Assouline's ‘Sushi Shokunin: Japan's Culinary Masters’ is James Beard Award-winning photographer and author Andrea Fazzari's tribute to the art of sushi. In Japan, the word shokunin is reserved for artisans who bring an artistic eye and a spiritual sense of purpose, or ikigai, to their craft. Through striking photography and intimate essays, Fazzari profiles twenty of the country's most celebrated sushi masters, each chapter introducing a new master and restaurant and capturing the aesthetics, philosophy and devotion behind their work. The first book of its kind, it is a must-have for sushi enthusiasts and anyone drawn to fine food culture, offering a glimpse into a rarefied world where sushi is not only a career but a way of life.
