Written and illustrated by the Chinese-born artist and poet, this volume chronicles his wanderings across Japan's landscapes, cities, and cultural heartlands, presenting his encounters with Japanese art, nature, and daily life through both eloquent prose and his own exquisite brushwork paintings. Yee's perspective as a Chinese scholar immersed in a neighbouring yet distinctly different civilisation gives the narrative a rare and penetrating quality, uncovering the subtle harmonies and contrasts between East Asian cultures with quiet grace.\n\nPart travel memoir, part visual art collection, and part philosophical meditation, this work is the product of Yee's celebrated Silent Traveller series — a body of work that established him as a unique and irreplaceable voice in 20th-century travel literature. His signature style, blending classical Chinese artistic tradition with Western literary sensibility, produces a portrait of Japan that is both intimately observed and universally resonant. For those who wish to see Japan not through the eyes of a tourist, but through the contemplative gaze of a wandering artist, this volume promises a journey quite unlike any other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342762549467,"sku":"2026200016085-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/aa37b298-5762-46f6-b020-a1132af25331.png?v=1790048763","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016085-secondhand-the-silent-traveller-in-japan","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
