Book Features & Author Introduction

Can You Explain “Tokonoma,” “Kimono,” or “Katsuobushi” in English?

This bilingual guide (Japanese/English) helps you understand and explain all those everyday Japanese things—like traditional homes, food, and daily essentials—that are often harder to describe than you might think! Covering everything from Japanese-style architecture and kitchenware to iconic foods, the book also includes fun trivia, cultural etiquette, and useful advice in each section.

From the Introduction:
One author is 155 cm tall and grew up in rural Japan, eating rice, sweet potatoes, and persimmons from the garden. The other is 185 cm tall and was raised in the heart of England, eating potatoes, rhubarb, and gooseberries. Today, they both live in homes with tatami mats, cook with donabe, sip awamori, collect kokeshi dolls, and enjoy eating natto.
