The long-awaited collection of works by Ikkoan, a popular Japanese confectionery shop in Koishikawa, Tokyo, is now on sale to the general public!
Huge response on "Jonetsu Tairiku" (aired February 14, 2016)! A collection of Japanese sweets by Mizukami Riki, owner of the popular Japanese sweets shop "Ikkoan" in Koishikawa, Tokyo. In Japan, there is a way of understanding the seasons called the 72 seasonal divisions, which are made by further dividing the 24 solar terms such as the beginning of spring, the summer solstice, and the autumnal equinox. This book expresses the words of the 72 seasons as beautiful Japanese sweets, conveying to the world the sensibility of the Japanese people, who have elevated Japanese sweets to the level of art. This book, which was previously only available for purchase at select Ikkoan stores and online, has been republished as a new edition. *Available in three languages: Japanese, English, and French
