Furusato

Home is not where you are. It is what shaped your soul.

Furusato is not just where you grew up. It is the landscape written into your cells - the place that explains you to yourself. The Japanese word Furusato (ふるさと) carries within it an entire philosophy of belonging: the idea that we are all shaped by a place, and that finding - or creating - that sense of home is one of the deepest needs of the human soul.

Whether you are far from where you grew up, grieving a home that no longer exists, or searching for a place you have never yet found - this book is for you.

Inside, you will explore:

• How the places you grew up are still alive inside you - shaping you right now
• How to grieve a home that has changed, or one you can never return to
• The practices of rootedness - how to plant yourself fully wherever you are
• Why some people feel like home - and how to find those people
• How to become a place of belonging for others - to be someone's Furusato

You have always had a home. It lives inside you. Furusato will help you find your way back to it.
