    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    World-famous photographer Mike Yamashita's stunning visual journey through Japan?s serene and timeless landscapes

    The Nature of Japan is Michael Yamashita?s deeply personal photographic exploration of Japan, shaped by his lifelong connection to his ancestral homeland and decades as a National Geographic photographer.

    The book traces Yamashita?s journey from his first visit to Japan?sparked by a desire to understand his heritage?through years of immersion in the country?s landscapes, traditions, and spiritual philosophies.

    Through evocative images and reflections, as well as ten gorgeously calligraphed Bash? haikus and three luxurious printed vellum inserts, Yamashita reveals the intricate relationship between Japan?s people and its natural world, drawing on Shinto and Buddhist influences that celebrate the interconnectedness and impermanence of all things.

    His work goes beyond tourist clich?s, offering a sensory translation of Japan?s scenery, gardens, and daily life, informed by concepts like mono no aware, wabi-sabi, and the artistry of pattern and light.

    The book invites readers to see Japan through Yamashita?s lens?where the sacred is found in everyday details, and beauty emerges from both the fleeting and the timeless.
