Abstract

An illustrated seasonal almanac offering inspiring ways to incorporate traditional Japanese seasonal events, customs, and food culture into modern daily life. The book is guided by Yuka Saiki, a Japanese culture researcher who was born into a historic family in Kagoshima and raised under the guidance of her traditional grandmother, experiencing seasonal customs firsthand.
Through beautiful illustrations and evocative text, you can learn the joy of "living with a Japanese touch" as well as traditional heritage—from floral arrangements and seasonal tableware settings, to savoring seasonal ingredients, traditional outdoor leisure, gift-giving etiquette, and practical tips for daily life.
A wonderful volume for the whole family to enjoy—whether you are looking for an activity to try today, reminiscing about the past, or passing these timeless traditions on to your children and grandchildren.
