Urawaza
Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan | Lisa Katayama
1 post
Japan has a way of thinking that is just...different. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Tokyo-born journalist Lisa Katayama's collection of urawaza (a Japanese word for secret lifestyle tricks and techniques). Want to turbocharge your sled? Spray the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Can't find someone to water your plants while you're away? Place the plant on a water-soaked diaper, so it slowly absorbs water over time. The subject of popular TV shows and numerous books in Japan, these unusually clever solutions to everyday problems have never before been published in English—until now! Urawaza collects more than 100 once-secret tricks, offering step-by-step directions and explanations.

Wound up picking up a few old books related to Japan and a lovely poster from the nonprofit publishing company/ art cafe during our walk! #artcafe #supportlocal #localart #shoplocal #usedbook #japan
