{"product_id":"9781423619291","title":"The Japanese Bath","description":"In the West, a bath is a place one goes to cleanse the body. In Japan, one goes there to cleanse the soul. Bathing in Japan is about much more than cleanliness: it is about family and community. It is about being alone and contemplative, time to watch the moon rise above the garden. Along with sixty full-color illustrations of the light and airy baths themselves, \u003ci\u003eThe Japanese Bath\u003c\/i\u003e, delves into the aesthetic of bathing Japanese style and the innate beauty of the steps surrounding the process. The authors explain how to create a Japanese bath in your own home. A Zen meditation, the Japanese bath, indeed, cleanses the soul, and one emerges refreshed, renewed, and serene.","brand":"Smith, Gibbs Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134015357168,"sku":"9781423619291","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781423619291_p0.jpg?v=1763741937","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781423619291","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
