A gloriously illustrated introduction to Japan today.

Seeing Japan showcases the best of the country today with lavish, full-color photographs and lively text.

The islands of Japan form a crescent stretching from a subtropical twenty-four degrees north latitude to a subarctic forty-five degrees, the same range as from the state of Florida on the east coast of North America all the way up to Nova Scotia in Canada. Part I presents the tremendous range of landscapes and customs in the various regions of this extensive area, while Part I looks at the arts and traditions uniques to Japan that have developed over its long history. Part I gives essential background information on the country's history, language, and people.

Seeing Japan is a wonderful primer for visitors, a cherished souvenir-and indeed a must for anyone with an interest in this fascinating country.
