{"product_id":"forms-of-japan-michael-kenna","title":"Forms of Japan: Michael Kenna","description":"Now available in a beautiful new edition, this book 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.\n\nA rocky coast along the Sea of Japan; an immense plain of rice fields in the snow; Mount Fuji towering over misty wooded hills; silent temples devoid of people but brimming with Buddhist deities; a Torii gate mysteriously emerging from moving clouds and water—these are a few images from this remarkable collection of photographs by Michael Kenna, whose black-and-white work is highly renowned. Forms of Japan, brilliantly designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, is organized into chapters simply titled, “Sea,” “Land,” “Trees,” “Spirit,” and “Sky.” The quietly evocative photographs, often paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa and others, 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Kenna’s traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa and Shikoku.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 3791388266\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.3791388266.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kenna, Michael|Meyer-Lohr, Yvonne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has corner edge dings and or scratches and signs of light wear.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55608008442161,"sku":"GBV.3791388266.G","price":61.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/forms-of-japan-michael-kenna","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
