He painstakingly accumulated decisive moments that can only be obtained by patiently waiting for extended periods, confronting Japan's wild animals, which are highly cautious and difficult to encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat appears in the photos is a series of lives, far from flashy, yet vibrantly alive. Forests covered in snow, the season of budding, the scent of damp earth—animals quietly and resiliently live within the rhythm of Japan's nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is not merely an animal photobook; it is an attempt to present the natural world disconnected from the human gaze, and a record that deeply questions the relationship between Japan's climate and its living creatures. It is a work that, alongside technological innovation in wildlife photography, reveals a world that can only be seen through \"waiting.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Title] Animal Paths\u003cbr\u003e[Publisher] Kyoritsu Shuppan\u003cbr\u003e[Publication Date] June 1, 1979 (First Edition)\u003cbr\u003e[Page Count] Unpaginated\u003cbr\u003e[Size] Approx. 217*305*15mm \/ 900g\u003cbr\u003e[Format] Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e[Language] Japanese\u003cbr\u003e[Title Reading] KEMONOMICH\u003cbr\u003e[Author\/Editor] Manabu Miyazaki\/Author\u003cbr\u003e[Printing] Shin-Nippon Printing\/Printed\u003cbr\u003e[ISBN] 00728182401371\u003cbr\u003e[Condition] Used 【\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e】Good to Average (Obi: torn in two at the spine, Cover: slight creasing at top)\u003cbr\u003e[Accessories] Obi\u003cbr\u003e[Featured In] -\u003cbr\u003e[Related Exhibitions] -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"37\"\u003eManabu Miyazaki (born 1949)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"39\" data-end=\"176\"\u003eBorn in 1949 in the Ina Valley, Nagano Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003eAfter working for a precision machinery company, he became a self-taught photographer, focusing his work on the relationship between nature and humans.
