Add to basketNeuware -Das 'Goldene Zeitalter des Reisens' deckt sich ziemlich genau mit der Herrschaft Kaiser Meijis, die 1868 mit dem Sturz der alten feudalen Ordnung begann, die Japan mehr als 200 Jahre lang von der Außenwelt abgeschottet hatte. In den folgenden viereinhalb Jahrzehnten entwickelte Japan sich zu einem attraktiven und weniger fernen Ziel für Reisende aus aller Welt und zu einem beliebten Motiv für japanische und ausländische Fotografen.Dieser Band enthält auf 536 Seiten mehr als 700 Vintage-Fotografien von Japan aus dieser Zeit, Expertentexte zu früher japanischer Fotografie und thematische Abhandlungen, die sich so unterschiedlichen Traditionen wie Tee, Seide und Buddhismus widmen, sowie ausgedehnte Routen, die den Leser durch fünf Regionen dieses faszinierenden Landes leiten.Die Reisen führen uns von den bezaubernden Ansichten Nagasakis zum 'schwimmenden' Schrein auf der Insel Miyajima, einer der schönsten Gegenden Japans; von den verwinkelten Straßen Kobes zum lebhaften Treiben in der Innnenstadt Osakas; von der Fülle historischer Sehenswürdigkeiten in den traditionsreichen Städten Kyoto und Nara zum Shopping und käuflichen Sex auf den Straßen der Hafenstadt Yokohama; von der zeitlosen Schönheit des Fuji und der Berglandschaft des nahen Hakone zur urbanen Vielfalt Tokios, in der die alten Edo-Traditionen neben der aufkommenden Moderne stehen; und schließlich von der juwelengleichen Architektur von Nikk¿ umgeben von Wäldern und Wasserfällen zur inselreichen Bucht von Matsushima. Die Reise endet in den abgelegenen Wildnisregionen in Hokkaido, Heimat der einheimischen Ainu. 536 pp. Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch.

The Golden Age of Travel neatly overlaps with the reign of the Emperor Meiji, which began in 1868 with the overthrow of a feudal order that had kept Japan secluded from the outside world for more than 200 years. In the ensuing four-and-a-half decades, Japan became a less remote and more attractive destination for the international traveler and a popular subject for photographers, both Japanese and foreign.
In 536 pages, this book presents more than 700 vintage images of Japan, texts by a specialist in early Japanese photography, and extensive commentary through thematic sections exploring traditions as varied as tea, silk and Buddhism, as well as itineraries across five regions, all of which guide the reader through this captivating land.
Our travels take us from the enchanting vistas of Nagasaki to the seagirt shrine of Miyajima, long esteemed among the "Three Views" considered the most beautiful in Japan; from the rambling streets of Kobe to the energetic bustle of Osaka; from the cornucopia of historic sights in the ancient cities of Kyoto and Nara to the twin delights of shopping and sex in the vibrant modern port of Yokohama; from the timeless beauty of Mount Fuji and the mountainside scenery of nearby Hakone to the urban melange of Japan’s modern capital, where the traditions of Edo and the modernity of Tokyo co-existed; and, finally, from the jewel-like architecture of Nikkō set amidst forests and waterfalls to the islet-studded bay of Matsushima, until our journey ends in the remote wilds of Hokkaido, home to the indigenous Ainu.
