Japan is a country that has captivated the hearts of travelers and armchair adventurers alike for centuries. Its ancient culture, futuristic cities, serene landscapes, and frenetic pace are all captured in this stunning photography book. From the traditional geisha and samurai to the modern pachinko parlors, Japan is a land of fascinating contrasts and enduring culture. The author spent years working to gain access to people and places within this intensely private society, and the result is an engrossing and unusual visual journey through the Land of the Rising Sun.
