Features: A classic read that has influenced the aesthetic tastes and lifestyles of Japanese society for nearly a thousand years. The original blueprint for the experimental film "Forbidden Love" co-produced by the UK, France, and the Netherlands. This is the first time in China to include over 200 classic Ukiyo-e paintings from Japan. "Japanese Style" presents to us a beauty of Japanese mentality. Therefore, we say, "Japanese Style" is Japanese style, and "Japanese Style" is not just Japanese style. It must be emphasized that the style here refers to the synonym of mentality, not anything else. If a reader were to imitate the short sentences found throughout this book—"This is very interesting"—and say ten or eight "This is very interesting," that would indeed be very interesting. Remember, mindful imitation is also a form of practice. We imagine one day, whether walking through the streets or in the office, or chatting with friends, hearing this sentence—"This is very interesting"—every time. That would indeed be a very interesting thing.
