JAPAN 365 is the Essential art book of Japan. An excellent hand-drawn retrospective and an amazing feat of sustained creativity. Entirely bilingual in English and Japanese!
Artist and English teacher J Muzacz set out on a journey with nothing more than some sketchbooks and ball pens. A test of artistic endurance, J drew an A4 (8.5in. x 11in.) masterpiece of Japan everyday of 2011 while living, working and traveling there-"A Drawing-A-Day Project," for 365 days.
Delving into history books for classic traditional imagery and embarking on broken bilingual conversations with locals about hidden shrines, temples, festivals, kofun (burial mounds), caves, rice harvest, strange food, fashion and more, J has unearthed some real gems that many Japanese people don't even know.
Japan 365 is a must-have for aspiring artists, Japanophiles, fans of Asian art, history and culture, anyone interested in Japan or simply in need of some creative inspiration.
