Join Sanae Ishida to discover the meaning of “shibui” - the Japanese philosophy of finding the simple, subtle beauty that emerges with time. Through watercolor illustrations, personal stories, and mindfulness reflections, Shibui: The Japanese Art of Finding Beauty in Aging offers Eastern wisdom to help readers embrace healthy aging with joy and grace.
Through engaging personal essays, watercolor illustrations, and practical activities, Japanese-American author Sanae Ishida presents a refreshing alternative to Western anti-aging messages. Each chapter explores a different dimension of aging beautifully: beauty (bi), health (kenkou), purpose (mokuteki), wealth (tomi), connection (tsunagari), and approaching life’s end (owari).
Readers will find:
This beautifully designed gift book offers both wisdom and actionable ideas for anyone seeking to age with grace, purpose, and joy. Perfect for readers who enjoyed Ikigai, The Swedish Art of Aging Exuberantly, and The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning.
Engage with these words through a thoughtful presentation led by Sanae Ishida, followed by a conversation and Q+A with TATTER’s founder, Jordana Munk Martin.
