Omoiyari. A small book of Japanese philosophy of communication. Nimi Longhurst E.

Care, attention and empathy are the basis of all aspects of everyday life in Japan. There are many ways in which the Japanese emphasize the importance of human connections and mutual assistance: this is Ochotenasi (the traditional art of hospitality), and Kirei (purity and order), and mottaine (frugality and respect for things), and dzakka (search for beauty in details). The book of the Japanese-British writer Erin Nimi Longhurst will help you become more conscious, happier and kinder, bringing the elements of Japanese culture and worldview into your life. The publication contains many color photographs and illustrations of the popular modern Japanese artist Rye Takemas.

“Omoii is an unhealthy, disinterested, active sympathy. Put yourself in the place of another, from this position to understand what this person needs, and act so that he feels calm, comfortable, good and joyful. Sometimes it is very important to understand people whose views on life are very different from ours. Even if we disagree with them, we can expand the horizons of our thinking and benefit from new experience. ”
