When Pico Iyer decided to go to Kyoto and live in a monastery, he did so to learn about Zen Buddhism from the inside, to get to know Kyoto, one of the loveliest old cities in the world, and to find out something about Japanese culture today -- not the world of businessmen and production lines, but the traditional world of changing seasons and the silence of temples, of the images woven through literature, of the lunar Japan that still lives on behind the rising sun of geopolitical power. All this he did. And then he met Sachiko. Vivacious, attractive, thoroughly educated, speaking English enthusiastically if eccentrically, the wife of a Japanese "salaryman" who seldom left the office before 10 P.M., Sachiko was as conversant with tea ceremony and classical Japanese literature as with rock music, Goethe, and Vivaldi. With the lightness of touch that made Video Night in Kathmandu so captivating, Pico Iyer fashions from their relationship a marvelously ironic yet heartfelt book that is at once a portrait of cross-cultural infatuation -- and misunderstanding -- and a delightfully fresh way of seeing both the old Japan and the very new.Binding Type: Paperback

Good scent and sizable soap bar
I bought the 6-pack for everyday use and really like the fresh, clean scents — nothing overpowering.
These bars lather nicely and rinse off without leaving a greasy film.
Gentle enough to use on my face, body, and hands without irritation.
Each 5.3 oz bar lasts a good while — better than many other “gentle” soaps I’ve tried.
Packaging arrived neat and intact, perfect for gifting or sharing.
Great value for the set and the scent variety keeps shower time pleasant.

Buen producto
6 jabones en barra para hombre de muy buena calidad y bonito aroma. Yo voy a poner uno en las bolsas de recuerdo y dulces para el festejo de 21 años de mi hija . Para los chicos un jabón en barra y para las chicas una crema de manos y un espejo!

Solid Soap Set for Men
This natural men’s bar soap set has quickly become a daily favorite after a few uses. The fresh, clean scents are subtle and not overpowering, giving a nice masculine smell without lingering too strong. Bars lathers easily and feels gentle on the skin, making it great for face, body, and hands with no dryness afterward. The bars are generously sized and seem to last a long time.

Keeps the bees and bugs out of beverages
Great . I have used on several different brands of drinks and they work nice to cover your drink once opened. They don’t prevent the spills but reduce the spill !!
And the slide into your shirt or jeans pocket great!
