Item Description

In this book, 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?

Japan: A Reverence for Beauty, with text in English and Japanese, will immerse the reader in the daily life of this country where sublime beauty both new and ancient can be found in the most common locations. 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.

This is a Limited Edition Folio, which has been printed on richly textured paper and hand sewn into a limited edition. This book will become a favorite on the art lover’s bookshelf. Only 1,000 editions exist, and this Special Edition is one of just 100, which has been placed into an elegant clamshell and comes with a signed, limited edition photograph as a bonus for the true collector.
