About this book

Cozy Japan Vol. 10: Summer Festivals & Fireworks — Bold & Easy Coloring Book

Put on a happi coat, pick up a paper fan, and spend one whole summer festival day in Japan — one cozy page at a time!

This tenth volume follows a single festival day from morning to night: getting ready with fans and wooden geta sandals, a mikoshi shrine parading past the shrine gates, goldfish scooping, water yo-yo balloons and ring toss at the daytime fair, shaved ice and watermelon under the sun, bon dancing around the lantern tower at dusk — and a sky full of fireworks to finish the day. (Vol. 6 spent a night among the food stalls; this volume tells the festival day itself.)

All 100 pictures are brand new — nothing is repeated from Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, Vol. 4, Vol. 5, Vol. 6, Vol. 7, Vol. 8 or Vol. 9. Every picture is drawn with bold, thick lines and big, simple shapes — no tiny details, no stress. Even the fireworks and night scenes are drawn bright on white paper, so you can color them in any colors you love — gold, red, blue or rainbow. Perfect for beginners, kids, seniors, and anyone who colors to relax and unwind.

Learn Japanese while you color! Every picture shows its English name, its Japanese name, and how to pronounce it. By the last page you will know 100 summer-festival words — omikoshi, bon odori, kingyo sukui, kakigori, suika, hanabi and more — without even trying.

Find the tiny goldfish! One tiny goldfish keeps appearing all through the book — on the festival poster, on the mikoshi rope, in the scooping tub, on a dance fan, on the tower lantern, and sleeping in its bowl. It appears on 7 pages. Can you spot it every time?

Why this book? 100 pictures — 2.5 times the 40 pages of standard coloring books, all in one connected summer festival day Bold & easy: thick lines, large areas, friendly faces — plus small background motifs for a little extra coloring joy Japanese + English names on every page (a feature cozy coloring books usually don't have) Five chapters = one festival day in Japan: Festival Morning: Getting Ready / Mikoshi Parade & Shrine Grounds / Daytime Fair Games & Sweet Stalls / Bon Dance at Dusk / Fireworks & Goodnight Festival Color test page included — try your pens before you start
