Description: Home is not where you are. It is what shaped your soul.
Furusato is not just where you grew up. It is the landscape written into your cells - the place that explains you to yourself. The Japanese word Furusato (ふるさと) carries within it an entire philosophy of belonging: the idea that we are all shaped by a place, and that finding - or creating - that sense of home is one of the deepest needs of the human soul.
Whether you are far from where you grew up, grieving a home that no longer exists, or searching for a place you have never yet found - this book is for you.
Inside, you will explore:
- How the places you grew up are still alive inside you - shaping you right now
- How to grieve a home that has changed, or one you can never return to
- The practices of rootedness - how to plant yourself fully wherever you are
- Why some people feel like home - and how to find those people
- How to become a place of belonging for others - to be someone's Furusato
You have always had a home. It lives inside you. Furusato will help you find your way back to it.
