Over the past 26 years, Japanese photographer and educator Yasuto Kitahara has made many trips to China to study various aspects of its art and culture. He has taken over 10,000 photographs from all 28 provinces, likely the most complete documentation of old China held in a single collection.
This lavishly illustrated work presents Kitahara's photographs and memories of a changing China, a beautiful and moving testament to a culture and history that remains enigmatic to Western audiences.
