THERE’S BEAUTY IN GETTING OLDER.
Shibui explores a Japanese approach to aging that finds beauty, wisdom, and even joy in the passage of time. Author and artist Sanae Ishida draws from Japanese traditions and her own Japanese-American experience to offer a perspective that feels refreshingly different from our culture’s fixation on staying young.
Through personal essays, watercolor illustrations, practical reflections, and Japanese concepts including wabi, kenkou, mokuteki, tomi, and tsunagari, Ishida looks at the many dimensions of growing older and living well.
Thoughtful without being heavy, and beautifully illustrated throughout, it’s the kind of book you can read straight through or leave out and return to when you need it.
Hardcover • 176 pages
Approx. 7.3 × 5.3 in.
Available in person this summer.
