Saori Okada, Founder of Mogami Wellness, published her latest book, The Wisdom of Ancient Japan: Timeless Lessons to Live By, in November 2025 with Michael O’Mara Books.

The book brings together 60 timeless Japanese philosophies, offering readers a reflective introduction to concepts such as Ikigai, Wabi-Sabi, Kintsugi, and interconnectedness, and exploring how these ideas can be lived in modern everyday life. Each entry is paired with traditional Japanese artwork, inviting a slower, more contemplative reading experience.

Rooted in centuries-old cultural wisdom, The Wisdom of Ancient Japan reframes wellbeing not as a pursuit of constant improvement, but as a practice of presence, balance, and alignment with what already exists. Rather than prescribing rigid frameworks, the book encourages readers to return to intention, simplicity, and meaning through small, thoughtful shifts.

The publication reflects Saori’s wider work through Mogami Wellness, where Japanese philosophy and mindfulness are integrated into contemporary wellbeing, leadership, and personal development contexts.

The Wisdom of Ancient Japan is available in hardback through major UK retailers.
