Through \u003ci\u003ewa\u003c\/i\u003e, Japan teaches us its best lesson: beauty, joy, and civility are built with large doses of commitment, through continuous self-improvement, exercising patience, doing things carefully, and never at the expense of others, because truly lasting happiness is a project for everyone and never for just one person.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLaura Imai Messina, an Italian author based in Tokyo and creator of the blog \u003ci\u003eJapan Mon Amour\u003c\/i\u003e, takes us on a journey through seventy-two words that symbolize and embody the charm and essence of Japan, revealing the hidden meaning of names full of poetry; like the seventy-two stations of the ancient Japanese lunar calendar, which every five days offers an opportunity for renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe teachings from Japan are more relevant than ever, even in the West. But what exactly is the Japanese spirit? Japan's ancient name was \u003ci\u003eYamato\u003c\/i\u003e which, divided into its ideograms, means \"Great \u003ci\u003ewa\u003c\/i\u003e,\" that is, \"Great Harmony.\" And that harmony, which is a priority of Japanese culture and dominates the words and attitudes of its people, is also a concept in progress, a system of absorption, choice, and adaptation, which gives Japan that halo of magical mystery that fascinates the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laura Imai Messina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43060968816888,"sku":"9789585549487","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4897\/5608\/products\/9789585549487_6afa0892-6799-41de-860a-150a030493e7.jpg?v=1658292272","url":"https:\/\/ellector.com.pa\/es\/products\/libro-wa-la-via-japonesa-de-la-armonia","provider":"Librerías El Lector Panamá","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
