Villages throughout Japan celebrate the changing seasons with festivals, or matsuri, that are filled with excitement, color, and tradition. Painter Masaaki Tanaka has captured the spirit of matsuri for more than 25 years and that work was featured regularly on the covers of Japan's most famous weekly magazine, Shukan Shincho. With text both in English and Japanese, Tanakas Japanese Festivals reverberates with color and fireworks and invites you to join the celebration.
