This book is amazing if you want to dive deeper into seasonal festivities of Japan. It might seem like it’s not that relevant of a topic, if you are not looking to celebrate japanese events, but I can promise that it has lots of relevance in terms of decorations! The typical motives can not only be seen in decorations around the house, but also be found on plates and lacquerware. Especially if you want to get into Japanese dishware I can highly recommend getting to know the typical patterns and decorations.
I am adding a link to the book here. For transparency I want to tell you that I might earn a small comission (at no additional cost to you) from qualifying purchases as an Amazon associate. You can actually order things directly from Amazon Japan if you can’t find them on your own country’s page! You just need to log into Amazon Japan with your usual username and password and put your home adress in. It will automatically calculate shipping costs and customs taxes (if needed) so you don’t get any nasty surprises. I have personally gotten a lot of stuff from Japan this way when I wasn’t living here.
