A temple near the hypocenter of the atomic blast at Hiroshima was disintegrated, but its ginkgo tree survived to bud and bloom. Arthur Sze extends this metaphor of survival and flowering to transform the world’s factual darkness into precarious splendor. He ingeniously integrates the world’s mundane and miraculous into a moving, visionary journey.
