Today's Basics

Description
Book Introduction
“Find your own classic”
Pursuing the basic aesthetics of life
A book for all life minders.
In an era where we need a 'lifemind' rather than a 'lifestyle', 'Today's Basics' is a guidebook for those who want to find their own unchanging basics. It is an essay that compiles '77 basics for a pleasant life'.
From how to choose items to simple table settings, this series compiles a record of an honest life, published once a week for a year.
It introduces the basics of being yourself in six areas of life: clothing, food, housing, possessions, pleasure, and attitude.
In an age where the disorderly use of the word "lifestyle" and the overflow of other people's tastes are causing us to feel fatigued, "Today's Basics" raises a new topic of "life" and presents the concept of "lifemind."
As you read through the mindsets and orders for living a pleasant life, you will encounter a gentle switch called "basics" that are unique to you and will bring you back from the periphery to the center of life.
“With a warm glass of milk and a slice of toast by my side, I ponder which bowl to serve rice in, which socks to wear, and which greeting to choose, searching for the ‘feel good’ that is just right for me.
We press the question of the basics of that journey to find the center of our daily lives.
“You just need to build up such enjoyable and simple daily routines and move forward with a light and refreshing mind.” - From the introduction
The 'Lifeminder' mentioned in the book refers to all those who create their own basics with a heart that loves life.
You long to experience the longing for life, a love you've neglected, driven by a focus on style over lifestyle, and standards over standards! As you close the book, you'll find yourself discovering a love for life.

Into the book
"Stretching out your heart just one more inch.
Let's keep something by our side that can help us gauge the strength of such an honest life.
"To build physical strength, you need to lift heavy objects, but to build mental strength, it's usually thin and light objects."
--- p.229
"Knowing just the right amount of weight in everyday life.
That's the key to a pleasant life."
--- p.233
"In summer, love small and light things.
Let's keep something cute like a wildflower and sour like a tomato by our side."
--- p.233
"Writing, replying, sending a text message, as if writing a letter, means leading from beginning to end with only my heart, without borrowing the power of anything other than my own words.
I want to cherish and cultivate that kind of linguistic endurance."
--- p.309
"Fold.
Insert.
Stack up.
Pick.
It is fundamental to respect the unique nature of all actions, big or small, in life.
We take a broad view of the landscape in which everything will be placed, and carefully design the layout of everyday life.
The hand just gently covers it."

Publisher's Review
“Let’s love life.”
"Today's Basics" is a collection of short stories about one person's life and small acts of sincerity, written without fail every week for a year with the sole intention of "writing in a pleasant way."
Those times, accumulated one by one, are what make up this story, and it can be said that it is someone's 'endurance of life'.
Filled with stories that the author personally experienced and tried, "Today's Basics" is a book that introduces a new genre called "life," which is neither an essay, self-development, nor a book about household chores.
This book, which focuses on the importance of the 'basics', unfolds daily life in a somewhat didactic yet never stiff manner, and presents the concept of 'something fun' and 'something pleasant' rather than a rule.
I look for something a little more like me, a little more pleasant, a little more neat, a little more kind.
The author's tireless pursuit of making each day a little more enjoyable demonstrates both a firm commitment to himself and a love for life.
The writing, written in a uniquely refined and warm style, can provide a small comfort in everyday life.
I hope this book will be a valuable encouragement to those of you who are seeking to discover your own unchanging "aesthetics of life."
Whenever your daily life suddenly becomes dull, you can unfold it and it will smooth out the wrinkles in your life.
Let this be your ever-present, affectionate notebook on your journey to loving life.
