Pictorial Softcover. Paperback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition. Pictorial Stiff Wraps, Paperback. A fine, bright, clean, tight copy sans flaws. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author/photographer on the front endpaper: "TO LINDA: WISHING YOU PEACE AND HOPE David LaBella". "Part voyage of…self-discovery, part exposition on the physical and aesthetic impact of European colonialism in the West, part chronicle of Japanese history and of the evolution of Japanese illustration, 'Child of Plentiful Rain, A Personal Journey in Japanese Art' unites these apparently disparate elements in a fusion of lessons learned from history and the author's development as an artist. Using photographs to underscore the ideas discussed in its chapters, the result is a travel essay in art, a chronicle of answers found to questions that had remained unresolved." PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED. 302 pages. LF2. Signed by Author/Photographer.
