'Armed with urawaza like these, you'll never need a store-bought fix again.'ReadyMade magazine
Kurzbeschreibung
Japan has a way of thinking that is just . . . different. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Tokyo-born journalist Lisa Katayama's collection of urawaza (a Japanese word for secret lifestyle tricks and techniques). Want to turbocharge your sled? Spray the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Can't find someone to water your plants while you're away? Place the plant on a water-soaked diaper, so it slowly absorbs water over time. The subject of popular TV shows and numerous books in Japan, these unusually clever solutions to everyday problems have never before been published in English until now! Urawaza collects more than 100 once-secret tricks, offering step-by-step directions and explanations in an eye-catching package as unconventional as its contents.

Urawaza, meaning the "secret trick" - contains a bit over 100 tips and tricks that can help to make your life a little bit easier and more fun. The cool part is that you'll also know why the trick works. You'll find some tricks more useful and practical than others. Here are few examples from the book:
* You can restore a flavor to coffee that's been sitting around for a while and has started to taste bitter, by adding a little bit of salt to it. Salt reduces bitterness allowing the coffee bean flavor to prevail.
* To remove coffee or tea stains from a mug, sprinkle some salt on the inside of a lemon or orange peel and use it to rub the mug. The oils in the lemon and orange peel are ideal stain removers, and salt acts as a natural abrasive.
* if you need to pick up tiny pieces of broken glass, put few slices of bread over the danger zone. The tiny fragments of glass will wedge between the holes in the bread, leaving the floor shard free.

Sie fahren auf einen Parkplatz und stellen Ihr Auto ab. Sie steigen aus und gehen weg. Als Sie sich schon etwas weiter von Ihrem Auto entfernt haben fällt Ihnen ein, dass Sie vergessen haben das Auto abzuschließen. Gott sei dank gibt es diese Fernbedienung auf Ihrem Autoschlüssel, doch ... Sie sind schon zu weit entfernt und es funktioniert nicht. Was tun nun?
In diesem Buch finden sie ein Möglichkeit die Reichweite Ihres Funkschlüssels zu erweitern und das ganz einfach.
Was verrät Ihnen dieses Buch noch?
- Wie man ein Baby dazu bringt nicht mehr zu schreien.
- Wie man eine ausgefranste Zahnbürste erneuert.

Ancient Japanese secret, huh?
11. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Everyone knows how to cure the hic-ups, or to get wine stains out of white clothing right? There are all sorts of little household tricks and tips handed down via word of mouth, or from a helpful friend or parent in a time of need. The Japanese term for these is "urawaza", a word with a sly feel to it meaning a little secret that only you know about, something you discovered about a product that the producers didn't intend for you to know. Its main use is with videogames, referring to cheat codes left in by programmers who never intended them to become public knowledge.
This book is full of urawaza's, little "cheat codes" for common household objects like potatoes and old sales receipts, things that would normally never be used for more than their intended purposes. For example, magically clearing up a stuffy nose by shoving the white root section of a scallion in your nostrils, or rubbing a little egg white on your glasses to prevent them from fogging. Each tip is accompanied by a short explanation of why the process works, showing the molecules and process involved that accompany the magic.
The strange thing is, the tips actually work. I haven't tried all of them, but the ones I have given a shot work just as advertised. You might feel a bit strange at first rubbing a cut potato across your bathroom mirrors to make them fog-free, but you can't argue with the results. Want to know how to keep your bathwater from going cold using only orange peels, or how to make your dull hair glossy? "Urawaza" has what you need.
The only disappointment with this book is the lack of any real Japanese connection, aside from the title. There are a few little asides at the start of each chapter talking about the author's personal history or a few cultural notes, but that is about it. There was a good opportunity to include some Japanese vocabulary for each entry, just a few words here and there relating to the subject, and make this a language-learner along with its helpful and fun tips. Unfortunately they didn't go that route, but if you aren't studying Japanese and just want a cool and useful little book, then that isn't really an issue.

Clever, useful and fun tricks
2. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Urawaza contains dozens of cool tricks, everyday inspirations and ways to impress your friends and family by cleverly doing things better.
I have tried several of the tips. My faves are using a piece of bread to pick up glass (pg. 70)--works like a charm! This weekend I made potato salad and used the super-cool egg-peeling technique (p. 96) and impressed my BBQ guests!
Urawaza is a fun guide that appeals to that part within us all that likes to simultaneously be clever & practical. The book also couples simple scientific explanations that help us understand more about our environment through. It will be a hit with Japanese culture fans, DIY enthusiasts, those who appreciate Everyman wisdom and especially young folks who enjoy exploring our world in new ways.

Fun Tips for Better Living
3. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is like a fun version of Hints from Heloise...little tricks that you're surprised work, that make your every day life a little smoother. I like skimming the book, and I've gotten some good ideas from it already. Another nice thing is the explanation of why each tip works...I picked up some lite science while reading. That said, the book is a little layout heavy, with only one tip per page. If it was more packed, I think I would've given it 5 stars. Even so, it's a fun book to have around when you just wanna thumb through.
