Simplicity at Home: Japanese Rituals, Recipes, and Arrangements for Thoughtful Living

Finally, a realistic simplicity-themed book. Beautiful photos and simple but thoughtful text that calms the mind and spirit to read. Imagine, a how-to on dyeing clothes that may have a stain to repurpose them instead of throwing them away. Having a limited wardrobe of well made clothes in natural fabrics instead of a shop till you drop closet full of cheap garments fashionable for one season. The author is a business woman living in Tokyo who makes and sells clothing and household goods made from linen. Her company’s website is full of wonderful gift ideas.

As beautiful to look at, as it is to read and to put into practice.

L'auteur vante surtout son business. Quelques recettes de cuisine et autres produits comme le savon. Les photos sont peu intéressantes. Le décor de la maison fait très "lépreux" et décati pour mon goût. j'aime un zen épuré plus stylé. trop wasi sabi pour moi. très déçue.

In our English homes,we have so much stuff.It is overwhelming and excessive. This lovely book shows us how to have beauty and style,along with homely comforts.There are many books around with a similar theme. This one gets the message across because of the author’s writing style,and some great photography.

表紙の装丁が素敵で、中の写真も素敵です。素敵な暮らしのお手本に。
