From 2017 to 2018, Julien Giry and Aurélie Roperch crisscrossed Japan, from the ice floes of Hokkaido to the tropical archipelago of Okinawa, discovering its one hundred most emblematic views. Compiled by the Japanese themselves, this list includes natural (Mount Fuji) and urban (Tokyo neighborhoods) landscapes, historical and contemporary sites, festivals, astonishing phenomena (the whirlpools of the Naruto Strait), pilgrimage routes (the 88 temples of Shikoku), and even museums and amusement parks. In doing so, it constitutes a fabulous portrait of contemporary Japan, revealing in successive touches all the richness and diversity of the Land of the Rising Sun. Far from clichés, One Hundred Views of Japan offers a lively, sincere, and colorful fresco, combining practical information and keys to understanding daily or traditional life.
