"As a longtime fan of Yumiko's and a loyal customer of Fog Linen
Work, I am thrilled for this book. These pages synthesize the
minimal, beautiful, and gentle philosophy that drew me to her work
to begin with. At a time when the world feels chaotic, Yumiko's
Japanese rituals and ideas bring calmness and purpose."-Aran
Goyoaga, author of Cannelle et Vanille
"Sekine's approach to repurposing old objects-which she applies to
linens and broken dishes-are great for the green-minded. Perfect
for fans of Marie Kondo, these tips will delight readers with a
less-is-more mindset." - Publishers Weekly
"We're grateful to Yumiko Sekine of Fog Linen for introducing us to
a new world of quietly beautiful household and clothing essentials
from Japan. At Remodelista, we've all incorporated her subtle,
refined, unshowy, and eminently useful pieces into our everyday
lives. Now, in Simplicity at Home, we get a further glimpse into
her design philosophy and her devotion to sustainability and slow
living-plus a first look at her enchanting new Tokyo home."-Julie
Carlson, Editor-in-Chief, Remodelista
"Yumiko has been a part of my home for the better part of a
decade-and it's more than just her Fog Linen Work towels, aprons,
and napkins. It's her sensibility, captured beautifully in this
book. Simplicity at Home embodies the idea that a pared down life
of intention leaves space for all sorts of moments, magic, and
rituals to be explored."-Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural
Cooking
"It is a lovely tribute to what its author describes as 'joyful
minimalism'." - Food52
