Publisher Note

Autumn in Japan" is an ink painter's diary of a journey through Japan in the autumn season. A collection of memories seen through the artist's brush, coupled with a tribute in words to the Japanese tradition of the travel diary. Four metres of daily paintings in ink by artist Mafalda Tenente are reproduced over nine foldout triptychs, and interspersed with the journey’s narrative. This hand-bound edition includes elements associated with autumn, such as changing colors (kōyō), filtered light (komorebi), or fallen leaves (rakuyō) through its concise creative design. “Autumn in Japan” is a book for all the travellers out there in search of a contemporary connection to the journeys that preceded them, as well as those who admire the art and literature of Japan.
