Harumi Kurihara is the best-known cookery writer in Japan, with a public profile similar to that of Delia Smith in the UK. Her cooking and lifestyle books and magazines and media-friendly charisma have brought her phenomenal success, based on a down-to-earth, unpretentious approach to stylish living and eating. She has made the traditional Japanese values of elegance and simplicity relevant and accessible to millions. Harumi's Yutori no kukan (A space for comfortable living) chain of shops sells her own Harumi K brand of simple and stylish household items like tableware, homewear and gardening tools.
