This Japanese ink painting guide is presented by master painter; Chiura Obata; a well-known Japanese artist.Obata has traveled throughout Japan; recording with charm and insight the beauty of the country. Using the traditional brush-and-ink technique; he skillfully presents the varied aspects of Japan: a mountain landscape enveloped in mist; an intimate Japanese garden; the hustle of the busy city of Tokyo; the fleeting cherry blossoms; an ancient temple compound; a festive group of holiday sightseers. The artist captures with his deft sketches the special quality of Japan that attracts the visitor and resident alike.This is far more than a picture of Japan; it is rather a perceptive interpretation by one who knows and loves the country.

A different take on the great 1906 earthquake and fire in San FranciscoBy R. A. StineVery interesting and informative book. Unlike most books about the earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco; this one addresses the history of The City more and the people of San Francisco. Good information about how people coped with the event.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

I read it several times in my teens. I was glad to find it on Kindle. I especially enjoyed it after visiting San Francisco; connecting what is there now to what was there then.
