Book Overview

Slow down, feel present and live in harmony with nature's rhythms by discovering the 72 Japanese microseasons.

Inspired by the traditional Japanese calendar, the 72 microseasons help redirect our attention to the natural world. Learn to observe when the white dew shimmers on the grass or the thunder rumbles far away, and to appreciate when springs once frozen flow once more or sparrows begin building their nests. Notice when plums ripen, turning yellow and use the opportunity to savor the sweetness of the season. Each lasting just five to six days, these microseasons are an opportunity to look outside of ourselves, focus on the here and now.

Tiffany Francis-Baker introduces this beautiful and poetic ancient calendar explaining what each microseason represents through words, practical tips, and gorgeous illustrations by artist Tamae Mizukami. With simple ideas for how to embrace slow living and the Japanese philosophy that every day can be a chance to make positive, seasonally minded changes. The perfect gift for those seeking to slow down, plant moms, Japanophiles and fans of all things kawaii.
