This is a beautiful guide to harmonize the body and mind connection through elegant Japanese calligraphy for fans of Ikigai and Wabi Sabi.
The ancient Japanese art of calligraphy is more than just a decorative skill; it is a revolutionary approach to mindfulness. This illustrated book shows how the movement of a brush channels energy through the body and mind, uniting both in harmony. Shodo expert Rie Takeda shares the history, philosophy and craft of Shodo. Decorated throughout with her stunning art, Takeda begins with the basic brushstrokes, and builds up to drawing complete kanji, beautifully nuanced in both appearance and meaning.
Rie Takeda is a professional artist and calligrapher. She has completed a masters in calligraphy at the Gayu calligraphy school. Her collaborations and exhibitions – across Europe and Japan – include a clothing collection for John Lewis and the popular Domestika course “Shodo: Introduction to Japanese Calligraphy”.

This is a beautiful new edition of Neil Philip’s much-praised golden treasury of over one hundred English folktales, all captured in the form in which they were first collected in past centuries. Read these classic tales as they would have been told when storytelling was a living art – when the audience believed in boggarts and hobgoblins, local witches and will-o’-the-wisps, ghosts and giants, cunning foxes and royal frogs. Find “Jack the Giantkiller”, “Tom Tit Tot” and other quintessentially English favourites, alongside interesting borrowings, such as an English version of the Grimms’ “Little Snow White” – as well as bedtime frighteners, including “Captain Murderer”, as told to Charles Dickens by his childhood nurse. Neil Philip has provided a full introduction and source notes on each story that illustrate each tale’s journey from mouth to page. These tales rank among the finest English short stories of all time.
Neil Philip is a writer, folklorist and poet. Among his many books are The Cinderella Story, The Tale of Sir Gawain and The Adventures of Odysseus. His work has won the Aesop Award of the American Folklore Society and the Literary Criticism Book Award of the Children’s Literature Association.
