外文书名：Urawaza: 日本的日常生活诀窍

内容简介 Japan has a way of thinking that is just . . . different. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Tokyo-born journalist Lisa Katayama's collection of urawaza (a Japanese word for secret lifestyle tricks and techniques). Want to turbocharge your sled? Spray the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Can't find someone to water your plants while you're away? Place the plant on a water-soaked diaper, so it slowly absorbs water over time. The subject of popular TV shows and numerous books in Japan, these unusually clever solutions to everyday problems have never before been published in English until now! Urawaza collects more than 100 once-secret tricks, offering step-by-step directions and explanations in an eye-catching package as unconventional as its contents.
作者简介 Lisa Katayama grew up in Tokyo, where she observed first-hand the popularity of urawaza. She is an associate editor at Planet magazine and a regular contributor to Wired magazine, as well as a member of JAPA, which is a group of trendsetters in Japanese pop-culture.
