Fuji: Images of Contemporary Japan  by Jeremy at  7:53 pm EDT, Oct 25, 2003 |  
Stark, mysterious, potent, looming, seductive, beautiful, iconic Mount Fuji.  Overcommercialized, stereotypical, omnipresent, overcrowded Mount Fuji. Typically seen as a backdrop to Japanese life, Chris Steele-Perkins offers a different frame to Japan's magical mountain. Mr. Steele-Perkins captures this collision of time -- the past rushing full force into the future -- from a careful outsider's view of Japanese society.  |

Mr. Steele-Perkins captures this collision of time -- the past rushing full force into the future -- from a careful outsider's view of Japanese society. This is short and interesting. I wonder what personal non-motorized water craft consisted of in Japan before the British brought canoes from America.  |
