The eye-catching book, produced in the Japanese style, on uncoated fine art paper with a cardboard cover and a paper dustjacket, is brimming with photographs and illustrations, and features an abundance of information on a variety of topics— from the symbolism of bento boxes; Osaka’s street food marvels; Kyoto’s Nishiki Market; a celebration of Japanese sweets; a deep dive into dashi; and an introduction to the Ainu people.
