His wide smile, however, hid a painful past. The book begins with Kodos childhood in Japan, playing dress up as Little Mermaid, and his lonely adolescence when, although born into a family of priests, all he wanted to do was wear pretty dresses and become a princess. Growing up as an outsider in a society that celebrates uniformity, Kodos time in New York at the Parsons School of Design and his work as a leading makeup artist finally brought him to embrace his own uniqueness. The book is full of practical tips for positive thinking and insights into the philosophical approach to life Kodo has crafted as a Buddhist monk. Detailing his journey to self-love, the book provides a gentle, loving, and encouraging voice for all those who dare to be different.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the English translation of Seisei Dodo, published in Japan in 2020 by Sunmark Publishing, Inc., Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 510g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 139 x 193 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781786786173\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 New edition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kodo Nishimura","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105919725818,"sku":"9781786786173","price":10.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646318932332_book.jpg?v=1646945997","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/this-monk-wears-heels-be-who-you-are-9781786786173","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
