[Journey Through Japan]( ART & DESIGN The Architecture of Japan – From Ancient to Contemporary, Featuring the Islands of Naoshima and Teshima Itinerary 11 Days Departs May 13, 2019 [Carolina Miranda]It is impossible to calculate the influence that Japanese art and design has had on the West. The forms and color of Japanese block prints helped shape Impressionist painting. Japanese architecture is present in the upturned eaves of Craftsman architecture. And Japanese landscape design techniques have shaped the aesthetics of countless front yards all over Southern California. I'm thrilled to be leading this trip because it will take us to the source of these designs – from rural temples to bustling contemporary design shops in the heart of Tokyo. Bonus: all that incredible food. My favorite: O-nigiri (rice balls). — Carolina Miranda The architecture of Japan is a study in contrasts. On this trip, led by L.A.
