Just Enough is a book of stories and sketches, depictions of vanished ways of life told from the point of view of a contemporary observer. It tells how people lived in Japan some two hundred years ago during the late Edo period, when traditional technology and culture were at the peak of development, just before the country opened itself to the West and joined the ranks of the industrialized nations.
Only a few centuries earlier, the country had been on the brink of disaster, its environment pushed to the edge through overly aggressive use of natural resources. But the government and people overcame many of the identical problems that confront us today--issues of energy, water, materials, food, and population—and forged from these formidable challenges a society that was conservation-minded, waste-free, well-housed and well-fed, and economically robust, and that has bequeathed to us admirable and enduring standards of design and beauty.

レビュー

"Just Enough is valuable as a mentality, as a framework for acting in the world..." --Worldchanging.com

"Brown's elegant and accessible text with its lucid illustrations make this a wonderful companion for students and professionals in the fields of design, civil engineering, farming, construction, or Japanese history, or any person interested in leaving a more delicate footprint on the planet." --ForeWord Magazin

"Just Enough should be required reading for anyone who wants to help make today's world more sustainable. Read it, please." --Sarah Susanka, Architect and author of The Not So Big House series and The Not So Big Life

"Azby Brown's book, using excellent examples from Edo-period Japan, proves that we have surrounded ourselves with many things that we don't need to live sustainably and happily. This is an important warning for the future, one that should make us all stop and think." --Shigeru Ban, Architect, recipient of the Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture, designer of the award-winning Hanover Pavillion for Expo 2000

"Truly an eye-opener. Brown takes us behind the scenes, revealing the complex and ingenious techniques that put Japanese traditional life in harmony with nature." --Alex Kerr, Author, Dogs and Demons, Lost Japan

"Just Enough offers an interesting and engaging perspective on Edo Japan for those who enjoy reading about cultural history, alongside sustainable ideas relevant today." --Green LA Girl

"I read Brown's book with relish, and at the end of it felt that my mindset had shifted, from feeling that I never have enough, to feeling that I undoubtedly have too much." -- Macy Halford, New Yorker Online

"In my mind Azby Brown is the Rick Steves of historic time travel. Where Steves takes you to his 'Europe through the back door', Brown invites us to visit Edo period Japan with him. He addresses his readers -- that's us -- as part of his entourage." --The International Examiner

"Illustrated with his own, engaging sketches, Brown's book tells of the daily life of the farmer living in his thatched-roof farmhouse, the carpenter in his efficient one-room home, the city dweller in a townhouse tenement complex built to encourage sharing and sociability, and the samurai whose pitched-roof home is on an avenue in a leafy, out-of-town district with an uncanny resemblance to the modern suburb. The common bond is a commitment to sustainability underpinned by good and enduring design." --The San Francisco Chronicle

Simply excellent! Easy-to-read, cannot-put-down storytelling about how life was in the Edo. Definitely a good instruction as well towards sustainable lifestyle. True to its content, the book is printed with soy ink on paper which is manufactured of materials from legally and sustainably managed forests of Japan.
Not only for architects!

Excellent insight into how Japanese people lived in the Edo era.

This is a terrific book. The prose is easily digestable, even for someone who knows nothing of Japan or architecture or farming, and the illustrations are very easy on the eye. I would suggest this book to anyone with an interest in sustainability, the roots of Japanese culture, architecture or organic farming.

類書のない、まったくオリジナルなすぐれた本です。

難点をあえていえば、スケッチ下の手書き文字（handwriting)が
日本人でも、英語をある程度たしなんでいる人には難なくよみとれますが、
平均的中学生にはすこしむずかしいかもしれません。

This is an excellent pro-ecology book. It shows how Edo Japan created a sustainable society 200 years ago. The books takes us in a journey to the past to examine the daily life of farmers during Edo period.

English-language rehashing of chauvinistic ideologies of a perfect old Japan

2016年11月13日に日本でレビュー済み

I know that this book has been extremely popular with both environmentally-minded people and Japanophiles, but really it's garbage.
Look at the references. Does the author consult any pre-modern texts? No.
Indeed, the principle source for this was Ishikawa Eisuke's "Oedo Recycle Jijo," a work which has been described (quite correctly) by Princeton historian of Japan David Howell as "bizarrely chauvinistic." I'm not sure if the author really believes all this nonsense or is just trying to promote his own business in Japan, but there is little new about picking up all the lovely images of Japan you can imagine and throwing them out as if that was everything. "The city of Edo was perfect because diligent farmers happily came to cart away everyone's shit." Great for the city, sure, and good fertilizer, but is that all there is to it? Why were they forced to do such awful tasks, and to actually have to pay to do so? These questions are never asked. Peasants are portrayed as living in clean, pure, simple houses: happy, hearty, healthy. Then why were there peasant revolts all the time? Constant complaints about taxes, infanticide of more than 50% of babies? The fact is that many peasants were barely surviving because of high taxes, cuvee labor, famines, etc. How does Brown know that they were "healthy?" Where is the evidence? None is given. These questions are completely ignored in order to paint pre-modern Japan as some kind of paradise on Earth. I've seen tons of this in Japanese from right-wing demagogues. When non-Japanese do it is it especially disgusting.

Une approche globale ou comment remettre une société traditionnelle à la page et la présenter comme un exemple de société écologique ( non transposable aujourd'hui mais très instructif ).
La société japonaise de la période d'Edo semble avoir été performante dans la gestion de l'économie de moyen à tous les niveaux. A la lecture de ce livre, cette société et son mode de vie apparaît comme avoir été étonnamment vertueuse.
Ce livre fourmille de détails et de croquis.

A Winner on Several Fronts

I have long been intrigued by all oriental cultures, e.g Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, etc. James Clavell's "Shogun" is the only novel I have managed to read twice, and I love to read. Azby Brown's "Just Enough" provides a fascinating and detailed examination of ancient Japanese life. Anyone who is interested and/or appreciates the many "earth friendly" ways orientals have long harnessed the earth's resources is sure to enjoy this peek into Japan's past.

The book does much more than just take a fascinating peek into Japan's past. The author uses the ways of Japan's past as a model and example that current and future generations of denizens of the earth should emulate if they want to leave a friendly footprint on this remarkable creation we all share. I personally believe that we should be good stewards of this gift called earth that we have been blessed to know and enjoy, however I am not fully onboard with "Global Warming" hysteria the likes of the huge hypocrite, Al Gore, and others are attempting to foist on us. The author also seems to be somewhat behind the times with his use of the term "Global Warming" which has been abandoned because the data no longer supports it; for the term "Climate Change". A book could be written on this, but I'll leave it for your own honest intellectual investigation if you are interested and not already sold out one way or the other.

In-spite of my personal feelings about the "Global Warming Fraud" being foisted on us by those who are positioned to financially benefit from its widespread acceptance while telling us to do as they say but not as they do (has anyone looked at Al Gore's monthly electrical bill lately?) The ideas presented in "Just Enough" have a quaint appeal for those who do aspire to be good stewards of this gift called earth that we all share. There is much to enjoy and appreciate in this book regardless of where you fallout on the Global Warming / Climate Change debate.

The author's ideas run the gamut from the quixotic to the ingenious. Though good fiction is my favorite kind of reading when I have the luxury of time to engage my proclivity, I found "Just Enough" to be an easy and enjoyable read. Ever since the two years I spent in one of the oriental countries, I have long wanted to incorporate rice paper doors as seen on "Just Enough"s cover into my western home. "Just Enough" opened the window to many other possibilities. Sadly pragmatism usually wins the day as even evidenced in "Just Enough", i.e. Thatch roofs were very common in the rural areas of Japan, however tile roofs won the day in the city due to tiles resistance to fire. Also, those who could do better for themselves in the book did do better, i.e. samurai rode horse while walking was extolled as the most worthy means of transportation.

Japan is an interesting country since its size is roughly the size of the state of California while Japan's population is almost half that of the United States. Things that work in small areas can be hugely impractical if not impossible in large expanses. Even so, this book can set one to dreaming of better ways. Azby Brown looks at past ways, but his perspective can inspire future visionaries. Imagine high rise skyscrapers that encourage the use of stairs by, instead of making them dark, dank, and seldom used except in emergencies, having them wrap around the outer portion of the building rewarding those who use them with beautiful vistas during their whole trek. Elevators could be reserved for only the handicapped and those who can afford an exorbitant carbon tax. Al Gore wouldn't have to worry about losing any of his excessive weight by a now popular and pleasant use of the stairs. We wouldn't ban him though, if he chose to join the rest of us in a truly more earth friendly way of living. Also, the author mentioned our precious commodity of water which was for so long has been taken for granted. Though he mentioned hydroponics, he failed to mention aquaponics which use 80% less water than traditional gardening and also grow a protein source at the same time. These futuristic skyscrapers that encourage the use of the stairs, could also have whole floors dedicated to aquaponic farming providing jobs and supplying restaurants inside the skyscraper with healthy and wholesome produce year round. Finally minimizing the human footprint on our big blue marble was discussed, so imagine futuristic skyscrapers built above the forest canopy except for the necessary foundation allowing the supporting frame to climb above the highest trees instead of our current destroy everything and replace with structures city building philosophy. So, you can see "Just Enough" was hugely inspiring to me. And, it should also be inspiring to those who are tasked with the future architectural design of structures and systems for our planet.

One reviewer harped on not being able to "get past the disgusting disregard for human life these oriental societies have." (His words in quotes) The Japanese were exceptionally brutal in WWII. To this day you can find Chinese, Korean, and Pilipino people who still have no fondness for the Japanese. I personally prefer to dwell on the present and the future rather than harp on past actions that caused ill will. People can and do change. The author barely broached the topic with only one matter of fact depiction of infanticide for pragmatic reasons. Unfortunately we live in a fallen world where the most defenseless among are, e.g. babies in the womb and the just born are easy targets for those who regardless of the reasons choose to destroy their young lives, instead of a perfect world where better solutions would and should be found. With a matter of fact and pragmatic attitude it wouldn't be hard for those so maliciously inclined to someday choose other less fortunates, although older, to experience a delayed yet still early demise. I have no idea where the author's viewpoint lies on this topic. From what I can tell, he was simply reporting how things once were, and not advocating the methods.

The author is a visionary even though this book is a look at the past, it is well worth the time for the dreamers, visionaries, designers, curious, and those simply wanting a good read among us to take the time to explore and enjoy.

I read this book on a 1st generation iPad. It has a tremendous amount of detailed sketches which all, but one rendered beautifully. So, why the 5 stars when I so ardently knocked the global warming crowd? 1). The book is beautifully done from the majority of the writing to the intermingling of the sketches. Especially for someone who likes all things oriental. I even eat my T-bones with chopsticks and a steak knife of course. 2). Even though I purchased the Kindle edition, I liked the book so much that I plan on purchasing a hardcopy for my personal library. I know, that's not too green; but sometimes exceptions need to be made. 3). Though I'm not a global warming fanatic, I do believe in good stewardship of the earth when it is balanced with reasonableness and appealing ethical practicalness. (Am I going to sell my car and start walking the ten mile trek to town? No. . . I'm not going to start aborting or subjecting my children to infanticide either.) I am very much interested in aquaponics, though I'm not currently doing any. Did I say, 80% less water! Finally). "Just Enough" can make a beautiful, conversation inspiring coffee table top book. So, this one is overall a winner in my book!

If my review inspires any of you to purchase "Just Enough", I'd be very interested in your thoughts posted in a comment even if the comment is simply a link to your own book review; whether they agree or disagree with what I've shared.
