Discover "shibui" — the Japanese philosophy of finding the simple, subtle beauty that emerges with time. Through watercolour illustrations, personal stories, and mindfulness reflections, this book offers Eastern wisdom to help readers embrace healthy ageing with joy and grace.

SHIBUI introduces readers to a transformative Japanese approach to ageing that celebrates the subtle beauty, wisdom, and joy that emerge with time.

Through engaging personal essays, watercolour illustrations, and practical activities, Japanese-American author Sanae Ishida presents a refreshing alternative to Western anti-ageing messages. Each chapter explores a different dimension of ageing beautifully: beauty (bi), health (kenkou), purpose (mokuteki), wealth (tomi), connection (tsunagari), and approaching life's end (owari).
