Title: Forms of Japan Michael Kenna
Author: KENNA MICHAEL

Now available in a beautiful new edition, this book presents a meditative, arresting and dazzling collection of 240 black-and-white images of Japan, made over almost 30 years by the internationally renowned photographer Michael Kenna.

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& water--these 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 Kenna's traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book& include both well-known and previously unpublished images& from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu,& Kyushu, Okinawa& and Shikoku.
