Forms of Japan
Forms of Japan 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. Brilliantly designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, this volume includes quietly evocative photographs, often paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa, and others, and 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Kenna’s traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa, and Shikoku.
