Mer om författaren

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.
