A beautifully illustrated guide to 4 simple and easy-to-adopt daily practices based on the Japanese lifestyle: Nourish, Move, Rest and Socialize.

CREATE A LONG, MEANINGFUL, AND JOYFUL LIFE THE JAPANESE WAY

All you need is one revolutionarily simple concept: Wa

Wa means harmony, a central tenet at the heart of the Japanese belief that to live well is to live in balance. In this book, wellness expert Kaki Okumura shares the practices and psychology behind Wa and the Japanese health secrets that allow anyone, at any point in their life, to improve and sustain their health. Her method to bring Wa into your life is based on 4 pillars: Nourish, Move, Rest, Socialize.

This is a holistic solution to gaining vitality in all aspects of life. Rather than enforcing restrictions or relying on willpower, the pillars are gentle, timeless, and easy to adopt, ensuring that improvements to your health and wellbeing are long-term and effort less.

This book will revolutionize how you care for yourself and lead to greater peace, fulfillment and, ultimately, contentment.
Kaki Okumura is a Japanese wellness writer and illustrator. Growing up in USA, she struggled to find a way to approach her health without falling into narratives of extremism or obsession, and instead turned to her Japanese background to better understand ways we can take care of ourselves to live longer, happier, and more fulfilled lives. Kaki’s writing on the platform Medium garners hundreds of thousands of views a month, and she has been published in Bon Appetit, Heated x Mark Bittman, the Beet, Yes! Magazine, S&P Magazine, Elemental, Forge, and Katie Couric’s email newsletter Wake Up Call. She is Top Writer on Medium in the categories of Cooking, Food, Culture, Health, Psychology.
