A string of valleys carved out by strange and anarchic mountains and and lands. Mountains of the Moon is the name given to Guizhou, the province that lies in southeastern China. This book is dedicated to the Miao, who make up the largest ethnic group of the region. It portrays their lives throughout the different seasons as well as their culture--including poems, songs, festivals and legends. The book's images preserve a people still living in a time preceding modern culture; their traditions have been maintained due to the geographical remoteness of the region. This portrayal of Guizhou and its people offers the West a unique vision of China as it once was.

Philippe Fatin is a traveller, photographer and collector who has established a world-class collection of tribal textiles from southern China. These exquisitely colourful, hand-woven textiles are highly prized by collectors and here for the first time is the most extensive collection of garments collected from tribes across southern China including the Bahzai, Zhouxi, Xijiang and Gedong amongst others. The distinctive styles, colours and motifs from each are looked at in turn and the remarkable photographs allow the reader to appreciate the intricacy of each piece and the tradition prized by each tribe. Profusely illustrated, the book not only studies the designs themselves but shows the ceremonies the textiles are made for, the traditional weaving methods employed as well other ornamentation's such as headpieces and fastenings. Dying techniques and other working methods are also discussed. 320 colour photos
