Bouvier, Nicolas: The Japanese Chronicles

A distillation of Bouvier's lifelong quest for Japan and his many travels, so that the reader discovers the country through the eyes of both a passionate young man, the sensual appreciation of a middle-aged artist, and the serenity of an experienced writer. Bouvier was an image merchant and photographer as well as a writer; this Eland edition of Japanese Chronicles is accompanied by many of his startling images of Japan.
