Overview

The Japanese Way of SeeingDiscover how Japanese aesthetics shape the way we see, feel, and create. Illustrated with twenty original photographs by Laurent Barrera, this small book offers a visual and sensory journey that extends the reflection and invites renewed contemplation. Drawing on more than ten trips to Japan, and deeply influenced by observation, traditional arts, and the spirit of place, Laurent Barrera-lecturer and author of ""Fragrances of Japan""-explores how the major currents of Japanese aesthetic sensibility transform our relationship to the world. Wabi-sabi, Zen, Mono no aware, Shinto: these ancestral notions reveal another way of perceiving reality and, when applied to photography, open up new creative paths. A book for photographers, artists, lovers of Japan, and for all those who wish to rediscover a way of seeing that is attentive and fully present.
