Japan newly discovered

Japan, 1966

Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

Japan has been influenced by many countries, and today alternate layers of traditional and foreign cultures appear like the rings of a tree. We see this pattern in the ageless architectural beauty of the Shinto and Buddhist shrines and temples, and the later Christian churches; in the ancient castles, palaces and homes contrasting with the modern concrete and steel skyscrapers; and in the arts and crafts - the tea ceremony, formal gardens, pottery and embroidery.
