Forms of Japan, brilliantly designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, is organised into chapters simply titled, \"Sea,\" \"Land,\" \"Trees,\" \"Spirit,\" and \"Sky.\" The quietly evocative photographs, often paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa and others, provide a contemplative portrait of a country better-known for its energy and industry. Gorgeously reproduced to convey the enormous subtleties that exist in Michael Kenna's traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa and Shikoku.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Kenna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58143174230398,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/michael-kenna-forms-of-japan.heic?v=1790941434","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/products\/forms-of-japan","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
