深入一个与你自己的文化不同的国家需要特别的好奇心和勇气。在《穿越日本》一书中，摄影师Eren Sarigul带着我们在这个美丽的国家进行了一次睁大眼睛的旅行。在他还是伦敦南部的一个小男孩时，他就对这个国家着迷不已。

埃伦出生于一个在伊斯坦布尔有着深厚根基的家庭，他在成长过程中掌握了两种语言，并经常去土耳其走亲戚。但正是他家接待的日本交换生让他萌生了有朝一日要去更远的东方旅行的梦想。《穿越日本》记录了这位年轻摄影师的旅行，从东京街头到屋久岛的迷人森林，再到长野的大山，然后再原路返回。他对日本的地理、文化和人民的终生喜爱在每一页上都显而易见。

It takes a particular blend of curiosity and courage to dive into a culture foreign to your own. In Across Japan, photographer Eren Sarigul takes us on a wide-eyed journey through the beautiful country that has fascinated him since he was a boy in south London.

Born into a family with deep roots in Istanbul, Eren grew up bilingual and frequently visited relatives in Turkey. But it was the Japanese exchange students his family hosted that planted a dream of one day travelling much farther east. Across Japan documents this young photographer’s travels from the streets of Tokyo, to the enchanted forests of Yakushima, to the mountains of Nagano and back again. His lifelong love affair with Japan’s geography, its cultures, and its people are evident on every page.
