Michael Kenna is celebrated for his mysterious and exquisite black-and-white natural and industrial landscapes. He is expecially revered for his images of Asia, where he has traveled to some of the world's most beautiful locations. It is no wonder that among Kenna's prolific creations are numerous images of Buddha from countries such as Cambodia, China, Japan, India, Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Captured in shrines, temples, sanctuaries, private homes and museums Kenna's photographs are quiet, uncluttered and striking in the interplay of dark and light, line and shadow. Also included in the book are a selection of Kenna's Asian landscape photograps, an essay about Buddhism and words shared by the photographer. Fans of Kenna's distinctive evocative style will savor his myriad perspectives of the Buddha.
