Caring, thoughtfulness and empathy are at the core of every aspect of everyday life in Japan. There are many ways in which the Japanese emphasise the importance of human connection and helping each other, from omotenashi (the traditional art of hospitality), kirei (cleanliness and order), mottainai (thrift and respect for things), and zakka (finding beauty in small things). Japanese-British writer Erin Niimi Longhurst’s book will help you become more mindful, happier and kinder by bringing elements of Japanese culture and worldview into your life. The publication contains many colour photographs and illustrations by the popular contemporary Japanese artist Ryo Takemasa. “Omoiyari is unselfish, selfless, active empathy. To put yourself in someone else’s place, from that position to understand what that person needs, and to act in such a way that he or she becomes calm, comfortable, good and joyful. Sometimes it is important to understand people whose views on life are very different from ours. Even if we do not agree with them, we can expand our horizons of thinking and benefit from new experiences." (Erin Niimi Longhurst)
