The Way of Nagomi

Nagomi is a Japanese wisdom that teaches how to sustainably use all the first destinies, helping people live a calm and harmonious life.

The word “nagomi” does not have an exact equivalent in the Ukrainian language, but it is desirable that it enter the lexicon of every person. The concept enshrined in this word is well known to all residents of Japan: to acquire nagomi means to find calm and emotional balance. This everyday philosophy is deeply rooted in Japanese culture: from the way of cooking food (the combination of sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami) to the custom of celebrating the fleeting season of sakura blossoming - it has left its mark everywhere.

In the life of every person there are joys and sorrows, ups and downs. In the book you hold in your hands, world-renowned author Ken Mogi explains why it is important to wholeheartedly accept the way the world works and to balance all experiences, both positive and negative. By delving into the history, traditions, and culture of Japan and providing tools to help you enjoy life, the author shows how each of us can create a nagomi for ourselves.
