Shibui

$19.95
SHIBUI introduces readers to a transformative Japanese approach to aging that celebrates the subtle beauty, wisdom, and joy that emerge with time.

Through engaging personal essays, watercolor illustrations, and practical activities, Japanese-American author Sanae Ishida presents a refreshing alternative to Western anti-aging messages. Each chapter explores a different dimension of aging beautifully: beauty (bi), health (kenkou), purpose (mokuteki), wealth (tomi), connection (tsunagari), and approaching life's end (owari).

Readers will find:
  • Personal anecdotes that bridge Eastern and Western perspectives on aging
  • Gentle watercolor illustrations that bring Japanese concepts to life
  • Cultural insights into Japanese traditions that honor aging
  • Practical exercises and reflections to apply shibui principles to daily life
  • Simple activities to cultivate appreciation for life's later chapters

This beautifully designed gift book offers both wisdom and actionable ideas for anyone seeking to age wit
About Our Flowers

Every FLWR arrangement is individually designed with the best flowers available that day. We handpick unusual varieties, seasonal favorites and exceptional stems for their color, form and movement rather than working from fixed recipes. Your arrangement will reflect the palette and feeling pictured here, while the flowers themselves will be particular to the season and the moment.

SIzing

Our arrangements are generously sized and designed for consistency at every price point. Our $100 arrangement is perfectly suited as a centerpiece for a four-person dining table. As you move up in size, expect a noticeably larger, fuller arrangement with more flowers and greater impact

Care

A little care goes a long way. Keep the vase topped up with fresh water, and change the water every couple days whenever possible. Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, heating and air-conditioning vents, and other sources of extreme heat or cold. Remove individual blooms as they fade and enjoy watching your arrangement change as it ages.
