{"product_id":"shikake-naohiro-matsumura-9781631497810","title":"Shikake","description":"Following The Little Book of Hygge, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning and other bestsellers, Shikake introduces the latest example of practical wisdom from abroad: shikakeology, a phenomenon sweeping Japan. Naohiro Matsumura—renowned as the founder of the study of shikake, the Japanese word for “device”—has devised a new approach to design as astonishingly simple in its logic as it is sophisticated in its psychology. For example:• a staircase painted like piano keys prompts people to exercise• a symbol of a shrine placed in a public square discourages vandalismCombining traditional Japanese aesthetics with the lessons of behavioural economics, Matsumura presents a tool kit for literally anyone who wants to create their own mindful designs—and reveals how shikakes can help us address big challenges, including even climate change. Mind-bending yet elegant, Shikake will inspire readers to appreciate—and transform—the analogue world around them.","brand":"W W Norton \u0026 Co Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51348380582176,"sku":"9781631497810","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781631497810.jpg?v=1781111567","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/shikake-naohiro-matsumura-9781631497810","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
