The little book of Japan

About this book

Inside front flap: "The little book of Japan is a celebration in words and images of the many exquisite facets that make up this truly amazing nation. A series of 44 essays are organized into four chapters exploring cultural icons, traditions, places, and spiritual life. Each essay results from the author's quarter century of observation of Japan's history, culture and people, and is superbly illustrated with stunning photographs by Gorazd Villhar, one of Japan's leading photographers. Small enough to carry in one's pocket, this book will delight Japanophiles and anyone else with an interest in the culture, art and beliefs of this unique island nation."
