Patterns & Details, Japan Travel Images - Open Edition Fine Art Prints 56 images Created 25 Jul 2011

Japan is one of my great loves: I first came to this beautiful country as a child, and now find myself returning over and over. Japanese design and detail are justly famous, and these images capture some of the patterns and detail from across Japan.

These images are available as open edition prints in a variety of sizes and on your choice of photographic papers. They are also available for licensing as stock photographs of Japan.
