Some travel books capture the highlights of a country, the places to go and the tings to see. This book digs deeper. Japan is the collaboration of an award-winning contributor to National Geographic and a leading expert on the state of the Land of the Rising Sun. Together, the two authors open up the mystery that is Japan to many foreigners - exploring the ancient traditions, the breathtaking scenery, city life, country life, and the Japanese aesthetic.
