This book is the result of several trips to japan over the last four years. It's an amazing country for a number of reasons, not least its great food, incredible hospitality, natural beauty, history and culture. All of which go to making Japan a great place to visit. A good few of the shots in this book were taken during a recent trip in the autumn of last year (2008) while teaching a bunch of like-minded photo mad students from Sydney University's Centre for Continuing Education.
