Reviews
"It's hard to put your finger on why it's so soothing to page through HANDMADE IN JAPAN (...). The Tokyo-based photographer Irwin Wong captures intimate moments of creation that satisfy the reader's cravings for travel, escape and tactile design." -- THE NEW YORK TIMES, "an informative journey across Japan, rather than an encyclopedic volume of crafts." -- THE JAPAN TIMES, "Taking us through the regions and highlighting the handicrafts associated with them (...) we get an insight into one of travel's great cultural experiences." -- WANDERLUST
