Discover the secrets of Japan's seasonal culture and learn to celebrate the beauty of the present moment, wherever you are. A visual and spiritual treasure for cultivating well-being and harmony throughout the year. From cherry blossom season to the first snowfall, acclaimed Japanologist Natalie Leon invites us to approach each day with intention.

Through twelve essential concepts and exquisite illustrations, it takes us on a journey through rituals, recipes, words and practices such as hanami, shinrin yoku and the art of expressing gratitude to nature. You don't need to live in Japan to see the world with fresh eyes.
