Japan Style is a seminal and comprehensive picture book about the aesthetics of Japan, a classic that has now been reissued with a new cover design.

The “Japanese style” is an aesthetic that everyone recognizes: a beautifully arranged flower, elegant calligraphy, or a simple rock garden. Yet it is difficult to define. In this book, Gian Carlo Calza, the internationally renowned scholar of Japanese art and culture, succeeds in doing just that. Through striking images that reveal the essence of Japanese art and culture, and his insightful texts , Japan Style examines specific achievements of Japanese art and architecture and offers an analysis of Japanese culture, its worldview, and its perspective on humanity.
