Petali e grattacieli: dentro al Giappone che cambia
A journey through contemporary Japan: a nation suspended between tradition and innovation, grappling with profound social, economic, and demographic shifts. From high-tech metropolises to the most secluded corners, Marco Clementi’s reportage explores a complex society, touching upon phenomena such as hikikomori (social withdrawal), an aging population, and emerging forms of loneliness. Spanning Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, the narrative traverses both the world of robotics and ancient, time-honored traditions: from the art of kintsugi and the crafting of katana swords to the rituals of sumo wrestlers and the culture of the geisha. The account also delves into gastronomy, craftsmanship, and daily life, encompassing everything from sushi and sake to exquisite kimonos.
