The complete photo book of Ise Jingu with description details re-edited by an American editor and an English designer. Ise Jingu is a shinto shrine dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu. Amaterasu is mythologically said to be the ascendant of the Japanese imperial family and the creator of the universe. Photographer Miori Inata has been taking photos of the shrine for more than 10 years. She added the description on the origins of Japan as an author for people overseas, which illustrates ancient Japanese philosophies of reincarnation and symbiosis.
