Description
- Hand-bound, signed by the photographer, and numbered, this is a truly special art book with text in both English and Japanese.
- Mr. Garcetti will personalize an inscription for each book purchased.
- Over 15 trips to Japan, Gil Garceetti explored the concept of beauty as revealed in this limited edition folio of lush color photographs.
- Gil Garcetti's lush photographs, accompanied by thought-provoking essays from experts in Japanese artistic disciplines, address a unique quality of Japanese culture: the appreciation of and need for beauty-both man-made and natural-in virtually every aspect of life.
- For years Garcetti has been enthralled and puzzled by the reverence the Japanese people have for everyday beauty.
- What makes the Japanese people unique in their need for beauty? What can Westerners learn from this ancient culture and history?
- How can a better understanding of the role beauty plays in the daily life of the Japanese enhance our own lives?
- This book is a stunning tribute to the Japanese quest for beauty and an invitation to join Garcetti in a meaningful dialogue, if not final answers.
