Description: For three months, Veronika Spierenburg moved from Japan's south to it's north. Photography has become an obsession in Japan where only a few unspoiled spots can be found. From this, Spierenburg created an artist's book which shows the richness of textures, artifacts, traditional as well as modern architecture in an idiosyncratic mood. The photographs shed light on how Japanese culture manifests itself in its craftsmanship. The buildings of famous architects such as Kenzo Tange, Togo Murano, Tadao Ando, Kazuo Shinohara and Kisho Kurokawa are presented in the book along with folk architecture.--
