The Mountain Island

Overview

Japan, land of modernity and tradition, developed to the rhythm of its main island, Honshu. At the foot of Mount Fuji, it is the largest and the most populated of the archipelago. Hurt by earthquarkes and wars, it is the domain of the capital Tokyo and the ancient imperial city of Kyoto. This journey between land and sky, into the heart of the third world economic power, plunges into the intimate life of a people who made the History.
