Autor

I was born and raised in Germany, but I discovered my interest and passion for Japan at a young age, initially through movies and literature. After completing my education, I went on my first trips. I was increasingly impressed by the beauty of Japanese nature and the hospitality of the people. My enthusiasm and love for the country with its long cultural tradition, its contradictions and rituals, which still influence life in many areas, continues to this day. In my books, I would like to share my admiration and love for Japan with you. At the same time, I try to build a bridge between our two cultures. My aim is to promote understanding and appreciation of Japanese culture. If I have succeeded in doing this with you, dear reader, I will have fulfilled a wish and possibly aroused your interest in other topics relating to this country through my books. Hermann Candahashi
