The Japanese secret to being calmer and happier
Ichigo Ichie has been translated as "for this time only", "one time, one meeting" and "once in a lifetime". This 16th century concept originated in tea ceremonies and martial arts and is still today engrained in Japanese life. In the beautifully preserved village of Magone, along the ancient Nakasendo trail between Tokyo and Kyoto, Nina Otsubo Cataldo leads us through the essential steps of this everyday discipline.
