{"product_id":"autumn-light","title":"Autumn Light","description":"We cherish things, Japan has always known, precisely because they cannot last; it''s their frailty that adds sweetness to their beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning to his home in Japan after his father-in-law''s sudden death, Pico Iyer soon picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites: going to the post office in the day and engaging in spirited games of ping-pong in the evenings. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honouring the dead, he soon finds himself grappling with the question we all have to live with: how to hold on to the things we love even though we know that they – and we – are dying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat starts to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before through the season that reminds us to take nothing for granted.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57825529495887,"sku":"9781526611468","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781526611468_1-autumn-light.jpg?v=1780222540","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/autumn-light","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
