Stephen Mansfield has published twenty books and over two thousand articles, many of them dealing with Japanese travel and culture. He is the author of Tokyo: A Biography, 100 Japanese Gardens and Japan's Master Gardens. As a photo-journalist and writer, he has written extensively on cities as unique as Havana and Honolulu, but claims to have never encountered anywhere quite as inexhaustibly intriguing as Tokyo.
