A rocky coast along the sea of Japan; an immense plain of rice fields in the snow; Mount Fuji towering over misty wooded hills; silent temples devoid of people but brimming with Buddhist deities; a Torii gate mysteriously emerging from moving clouds and waterthese are a few images from this remarkable collection of photographs by Michael Kenna  whose black-and-white work is highly renowned. Forms of Japan  brilliantly designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr  is organized 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 Kennas traditional black-and-white silver prints  the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido  Honshu  Kyushu  Okinawa  and Shikoku.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923717226549,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791381628","price":494.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783791381626.jpg?v=1794112299","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/michael-kenna-forms-of-japan-9783791381626","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
