I checked this book out on a whim, and absolutely fell in love! The author's concepts of what makes for a perfect Tokyo lifestyle fits in quite nicely with so many of my interests. While there are many things in the book I will probably not do (go on a picnic, host a dinner party, etc), I just loved Ebony's enthusiasm and creative outlook on life. I was also thrilled with the sections on gift giving and correspondence, since I love to write letters to a small group of pen pals. I'm really excite

Oy.
Hello Tokyo: 30+ Handmade Projects and Fun Ideas for a Cute, Tokyo-Inspired Lifestyle
, by American transplant to Japan Ebony Bizys, is yet another one of those ill-conceived books that are basically a bunch of the author's random blog entries over the years, collected up into an editor's best guess at categories and calling them chapters, with the whole thing having no flow, coherence, or in this case useful or interesting information. The Japanese "lifestyle" and tourist information is

I had high hopes for this book. The author is an Australian woman who moved to Japan, and she seems to have a love for drafts and cute things. She even introduced me to a great new word: crafternoon. I thought I was going to get creative inspiration and a glimpse at life in Japan from an outsider perspective. I like those kind of books, because the author often noticed differences a native writer takes for granted. (I remember a friend in Spain asking me what I missed most while studying abroad.

I adored this book!! I have family whom are missionaries in Japan. They have lived there for the majority of their life and have picked up Japanese customs and cultural traditions. Now, I can recognize and understand some of these customs after reading this book! The photographs and entire cohesive theme of the book was gorgeous. It really displays Japan in such a unique, beautiful light. It makes me want to go explore and learn more about Tokyo. This definitely isn't a boring, how-to craft book

Cute ideas and I loved learning some Japanese words/concepts. Such as the ‘rule of 5’ for bento boxes, color & flavor, etc. and osusowake, the sharing of inexpensive items with friends. Read on an iPad, and screen shot the ideas that appealed to me.
Some cute things but, disappointingly, not really for me. I found that there was a lot more biographical information and blather as opposed to actual instructions for crafty things, which was what I was after.
The lazy crafters book! Chock full of cute projects without the huge investment of time. Adding colour and a dash of whimsy to your life has never seemed more doable.
This was a cute book with cute crafty ideas!
Super cute crafts!
Mostly for people who enjoy paper crafts.
This title is less of a craft book and more of a “stuff you can buy” to look cute book. It’s not well organized and sort of a hodgepodge of style suggestions.
Quirky book geared toward pre-teen and teens.
More of a reference book.
This is a combination travelogue about life in Tokyo with craft and home design projects. The projects are bright, colorful and inspiring. The projects are stylish and easy to complete.
Not really interested in the crafts, but the photos are so beautiful.
Simple, clean, colorful, everything you could dream. It is like an Ikea store walkthrough, in envying everything you see and want to take home! Tons of inspiration, without overwhelming you!
Super cute projects that are accessible for any crafting level. Even talks about where to find additional ideas and supplies. Will definitely need to check out again for resource ideas!
