Die acht Gesichter am Biwasee

"Die acht Gesichter am Biwasee" is a book inspired by an old Japanese tradition. It tells the story of eight different landscapes found near the Biwa Lake, close to the ancient city of Kyoto, Japan. The author, Max Dauthendey, drew inspiration from the Japanese art form known as "Acht Ansichten," which showcases the beauty of the Biwa Lake through poetry and artwork. The tradition dates back to the 15th century and has been used by many artists throughout history to depict the stunning scenery surrounding the lake. The book is a collection of love stories set against the backdrop of the breathtaking landscapes found in the Biwa Lake area. It is a wonderful introduction to the Japanese culture and art, and a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the beauty of the Biwa Lake region."
