Over the past 26 years, Japanese photographer and educator Yasuto Kitahara has made almost-innumerable trips to China to study various aspects of Chinese art and culture. During these travels, he has taken over 10,000 photographs from all 28 provinces of China, likely the most complete documentation of old China held in a single collection. This book presents Kitahara's photographs and memories of a changing China, a beautiful and moving testament to a culture and history that remains enigmatic to Western audiences
