About the book

One night, food writer Hannah Kirshner received an invitation to apprentice with a 'sake evangelist' in a misty Japanese mountain village. While there, she met a community of craftspeople, farmers, and foragers and learned their centuries-old traditions. This book invites readers to see what goes into making a fine bowl, a cup of tea, or a harvest of rice and introduces the masters who dedicate their lives to this work. Part travelogue, part meditation on the meaning of work, this is an ode to a place and its people, and a profound examination of what it means to sustain traditions.
