About this book

Language: Japanese with 2-page table of contents in English

Why did people build aquaria? What do those blue spaces represent? Aquaria invite many questions and instantly transport us to a fantastical world. This book unravels the history of the relationship between people and aquatic life through this unique space, from ancient times to the present, from all over the world, with approximately 200 illustrations, including colour photographs. This definitive edition, which adds new photographs and text to the award-winning work of the 40th Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities, discusses the ideal future for aquaria in the midst of environmental issues.

Summary in Japanese:

第40回サントリー学芸賞(社会・風俗部門)受賞作に新たな写真と文をくわえ、環境問題にゆれる水族館のあるべき未来像について語る決定版。
