The book is divided into seven chapters; Flowers and Plants, Birds and Animals, Time and Seasons, Day and Night Sky, Earth and Water, Life, and Colors. Each chapter has about 30 words, with each one accompanied by beautiful photography and an explanation of the word and its origin – all in Japanese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe words and phrases introduced are very lyrical—the kind used in traditional creative writing, haiku, and other poetry—and may not be known by most native Japanese speakers. However, if you are looking to refine your Japanese to a level where you can impress people at a cocktail party, or sound very articulate, then this book would certainly help you there.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSome of the photography highlights include a stunning slow-shutter-speed shot of fireflies, sunlight catching rain falling in a forest on the island of Yakushima, a cloud halo over Mount Fuji, and the many gorgeous sunset photos of beaches and the ocean.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou’d need to be a high-intermediate or advanced-level reader to be able to understand the text in this book.
