Shimmering Japanese Sunlight - Kay Thomas - Bog

- Musings on a Woman's Travels to Japan

Bag om Shimmering Japanese Sunlight

Shimmering Japanese Sunlight is one woman's experience traveling to Japan where she discovers the unexpected in a treasure of an island country. Thomas travels for knowledge rather than information, and this collection of essays invites you to see through the author's eyes with her glint of humor how she engages with the overall politeness in the nature of the Japanese people, and the surprising quietness on crowded city streets. Three generations after World War II and Thomas wants to put her childhood thoughts from her schoolbooks to rest by going to Hiroshima. Travel is always about the people connections and Thomas takes you along to visit housewives demonstrating the art of sushi making, an Ikebana teacher guiding her patiently in the tradition of floral arranging and a Zen Buddhist priest offering a tea ceremony and mindful meditation.
