The Yato Home
by Keiji Yatsuo
“Yato” (valley) is a term for the folds of land running throughout low mountain ranges. This unique picture book tells the story of a residence in one of those folds, and of the families it was home to, over a period of 150 years. Richly detailed illustrations effortlessly convey the passing of time, while cleverly maintaining a focus on the same group of 16 Buddhist statues. The book concludes with a detailed explanation of the history, tools, and traditions of the area.
