The Sensei's Garden · Last updated August 2026
The Japanese Home Manual — a digital book of 110 pages in PDF format, delivered by email. It is not a printed book and nothing is posted to you. You may print it yourself; it was laid out with that in mind.
The purchase is processed by Gumroad, Inc., who act as the seller of record. They take the payment, account for any tax due in your country, and deliver the file. Their terms apply to the transaction itself: gumroad.com/terms.
The manual is sent to the email address given at checkout, normally within a minute of payment. If it has not arrived within an hour, check your spam folder and then write to us — we will send it directly.
If the manual is not what you hoped for, write and we will return your money. No forms, no argument, and that offer does not expire.
Because the book is delivered immediately, you are asked at checkout to agree that delivery begins at once and that the statutory fourteen-day withdrawal period therefore does not apply. The promise above is offered voluntarily and independently of that.
The manual is licensed for your personal use. Read it on as many of your own devices as you like, keep a backup, and print it — including the summary pages meant to be pinned inside a cupboard door.
Please do not redistribute it, upload it, or sell it on. If someone has sent you a copy and you found it useful, the manual is available directly from us.
Short quotations in reviews, articles and videos are welcome and need no permission.
Buyers receive every future edition at no further cost, sent to the address used at purchase. Nothing to renew and nothing to claim.
This is general household advice, not professional advice. Savings are given as ranges because no two houses are alike.
Work involving house wiring, gas, structural changes, or the home canning of low-acid foods must follow the guidance named in the relevant chapter, or be done by a qualified person. Those cautions are short, and they are there for a reason.
The Sensei is the narrator of this manual and of the videos it comes from — a character, in the way the storyteller in an old household book is a character. The methods are real practices, and where a claim is disputed the book says so.
