Almost, that is, 'for every now and then one catches one's breath, stunned by how well-preserved a place or building is, creating the impression that past and present perfectly overlap.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch in Japan has been lost, either as the result of devastating earthquakes, the ravages of war, ill-advised government policies, or the simple progress of time. Much, too, has been saved, both on purpose and by happenstance. Little, however, has not changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the extent of that change by juxtaposing photographs from late 19th-century Japan to those of today and tracing the history of that change in insightful and dispassionate texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William De Lange\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9492722445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789492722447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Toyo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.75h x 8.25w x 0.47d","brand":"William De Lange","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217181495551,"sku":"9789492722447","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25f830ce-8ae1-49cb-ba37-b60bad8ad92b.jpg?v=1728514500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/japan-then-now-william-de-lange-9789492722447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
