Gorgeously reproduced to convey the enormous subtleties that exist in Michael Kenna's traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa and Shikoku.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Kenna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3791388266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783791388267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prestel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.17h x 11.54w x 1.33d","brand":"Michael Kenna","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994658472191,"sku":"9783791388267","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8d4e162-6b13-4798-9936-47806f20c8f1.jpg?v=1683331437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/michael-kenna-michael-kenna-9783791388267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
