About this book

Cozy Japan Vol. 25: Harbors, Ferries & Fishing Towns — Bold & Easy Coloring Book

Created in Japan, by a Japanese author and a Japanese publisher — spend one cozy day in a working Japanese harbor: the striped lighthouse and the quay with its coiled ropes; a big ferry with rows of round windows, a fishing boat full of baskets and a little sailboat; drying nets, fish crates on shining ice and a busy morning fish market; the sloping streets, wooden fisher houses and clock tower of the fishing town; and an evening quay with harbor lights, sleeping boats and a farewell waved from the pier. One whole harbor day, one page at a time!

This twenty-fifth volume belongs to the harbor itself. Beach books show you the sea as a holiday; here the sea is a workplace and a road — ferries arriving, nets mending, auctions calling, and boats coming home. (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. 24. 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, Japan travel lovers, ferry fans, 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 harbor words — minato, ferii, gyosen, ami, ikari, toudai and more — the very words you will meet on a real trip to a Japanese harbor town.

Find the tiny striped buoy! One tiny striped buoy — the little marker float of the harbor — keeps appearing all through the book: bobbing in a sunbeam, riding on the ferry deck, resting on the fish market floor, floating in the town fountain, bobbing in the evening waves, shining under the harbor moon, and waving on a flag above the harbor at the end. It appears on 7 pages (pages 24, 42, 61, 75, 89, 100 and 104). Can you spot it every time?
