This is "Harmonica and Canoe," a book by Tomo Usui Noda, a leading figure in Japanese canoe touring who left behind numerous outdoor essays. It's a collection of the popular column "Let's Take It Easy" that was serialized in the magazine "BE-PAL." As he traveled the rivers of Japan and the world, Noda's thoughts, episodes with his beloved dog, and a free lifestyle of living in harmony with nature are written in his unique, unpretentious style. It's the perfect book to read by a campfire or in a tent on a camping or outdoor night. It reminds us of the importance of "taking it easy," which we tend to forget in our busy modern lives.
