Summary
Moving away from familiar cityscapes and clichés, this book drifts through Japan’s smaller towns and rural regions. It follows the rhythm of seasons, local festivals, workshops, and homes shaped by everyday life. Photography and text observe rather than explain. What emerges is an open portrait of rural Japan—an ongoing approach to places in transition, marked by daily routines, quiet creativity, and enduring persistence.

Critics Review
“a sumptuous new book by photographer Irwin Wong and writer Rob Goss, whose journey across the country takes readers beyond the bright lights of the cities and the bucket-list stops of travel itineraries, to discover the people, places and traditions that define a less familiar side of this storied country.”– “The Telegraph”
