Japan Flower Fields & Blooming Valleys Coloring Book

About this book

Sixty real flower fields of Japan — and every one of them ready to color.

This book travels Japan's flower country from north to south, and every stop is a real place in its real landscape: the lavender stripes of Farm Tomita in Furano and the rainbow patchwork hills of Biei, two million sunflowers in the valley town of Hokuryu, a whole hillside dyed pink with moss phlox at Higashimokoto, the blue hill of five million nemophila at Hitachi Seaside Park, moss phlox blooming at the foot of Mount Fuji, tulip ribbons in Kamiyubetsu and Tonami, lotus ponds whose seeds slept for 1,400 years at Gyoda, hydrangeas along the Hakone mountain railway, and rapeseed burning yellow along the shore of Lake Ikeda under Mount Kaimon.

Every subject appears as a two-page spread: on one side, a full-color photo guide with a short, fascinating story — the place's history, its flowers, its landscape, and exactly how to color it — and on the other, a detailed coloring page of the very same view, converted from the real photograph so the scene you color is the scene itself.

Inside you will find: • Hokkaido's great flower country — Furano's lavender, Biei's rainbow hills, the sunflower town of Hokuryu, the rapeseed sea of Takikawa • Tohoku's farms and garden valleys — Koiwai Farm under Mount Iwate, the lavender fields of Misato, the sunflower road of Ogata • Kanto's great flower parks — Hitachi's blue nemophila hill, Itako's iris gardens on the water, the lotus ponds of Gyoda and Ueno, Fuji's pink shibazakura carpet • The plateaus and temple flowers of Chubu and Kansai — Tonami's three million tulips, the hydrangea temple of Yatadera, Kameoka's cosmos garden • The flower plateaus of Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu — Sera Kogen, Monet's water-lily garden in Kitagawa, Huis Ten Bosch tulips, and a quarter-million autumn sunflowers in Miyaki • 60 full-color photo guides with the story of each place (about 81–111 words each) • None of these sixty subjects appeared in our previous Japan coloring books

Sixty flower fields, one long season of bloom from Hokkaido to Kyushu — bring pencils, and take your time.
