Homespun wisdom from Japan updated for today's "green lifestyle" choices.
Starting with the notion that some traditions--like drinking green tea for health and mental acuity--embody timeless wisdom for living, Toshimi A. Kayaki offers dozens of wise old Japanese ways for improving how you look and feel while respecting nature and the environment.
Carry your own pair of chopsticks, wear five-toe socks, eat salty plums, use rice water as floor wax, do "eco-laundry," and always set aside 10 percent for savings . . . you get the idea. By leading a "green tea life," you'll help yourself and the planet.
Toshimi A. Kayaki, born and raised in Japan, moved to the USA in 1989. She has written for newspapers, magazines, and advertising and has been a radio and TV reporter. She has published 22 books, mostly about cultural comparisons, women's issues, housekeeping hints, and self-improvement. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and son and cat.
