The Traveling Tree: Lessons from a Nomadic Life

With half a million copies sold in Japan - this international bestseller is now in English for the first time. Discover this literary classic from world-renown photographer Michio Hoshino. “Everyone is on a journey in their lives . . . And I believe that humankind too is on a journey in the flow of a larger time.” In this enduring classic, Michio Hoshino shares his reflections on the natural world, and our place within it. Beautifully written, this book is a collection of Hoshino's writing published at the peak of his artistic prowess as a writer and photographer, only one year before his career was tragically cut short at the age of 43 by a fatal bear attack in the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Traveling Tree has gained increasing popularity in the more than 20 years since Hoshino's untimely death. His work has been featured in numerous Japanese television specials and documentaries and an exhibition of his photography has travelled to cities and communities across Japan. First published in Japanese, The Traveling Tree is a literary triumph, now available in English for the first time.
