Stunning images make up this collection of photographs revolving around sets of colours in Japanese life. Each page is one photo with explanations offered in the final pages. Green seaweed on white rice...black clogs on white flooring...foamy green tea on golden bamboo...Faye Dunaway in Miyake-designed culottes...the images stay with you long after you finish the book.
