"The Blue Colour of Japanese Summer is a collection of essays dedicated to various aspects of Japanese culture: tea ceremonies, Japanese cuisine, the art of calligraphy, rules of behaviour in various life situations (from visiting a restaurant to a bath) and the meaning of Japanese gestures, kimonos, traditions of celebrating annual festive events, the history of samurai and their role in society today, the subtleties of the art of giving and the great significance of a knot on a gift, dolls that are not played with, but only admired.

Some people may be attracted by the opportunity to look behind the scenes of a traditional Kabuki theatre or visit a calligrapher's workshop. Those who want to take part in a tea ceremony, the quintessential Japanese aesthetic and culture, should read about The Stone Behind the Sinus .

For those who want to avoid many unfortunate mistakes when visiting Japan, to understand the Japanese better and feel comfortable, some tips will probably come in handy.
