An original edition published by Himawari-sha, the publishing house founded by Junichi Nakahara.
Rather than a collection of poetry, this book is a lifestyle guide that proposes ways for women in postwar Japan to live “joyfully and anew.”
Drawing on themes such as fashion, the home, flowers, tea, and social relationships, Nakahara reflects on his vision of a beautiful and fulfilling life.
Written during a period of postwar reconstruction, the book explores how one might live beautifully, rationally, and richly despite limited circumstances. These ideas would go on to have a profound influence on Japanese women’s culture in the decades that followed.
Illustrated throughout with Nakahara’s own drawings and photographs, this is a valuable document of postwar Japanese aesthetics and everyday life.
