Shosa is a literary and visual exploration of the Japanese concept of shosa – the mindful and respectful way of moving that shapes both everyday life and craftsmanship in Japan. In this book, journalist Ringo Gomez-Jorge and photographer Rob Walbers portray twelve Japanese makers from different regions, from bamboo weavers and tatami mat makers to ceramists and Zen monks. Through words and images, the book follows the hands of these creators in a search to uncover the complex meaning of shosa. A contemplative volume for those drawn to Japanese aesthetics, craftsmanship, and presence.
