Eat Sleep Sit: My Year at Japan''s Most Rigorous Zen Temple

English

By (author): Kaoru Nonomura

Translated by: Juliet Winters Carpenter

At the age of 30, Kaoru Nonomura left his family, his girlfriend, and his job as a designer in Tokyo to undertake a year of ascetic training at Eiheiji, one of the most rigorous Zen training temples in Japan. This book is Nonomura's recollection of his experiences. After writing Eat Sleep Sit, Kaoru Nonomura returned to his normal life as a designer, but his book has maintained its popularity in Japan, selling more than 100,000 copies since its first printing in 1996. Beautifully written, and offering fascinating insight into this culture. See more

About Kaoru Nonomura

Born in 1959 Kaoru Nonomura traveled widely in Asia as a university student and upon graduation began to work as a designer in Tokyo. At the age of thirty he decided to put his career on hold to spend a year as a trainee monk at Eiheiji a monastery famed for its rigid discipline. Twelve months later he returned to his design job and it was during his daily commute on a crowded train that he began to jot down his recollections of his Eiheiji experience. These notes eventually became Eat Sleep Sit the author's only book.
