From world renowned photographer Michio Hoshino, and with half a million copies sold in Japan, this enduringly popular collection recounts Hoshino's experiences with the wildlife and offers his reflections of our place within it.
In this enduring classic, Michio Hoshino shares his reflections on the natural world, and our place within it.
Beautifully written, this book is a collection of Hoshino's writing published at the peak of his artistic prowess as a writer and photographer, only one year before his career was tragically cut short at the age of 43 by a fatal bear attack in the Kamchatka Peninsula.
First published in Japanese, The Traveling Tree is a literary triumph, available in English for the first time.
'Hoshino's prose sits somewhere between Henry David Thoreau's matter-of-fact observations in Walden and Annie Dillard's poetical musings in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.' Asian Review of Books
