A JAPANESE FEELING
Experiencing Japan through Photography, Poetry, and Prose
- A book by Jason Webb

Japan has always been a thought-provoking place for me. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly what I'm feeling though. Feelings of wonder are often mixed with feelings of confusion and even thoughts about life back home.

In this book, I've attempted to express through poems and prose the feelings stirred up within me by photographs of my travels across Japan through cities such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, and Hiroshima.

I wonder if my photos can stir up similar feelings in somebody who has never been to Japan, or whether they'll feel something totally different.

It may sound like a cliche, but Japan is a country of contrasts, and I've attempted to capture these contrasts in my photos and poetry. Quiet and thoughtful images of Kyoto and Hiroshima mix with fashionable and hi-tech scenes around Tokyo and Yokohama. It's hard not to feel sad when looking at the devastation caused in Hiroshima by the atomic bomb, but it's also hard not to smile when seeing the colourful and lively Japanese youth culture around the Harajuku and Akihabara areas of Tokyo.

If you're interested in Japan and Japanese culture, or even if you just enjoy nice photographs, then you'll like A JAPANESE FEELING: Experiencing Japan through Photography, Poetry, and Prose. Buy yourself a copy today and see what feelings the photos invoke in you.
