About the book
Diario Zen is a 12-month guided journal by Luca Daisei Hiroki, written in Italian. Each month works on a different part of life with short Zen practices, quotes from Zen masters, and space for the reader's own notes, in about three minutes a day.
The Kindle edition runs 218 pages and was published in January 2024.
A journal cover that says "daily practice"
A journal has to look like something you return to, not read once. The cover uses a cream background, a red sun with the Japanese character for Zen, a single blossoming tree, and layered blue mountains, like the first page of a notebook.
"DIARIO ZEN" is set in deep navy capitals at the top, with the promise underneath: twelve months, three minutes a day. The format is clear before the reader opens the listing.
Different from the illustrated series
Unlike the character covers in the series, Diario Zen uses a quieter landscape, because it is a tool for the reader rather than a story or a guide.
