'Everyone is on a journey in their lives . . . And I believe that humankind too is on a journey in the flow of a larger time.' In this enduring classic, Michio Hoshino shares his reflections on the natural world, and our place within it.

Beautifully written, this book is a collection of Hoshino's writing published at the peak of his artistic prowess as a writer and photographer, only one year before his career was tragically cut short at the age of 43 by a fatal bear attack in the Kamchatka Peninsula.

First published in Japanese, The Traveling Tree is a literary triumph, available in English for the first time.
