Tibet

In addition to capturing brilliantly the overwhelming beauty of Tibet, Kazuyoshi Nomachi reveals in his photography a rare intimacy with the country that comes from many visits spent living among its people. Through Nomachi's eyes we witness the beauty of a land and its people whose gentle spirituality is threatened by the onslaught of a different set of values from the outside world. Complementing the photographs is authoritative and informative text edited by Robert Thurman.
