Help Cultural Customs - Omoiyari

[samgriff000]

Hi Guys,

I'm kinda new here and am quite into Japanese Philosophies, how the Japanese strictly follow these unofficial social customs; its admirable.

I'm so super into it, I thought I'd start like a series of books about these philosophies. And I already have one under my belt! So excited about it.
I started with Omoiyari, not sure why but I think it's a really beautiful concept. Was going to branch out and explore Ikigai (A bit more mainstream), then Wasi Sabi, Kaizen and perhaps more depending how I feel. I reckon I'd want to see it through though. I think I'd like someone's opinion on the book, also the artwork too! I wanted the cover to convey a subtle beauty, to personify compassion and identify as something traditionally Japanese.
It's on Amazon atm, see the link: Omoiyari - The Japanese Path to Compassion
I know people will be thinking it, but I'm not trying to market my book; I just want people's true feelings and brutal honesty (Lol not too mean). I'm hoping to apply any feedback I get into the next book in the series or even Edition No.2 of Omoiyari.

Many many thanks.

Hi Sam, thanks for posting this. I'm off to work, but I shall add your book to our Review section later today. Once that's done, perhaps you can leave an editor review.

Absolutely! I will by all means leave an editor review!
Safe travels to work, Thomas.

Hi Thomas, I've managed to save you the hassle and I've added my book myself.
Many thanks

I've been speaking Japanese for decades and I don't recall coming across this word or this as a special concept before.
(I guess because I typically don't talk about philosophy at home or work but "kaizen" does seem to come up a lot.)
The book looks very interesting and I think the cover art is very inviting.
