Michael Yamashita, a third-generation Japanese-American, embarked on a trip to Japan when he was only 22 to learn more about his roots and eventually began his career as a photographer. In 1989, he was assigned his first story for National Geographic on Hokkaido and since has spent thirty years creating an archive of over 150,000 photographs, documenting the length of Japan. This e-book showcases previously unpublished photographs that explore the unique relationship between a culture, its habitat, and the inevitable challenges of coexisting with nature.
