Ikigai & other Japanese words to live by
In Japan, a country with a long history and a very high standard of living, finding harmony is considered the highest achievement for a person. It is embodied in the acceptance of the imperfection of the world, aging and even death, in a subtle sense of beauty and the achievement of balance in all areas. The book by linguist Mari Fujimoto talks about 43 basic values of Japanese culture that help you understand yourself, get closer to nature, reconcile with the passage of time and improve relationships with loved ones. Among these concepts there are widely known ones, for example, kaizen, wabi-sabi, ikigai, and practically unfamiliar to us hansei, sunao, shibui and many others. The text is complemented by the haiku of the great Matsuo Basho, the poetic essays of the South African in love with Japan, David Buckler, and the works of the recognized master of black and white photography, Michael Kenna.
