World Heritage Japan

Author and photographer John Lander takes the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage sites of Japan as a starting point for exploring the country's architecture, history, customer and festivals. Lander, who has lived in Japan for 35 years, travelled to almost all the country's UNESCO sites: from well-known places like Mount Fuji to hidden temple gardens and hard-to-reach wild islands. This book also includes cultural elements listed as intangible world heritage, providing intimate portraits of Japanese cuisine, crafts and performance arts. With a lyrical introduction to Pico Iyer and illustrated with over 180 full-colour photographs, "World Heritage Japan" is Lander's personal photographic tribute to a diverse and ancient culture – a stunning visual journey across Japan.
