Description
Japan is a country where the futuristic and zany coexist with the rooted and the venerable, and there's often a festival going on. In "Uniquely Japan", Abby Denson presents a visual journey through the country's distinctive popular and traditional culture, using her own personal drawings and photos to highlight the things that make Japan stand out. From the quirky to the traditional, Japan's culture is full of surprises. You'll discover vending machines for everything from eggs to electronics, tiny alleyways with unexpected surprises, and whimsical architecture for neighborhood police stations. The book also explores Japan's love of food, from noodles and bento boxes to gorgeous sweets, and its unique customs, such as stamps for your name. This book offers a fun opportunity for armchair travel and a reminder to keep your eyes wide open when you do get to visit Japan in person. With its unique blend of the familiar and the bizarre, "Uniquely Japan" is a fascinating glimpse into a country that's full of endless surprises.
