Shimaguni. Atlas Narrado de Las Islas de Japon [Spanish]

By Francesca Scotti

The myth says that Japan was born by divine will from a spear plunged into the ocean: the lumps of salt that dripped from its tip as it was pulled out formed the first island. These are fragments that maintain their individuality while simultaneously forming part of a more complex whole. The journey in this atlas, which stretches from snowy Hokkaido to tropical Okinawa, is made of truth and narrative: the islands are real--history, nature, geography, culture--their exploration is narrative. Uragami Kazuhisa's evocative illustrations imbue our gaze with the immense charm of Japan.
