How to Take a Japanese Bath by Leonard Koren
Since its first publication in 1992, this book has become a curious classic, taking a simple (yet often incorrectly performed) activity and depicting it with a graphic, manga-style edge. In twelve drawings a young Japanese man is shown preparing, rinsing, soaking, communing, relaxing, contemplating--all an encouragement to readers to slow down, ease into the hot water, and enjoy this timeless ritual of purity and release."Guaranteed to rinse away all your doubts and fears"--Look Japan
"This book is a physical work of art--as it should be, because the Japanese bath is an aesthetic event."--Whole Earth Review
