Seijaku

Seijaku (say-ak-oo) means tranquility and silence in Japanese.

Rooted in timeless Japanese wisdom, Seijaku introduces readers to culturally rich, lesser-known concepts such as Ma (the space between things), Shikata ga nai (the practice of letting go) and Yutori (ideas of spaciousness and margin) – ideal for fans of books like Ikigai, Wabi Sabi and Zen: The Art of Simple Living.

In Seijaku, doctor and Japanese wellness guru Miki Fujito draws on ancient wisdom to help you find stillness amid the chaos – not as an escape from life but as a way to live it fully. Miki explores how the principles of stillness (drawn from Zen philosophy, nature and timeless Japanese traditions) can help us reclaim balance, resilience and clarity.

Through practical rituals and prompts, mindful reflections and the power of ma, you’ll learn to slow down, listen deeply and cultivate calm in everyday life. Whether through the serenity of a morning ritual, the acceptance of imperfection or the quiet power of letting go, Seijaku offers a path to peace in even the busiest of worlds.
