After World War II the Japanese government designated as Living National Treasures men and women who had devoted their lives to traditional Japanese crafts and performing arts. For this superlative book the authors visited six of these extraordinary artists, then blended a brief, illuminating text with color photographs, calligraphy, and illustrated sections to convey the essence of each art form.

1999Quotations: "I draw inspiration from the rites and ceremonies of ancient cultures including my native Japan. When I travel, I intentionally spend time in the communities and become familiar with the environment. I learn about and interact with the native people; I hear their stories. I learn from the artists and craftspeople. I observe their skill and their soulful connection to nature. Their ways of incorporating the signs, symbols and landscape of their cultural experience, deeply influence my way of seeing, conceptualizing and art making."
