'Bloom Again: Stylish Shukatsu®' Released on May 25th!

Seluba Publishing (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tada-jun Mori) released the book 'Bloom Again: Stylish Shukatsu (End-of-life Planning) for Those Over 45' on May 25, 2026.

For women who have settled down from child-rearing or work and feel a desire to 'live the rest of their lives more authentically.'

'Stylish Shukatsu®' is not about the typical preparation for the end of life. It is a new approach to taking stock of one's life—going beyond mere inheritance and grave planning—by 'decluttering the mind, physical possessions, and information' to re-evaluate one's values and future, and to organize 'how I want to live from now on.'

Many feel vague anxieties but don't know where to start or how to organize the latter half of their lives. For those who find traditional 'Shukatsu' feel heavy and unappealing, this book offers a compassionate guide.

Through workshops on organizing memories, managing time, reviewing relationships, creating future timelines, and making 'Lists of 100,' the book helps readers gradually discover what they truly want in life and what they want to cherish.

By letting go of limiting beliefs like 'I'm too old' or 'It's too late to change,' readers can rediscover the things they once loved and longed for. Beyond just tidying up a house, a major theme of this book is regaining the sense of 'cherishing oneself.'

Filled with the author's personal experiences and real-life examples of women who transformed their second acts, this book gently nudges those who want to 'bloom again' to live more lightly and authentically in the era of the 100-year life.
