Description
First published in 1994, The Traveling Tree by world-renowned photographer Michio Hoshino is a literary classic. In this enduringly popular collection, naturalist, mystic, and adventurer Michio Hoshino shares his reflections on the natural world and our place within it.
Beautifully written, this book is a collection of Michio's writing published at the peak of his artistic prowess as a writer and photographer, only one year before his career was tragically cut short at the age of 43 by a fatal bear attack in the Kamchatka Peninsula.
First published in Japanese, The Traveling Tree is a literary triumph, available in English for the first time.
The Traveling Tree has gained increasing popularity in the more than 20 years since Hoshino's untimely death. His work has been featured in numerous Japanese television specials and documentaries, and an exhibition of his photography has travelled to cities and communities across Japan.

About the Author
Michio Hoshino was a Japanese-born nature photographer. After his introduction to Alaska, Hoshino was smitten with America's northernmost state and dedicated the remainder of his life to photographing and writing about it. The Travelling Tree is a collection of his writing and will be supplemented in translation with a selection of his finest images. It was published at the peak of his artistic prowess, only two years before his career was tragically cut short at the age of 43 by a fatal bear attack while on a shoot in the Kamchatka Peninsula.
