Synopsis
From the first green shoots of Spring to the almost microscopic rice flowers of summer, and from the sculptured rows of drying rice straw after harvest, to the snow-blanketed terraces of winter, Hymas shows us every aspect of the cycle of life. This book is a celebration of a way of life that has continued unchanged for two thousand years. In Japan, rice paddies are the source not just of food, but history, language and culture. As a photographer the authors passion for the ever-changing beauty of the rice fields is obvious, but he also takes the reader on a journey through the history and traditions of rice-growing in Japan - a culture which is now threatened by a rising tide of concrete and technology.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
