It's been a long time since I last reviewed a book here on the blog. However, after coming back from Japan, I thought that one of the books I couldn't get to back then would be quite appropriate to get to now, and that is Maneki Neko: The Japanese Secret to Good Luck and Happiness by Nobuo Suzuki.
My dear readers, today I come to you with a new brand collaboration—the first of 2025—and I'm super excited to share this with you all! While in Japan, I was approached by Kei Nishida, the man behind the successful brands Japanese Green Tea Co., Japanese Coffee Co.—and the one I'll be focusing on today, Japanese Knives Co.—with an offer to check out one of his books.
I recently went on a trip to Japan for almost three months and it was the most amazing experience I've had in a really long time. If you've been a reader of my blog since the very beginning, or you've known me long before that, then you'll know how much I love Japan, and I've spent the past four years researching this country's customs and its culture, so that I would be somewhat prepared when the time was right.
