A stunning photography book that offers a gorgeous visual journey through Japan - a land of striking contrasts, mysteries, myths, and misconceptions Whether you're a seasoned globetrotter planning your next trip, a curious armchair traveller dreaming up a future destination, or just a lover of all things Japanese, this photographic journey will fulfill your fantasies and spark new desires. The beauty and complexity of Japan's ancient culture, futuristic cities, serene landscapes, and frenetic pace are captured in this book of stunning photography. Here tradition and modernity, precision and wabi sabi, geishas and samurai, tea ceremonies and pachinko parlours mix and commingle, a true representation of this land of fascinating contrasts and enduring culture. The lush, full-colour images are organized into six broad themes - Metropolis, Nature, Costume, Sacred, Ritual, and Aesthetics - each featuring locations and points of view that are often inaccessible to outsiders. Insightful essays add depth and perspective from longtime expats who now call the country home. The result is an engrossing unusual visual journey through the Land of the Rising Sun that will linger in the reader's memory long after the book's cover is closed.
