Wellness coach Saori Okada brings together 60 teachings, paired with stunning traditional artworks to match each concept, all rooted in Japan’s ancient heritage.

Some of the most important mindsets in modern culture are derived from ancient Japan. In her new book, The Wisdom of Ancient Japan, Saori introduces 60 concepts to help the reader change their mindset, finding harmony and embracing life’s challenges. From the seven principles of the warrior code to more familiar concepts such as Ikigai and others such as fostering gratitude with Go-en and embracing strength after you fall with Nana korobi ya oki: these are timeless philosophies to live by.

Illustrated throughout of Japan’s much-revered ukiyo-e woodblocks, this little book is every bit as beautiful as it is practical.

Saori Okada is a UKIHCA-registered health coach, Japanese calligraphy artist, and founder of Mogami 最上 Wellness, a London-based brand rooted in the philosophy and traditions of Japanese wellness.
