Savour - we learn about the guiding principles that define the values that flow through the arts, rituals, and sensibilities of Japan, and by which Marie leads her life.
We discover why appreciating the beauty of sakura, cherry blossom, allows for a moment to deeply experience a season through a single entity (Cherish). In the traditional tea ceremony, we see the importance of kiwameru, the Japanese word for achieving mastery or perfection (Perfect). In umami, we taste how something simple and delicious can nourish the heart (Savour). We explore why the things left unsaid, ma, are just as important as the words we say (Harmonise).
Above all, we learn how recognising these moments - the ones that bring happiness and fulfilment - can lead to a more satisfying and joyful life. The beautiful hardback edition, which will includes foiling on the cover and illustrated pages, will make the perfect gift this autumn.
