Issue 8 (April 2007, Volume 2, Number 2)
In this colourful spring issue our main theme is photographic books about Japan and we review an excellent selection of new books on the topic. We can only present a very limited number of photographs from these books in the following pages, but if you visit our website you will find a host visual gems.
As usual, we also have some great reviews of new historical works plus exciting general interest books. The featured Japanese courtyard gardens book also boasts an array of impressive on-line photographs.
Finally, don't forget that our printed edition only represents a fraction of our new reviews, all of which can be found on the website along with movie and stage reviews.
