Japanism Book

We love Japanese books, especially ones that document the special days in the life of the Japanese.

In this book, a photographer based in Germany walks through Japan’s 47 prefectures taking pictures to capture the beauty of Japan. Enjoy “traditional Japan,” including scenic Mt. Fuji, shrines and temples, cherry blossoms, and snow scenes, and “contemporary, everyday Japan,” with its futuristic night views and the glimmering neon lights of bustling downtown areas.

The dynamic compositions and captivating colour schemes that the photographer creates make the scenes feel like something from another world, even though they are real places. This makes for a great coffee table book or just a book to remind you of the beauty of Japan!
