Wa. La Vía Japonesa de la Armonía / Wa. the Japanese Way of Harmony

Las enseñanzas procedentes de Japón son más actuales que nunca, incluso en Occidente. Pero, ¿en qué consiste exactamente el espíritu japonés? El antiguo nombre de Japón era Yamato que, dividido en sus ideogramas, significa «Gran wa', es decir, «Gran Armonía'. Y esa armonía, que es una prioridad de la cultura japonesa y domina las palabras y actitudes de su gente, es también un concepto en el camino, un sistema de absorción, elección y adaptación, que le da a Japón ese halo de misterio mágico que fascina al mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

What exactly is the Japanese spirit? 72 words to understand that true happiness is shared. > Laura Imai Messina, Italian author based in Tokyo and creator of the Japan Mon Amour blog, creates in this book a journey through seventy-two words that symbolize and embody the charm and essence of Japan, and reveals the hidden meaning of some names full of poetry; like the seventy-two seasons of the old Japanese lunar calendar, which every five days provides the opportunity to renew.

The teachings from Japan are more current than ever, even in the West. But what exactly is the Japanese spirit? The old name of Japan was Yamato which, divided into its ideograms, means "Great wa," 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 along the way, a system of absorption, choice and adaptation, which gives Japan that halo of magical mystery that fascinates the world.
