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. The lush, full-color 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, making this book a must-have addition for the libraries of Japanophiles and world travelers as well as photographers, art buffs, and the culturally curious. Whether you're planning your next trip or simply dreaming up a future destination, this book will fulfill your fantasies and spark new desires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4046g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 296 x 379 x 42 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780764364983\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hans Sautter","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097351516410,"sku":"9780764364983","price":68.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1674822777610_book.jpg?v=1675331901","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/japan-9780764364983","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
