Why do the Maneki-neko lift a paw?
Why are the Darumas red?
Do the Shîsâ always go in pairs?
Does an Inu-hariko represent a dog or a cat?
Do Japanese toilets really want our physical integrity?

Both comic strip and travel diary, this humorous and very well-documented book tells you all about these everyday objects, everyday objects or lucky charms, that you have surely seen or come across.

Joranne offers us a book to taste, an open window on Japan, a gold mine on Japanese culture and its objects which may seem trivial, but say a lot about the country where they come from and its inhabitants.

Illustrator and blogger, she arrived in Japan for the first time in 2009. She brought back a suitcase full of small Japanese objects. A few trips later she became a specialist and tells their story for our greatest pleasure.
