Pleasantly Informative ReadBy dannyThe book is great! it is formatted as a collection of three stories with a concise analysis and explaination of how facets of Edo period life can be applied to improving modern life and fighting climate change. The stories make the majority of the book and are fairly easy to read. I appreciate the diagrams and illustrations provided in the book; for they improve the readability of the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book.By Jason Michael GoffI give this book five stars because of the way he explains the living conditions of Edo Japan in story like format brings the reader into the world of Japanese culture during this period of time. I thought it was great how he explains everything in such detail that you can imagine the places he takes you to. I liked how he summed up at the end and explained the ways we can use the knowledge in the book in the environment that each of us now live.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Heartwarming time travel to pre-modern JapanBy FrereA deep dive into the architecture; agriculture; sociology and soul of rural urban Japan in the 18th century; just before the irruption of the "modern" times. Spiritually and technically inspiring for rethinking modern homes and life styles. An excellent surprise; congratulations to the author for this careful and thorough work.
