Japanese Home

Are you a weekend carpenter that wants to make traditional Japanese joints? Do you want to apply Japanese ingenuity of design to everyday furniture and give them a special character? For centuries before the invention of screws and fasteners, Japanese craftsmen used complex, interlocking joints to connect pieces of wood for structures and beams, helping to create a unique Japanese aesthetic that can still be seen in the works of modern masters like Shigeru Ban. Up until recent times, however, these techniques were often the carefully guarded secrets of family carpentry guilds.

We work to the point of extreme exhaustion. Everyone is just too rushed, hurried, and stressed. We alleviate our stress by shopping for more stuff, binge eating, and engaging in time-wasting activities. We fill our lives with needless activities, relationships, and clutter. This makes us lose sense of who we really are and what’s important to us. This is the reason why the Japanese people have developed a lifestyle that strips away the inessential things in their lives. It’s called minimalism. In this audiobook, you’ll hear proven strategies on how to practice minimalism.

Imagine this: stepping into a room where you instantly felt more at ease, where you felt comfortable and connected to tradition and nature. A room that embraced you with its serene energy, a sanctuary from the noise and chaos of the modern world.

Chowa is a Japanese concept that is often translated as 'harmony', but more accurately means 'the search for balance'.

This book will teach you how to apply the lessons of chowa to your own life to better focus on what really matters and cultivate an everyday state of equilibrium and calm that will help you feel ready for anything.

Personally attached to Zen Buddhism, wabi-sabi is a style that invites solace and an unpretentious otherworldliness into the home.

To establish a genuine wabi-sabi climate, one must gradually strip away overabundance and figure out how to be fulfilled living at the same time. Wabi-Sabi Home describes the rich history of this arising pattern in home plans and uncovers endless ways of bringing wabi-sabi components into contemporary residing spaces.
