Inner Thoughts, Elegant Pursuits
2006 Fusosha
Brimming with the unconventionality and spontaneity of the author’s viewpoint, this collection of essays provides hints and inspirations for a truly bountiful and rewarding lifestyle, inspired by her transition from wearing a mini skirt to a kimono, and from being a TV news reporter to the wife of a tea grandmaster. Each 2-page spread depicts fascinating people and ways of living that the author has encountered both in Japan and around the world throughout the process of studying, working, falling in love, marrying, and becoming a homemaker. Full of humour and dignity, these essays leave a refreshing and bittersweet aftertaste, much like that of a bowl of matcha.
