With over 130 stunning color photographs and a wonderfully-written text, 'Japan: An Invitation' introduces readers to one of the world's most unique countries.
The photographs explore the dramatic contrasts of Japanese culture-from the quiet of a neighborhood shop to the frenzy of a crowded festival; from the ornate look of an ancient shrine to the simplicity of a terraced field; from the energy of judo to the repose of Noh; from schoolboys in baseball uniforms to kimono-clad geisha.
The text offers an intriguing overview of Japan's history and culture-ranging from the history of Tokyo and the former capitals of Kyoto and Nara to the importance of Buddhism, Shinto, language, and landscape. Together, the text and photographs provide a vivid, memorable look at one of the world's most fascinating countries.
