This compact travel guide and pictorial is the #1 selling travel
book in Japan. Packed with cultural and historical information
along with charming photographs take a trip to Japan to always
remember. Japan is a country shrouded in mystery, even now in the
21st century. The myriad facets that, when put together, compose
the whole of this nation are impossible to capture fully. But in
The Little Book of Japan, the dynamic photographer-writer team of
Gorazd Vilhar and Charlotte Anderson do an admirable job of
creating a celebration in words and images that encapsulates what
makes this country so extraordinary. Small and easily portable,
this Japan travel guide is organized in a series of 44 essays with
photographs contained within four chapters: Cultural Icons,
Traditions, Places, and Spiritual Life. Under these four
overarching ideals, Vilhar and Anderson explore a wide range of
topics from Japanese cultural icons and traditions to Japan's
spiritual life to its unique cities and villages. Broad enough to
satisfy anyone with interest in the culture, art, and beliefs of
this unique island nation, yet comprehensive enough for the true
Japanophile, The Little Book of Japan is a stunning collection of
photographs and thoughtful essays. With everything from Cherry
Blossoms to Sushi, Calligraphy to Kimonos, Old Tokyo to Hiroshima,
to intimate details of Buddhism and Pilgrimages, this book is a
beautiful and enjoyable way to learn more about the fascinating
island nation of Japan.
