A glance at Eastern perspective and minimalistic ideals
A good book to read especially during a time where technology thrives. This book describes Japanese culture, in a tone that clings on to the old way of thinking. An admiration for the beauty of a simplistic lifestyle. The tone throughout the book depicts the art in architecture, food, to the way women should be perceived. A gem to cling on to a world before modern technology. Shows that life can be beautiful without it.
