Tempura - N°23

TEMPURA Magazine was born in 2019. Its mission? To open the doors to a Japan far removed from clichés. Co-founded by Emil Pacha Valencia, Editor-in-Chief, Clémence Fabre, Artistic Director, and Olivier Cohen de Timary, Publishing Director, TEMPURA is a magazine aimed as much at lovers of Japan as at curious readers seeking inspiration. In this issue: In Chamonix, we investigate a little-known chapter in mountaineering history: the Japanese mountaineers whose passion for the Alps, and for the people who live there, left lasting traces. We pitch our tent in Japanese-style campgrounds, where heated low tables coexist with meticulously engineered high-tech barbecues. Wildlife photographer Manabu Miyazaki has spent decades observing animals in the forests. We meet a man who has chosen patience, solitude and a life close to the wild. Philosopher Augustin Berque helps us understand the Japanese relationship to landscape, one shaped as much by contemplation as by harmony. We take you along an epic 210-kilometre trail through Shizuoka, where nature and culture intertwine at every step. And plenty more surprises. Pages: 196 Format: 220 x 280 mm
