Cozy Japan Vol. 18

About this book

Cozy Japan Vol. 18: Homes, Rooms & Cozy Corners — Bold & Easy Coloring Book

Created in Japan, by a Japanese author and a Japanese publisher — come home to one cozy day inside a Japanese house: shoes off at the genkan entrance, a long slow rest in the living room around the kotatsu, dinner getting ready in the kitchen, a warm bath and a soft futon at night, and goodnight from the veranda and the windows. One whole cozy home, one page at a time!

This eighteenth volume spends a single day at home: genkan entrances, shoe cabinets and umbrella stands; sofas, wall clocks and kotatsu corners; kitchen sinks, cupboards and dining tables; bath tubs, wash stands and towel rails; futons, alarm clocks, engawa boards and veranda plants — and the little house itself, saying goodnight under the moon. (Earlier volumes visited homes and kitchens only for a few pages at a time, and Vol. 16 stayed in shops and cafes; this volume lives inside the home all day long. Unlike heavy, detailed adult coloring books, every page here is bold and easy.)

All 100 pictures are brand new — nothing is repeated from Vol. 1 through Vol. 17. Every picture is drawn with bold, thick lines and big, simple shapes — no tiny details, no stress. Even the evening and night scenes are drawn bright on white paper, so you can color them in any colors you love. 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 home and room words — genkan, surippa, kotatsu, futon, engawa, senmenjo and more — without even trying.

Find the tiny slipper! One tiny slipper keeps appearing all through the book — smiling at the entrance, resting on the living room rug, smiling by the kitchen door, waiting outside the bath door, smiling by the bedroom futon, sitting on the engawa boards, and saying goodnight under the moon. It appears on 7 pages (pages 24, 44, 64, 76, 84, 101 and 104). 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 cozy day at home 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 day in one cozy home: Genkan & Welcome Home / Living Room & Kotatsu Corners / Kitchen & Dining Corners / Bath, Bedrooms & Getting Ready / Veranda, Windows & Goodnight Home Color test page included — try your pens before you start Made in Japan: written and published in Japan by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC, author Aki Wakamatsu
