In Japanese and English. Covers the Nepal, Punja, Sikkim and Hindu Kush Himalayas. From Edmund Hillary's introduction: My friend Yoshikazu Shirakawa has felt the call of the Himalayas just as I have. For three years he has returned again and again to capture on film their serenity, mysticism and grandeur. No one can doubt his love of mountains - his wonderful pictures speak for themselves-and he could not have succeeded in his objective without courage and great determination. With this book Mr. Shirakawa has indeed reached a photographic "Everest."
