At Fifty and Sixty, Flowers Are Buds; At Seventy and Eighty, They Are in Full Bloom

A famous Japanese saying suggests that at fifty or sixty, a person is still just a bud; it's only in the seventies and eighties that the flower truly blooms. That uplifting idea gives this book its title: 五十、六十、花なら蕾 七十、八十、花盛り.

This is a secondhand book, offered in previously owned condition. Japanese literature often returns to themes like these: aging gracefully, living with intention, and finding meaning at every stage of life.
