## About this item

Oubaitori means four flowering trees in Japanese, and this self-acceptance book by Saori Okada turns them into a clear guide to putting comparison aside. It suits anyone who measures their progress against other people, and anyone curious about Japanese culture.

Sakura (cherry blossom) symbolises new beginnings and the fleeting beauty of life. Ume (apricot blossom) stands for strength and resilience, Momo (peach blossom) for joy, creativity and playful energy with vivid colours, and Sumomo (plum blossom) for humility and inner confidence. The 192-page hardback pairs mindful meditations and nature-based exercises with insights from Japanese philosophy, and it measures 137 x 181 x 19 mm.

Saori Okada's book makes a bold gift for a birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day. The message is simple: there is no need to compare. Choose Oubaitori for the reader in your life who is ready to stop comparing and honour their own pace.
