Forms of Japan, designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, is organized into five chapters and includes 250 black and-white photographs by Michael Kenna taken over the course of 30 years. This collection of stunning and meditative photographs show us the coast and sea of Japan, snowy rice fields, Mount Fuji, Buddhist temples, and more.

Hot off the press, this book is ready for the bindery!

Forms of Japan is composed of quietly evocative photographs, often paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa, and others, providing 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Kenna’s traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa, and Shikoku.
