Japan, Light and Shadows in the land of the Rising Sun

With one eye toward the future and one looking to the past, Japan is a world of striking contrasts that translate dramatically to the medium of photography. Edgy and multidimensional, this stunning photo essay was born of several years` research by a pair of accomplished documentarians with a keen sensibility for style and social behavior. It captures the unsettling shadows and contradictions within the pageantry of the Land of the Rising Sun.
