The bulk of what makes Anna’s heart sing is largely based on the admiration of two things; all things Japanese, and ceramics.
 
Starting from her first-hand introduction to Japan, she navigates us through a multitude of her personal experiences in this remarkable country and its profound impact on her. More intimately she shares details about her journey with mental health and grief.
Consequently, she rediscovers her means of creating, making for a steady starting block to push off, back into her power.
 
This book is a beautiful insight into Japan through short stories, anecdotes and imagery. A blissful reminder that true joy doesn’t always mean flying halfway across the world to sling clay. But if it’s to Japan, it certainly won’t hurt.
