This is a coffee table style book with lots of beautiful pictures rather than an in depth look at Japan. Yet it manages to whet my appetite for visiting this unique country.

Some of the areas that I would love to visit one day:
Traditional japanese architecture
I have always admired Japanese gardens
ceramics
calligraphy
I discovered Japanese pop music and how incredibly huge they are
I need to learn more about japanese food: sushi, sashimi, noodles, japanese whiskey
How the Japanese manage to mix up timeless traditions with cutting edge technology.
