Memories of my grandfather's simple and beautiful days.
Gentle dishes made with vegetables from the fields. The wisdom and ingenuity of a life without waste. Never missing a visit to the grave and enjoying interactions with neighbors... My 96-year-old grandfather, who lives in Shizuoka Prefecture, lives a peaceful and fulfilling life that seems to embody the Zen phrase "Ware Tadataru Shiru" (I only know enough).*
The final days of my grandfather's life, as he carefully lived a magnificent life. Each of the more than 500 photographs in this collection quietly speaks to us about what it means to live a truly fulfilling life.
My grandfather's way of life, earnestly and carefully building each day up, taught me that a rich and beautiful life, and sufficient happiness as a human being, already exists. -From the author's afterword
