BOOK OF ICHIGO ICHIE

Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and special, the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie is a tenet of Zen Buddhism. It is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or 'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment. From this age-old concept comes a new kind of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use all five senses to anchor yourself in the present.
