The slipcase contains three equally lovely, lavishly photographed volumes:Introducing JapanIntroducing KyotoIntroducing TokyoEach volume is in full color, and the authors have presented us with the many aspects of Japan that delight us: the beauty of its landscapes, with its mountains and trees carved out of nature by time and the earth's upheavals, resulting in the epic majesty of Mount Fujii and the fragile evanescent beauty of the cherry blossom. It is all there: the temples, the courtesans, bustling Tokyo and contemplative Kyoto - all captured for a moment in time - by these timeless photographs. Our authors brought foreign eyes to the task of presenting us with these wonders; they lived in Japan long enough to wander over its land and to absorb the nuance and pace of its unique culture. You will see in the text that accompanies the photographs, that familiarity is there, but also, wonder.
