Hiroschi's Rucksack of Wisdom

This is a miniature treasure trove: the wisdom of a Japanese master, illustrated with delicate ink drawings.

»The most profound truths are always the simplest.« This was the motto of the great Shiatsu master Hiroshi Nozaki. Everything he needed, he carried in his humble rucksack. Here, he imparts his worldly wisdom to his followers in accordance with the seasons. In springtime, for example, at the time of the cherry blossom, everything that had been buried is released and becomes visible again, as beauty and abundance are once more in full flow. Steeped in the fragrance of Asian philosophy, this book offers easy-to-follow rituals, recipes and physical exercise routines.
