Amazing beauty and reality getting even Japanses love Japan.

I'm a japanese and a lover of photograph . I amazed the reality and beauty of the images in this book. Now many of these images are hard to find in Japan. But I think you can comprehend one of the best aspects of japanese culture and tradition.

Linda Butler's "eye" draws you into each photograph.

This book is written in a style that takes you to Japan from your own living room. Each page teaches history and/or contemporary living. The text and photography of Japan teaches a deeper understanding of their lifestyle. Linda's "eye" brings depth, meaning and a unique visual experience of Japan. You will want to read and/or study her book over and over.
