Japanese Style

Looking for some helpful hints and tips on Japanese style, travel and food? 

Recently the gorgeously illustrated and super informative TOKYO STYLE GUIDE, written by our founder Jane Lawson, was published by Murdoch Books and released into the universe.

Since then TSG, for short, has been busy travelling back and forth to Tokyo with a bevy of Australian, New Zealand and British Tourists and a few American friends (give us a shout if we've left anyone out!) and sometime soon we'll be seeing this travel guide in at least one other language - which is a little bit exciting for us here at Zenbu Home and Zenbu Tours! 

Jane is often asked to write or chat about all things Japanese and we thought we'd share a few links here for you, our fellow Japanophile, to peruse at your leisure!

If you've recently purchased some Japanese homewares you might also like to take a peek at some of Jane's recipes below so you can cook up a Japanese feast!

 Enjoy!
