THE NAKASENDO by John Tofflemire
John Tofflemire describing his long walks along the Nakasendo Trail in the interior of Japan, in Saitama and further. Fascinating narrative of the remnants, many still in use, from the Edo and Meiji eras. Among other surprises: bricks, and the birthplace of the controversial man on our new 10,000-yen notes, Shibusawa. Beautiful slides, too.
