About the Book

¿En qué consiste exactamente el espíritu japonés?

72 palabras para entender que la verdadera felicidad es la compartida.

Wa significa armonía, pero como todas las palabras japonesas evoca mucho más. Wa es, de hecho, todo lo que es suave, sereno y moderado, pero también hace referencia a todo lo que es japonés. Wa es un prefijo que se aplica tanto a cosas como a conceptos. A través de wa, Japón nos enseña su mejor lección: la belleza, la alegría y el civismo se construyen con grandes dosis de compromiso, mediante el trabajo continuo en uno mismo, ejercitando la paciencia, haciendo las cosas con cuidado y nunca a expensas de otros, porque una felicidad verdaderamente duradera es un proyecto de todos y nunca de uno solo.

Laura Imai Messina, autora italiana afincada en Tokio y creadora del blog Japan Mon Amour, realiza en este libro un viaje a través de setenta y dos palabras que simbolizan y encarnan el encancanto y la esencia de Japón, y nos desvela el significado oculto de unos nombres llenos de poesía; como las setenta y dos estaciones del antiguo calendario lunar japonés, que cada cinco días da la oportunidad de renovarse.

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.

Wa means harmony, but like all Japanese words it evokes much more. Wa is, in fact, everything that is soft, serene and moderate, but also refers to everything that is Japanese. Wa is a prefix that applies to both things and concepts. Through wa, Japan teaches us its best lesson: beauty, joy and civility are built with a big dose of commitment, through continuous work on oneself, exercising patience, doing things thoughtfully and never at the expense of others because a truly lasting happiness is a project that involves all and never just one.

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.
