Andri Pol / Books
Where is Japan
Fascinated and irritated at the same time, Pol casts a sharp eye on the reality of Japan beyond European projections of the Far East. Even though he can’t completely avoid the cherry blossom and the tea rites, he encounters human beings who have learned to live between yesterday and tomorrow.
