Japanese photojournalist Kazuyoshi Nomachi offers us a completely new opportunity to speculate on faith and its revitalized potential. The author has, for thirty years, studied the routes followed by man in search of himself, others, and God - often in the most out-of-the-way and, often, poorest countries of the world. These routes are pilgrimages, or as the author likes to call them, 'prayer routes,' that take Muslims to the Qa'aba, Buddhists to Lhasa, Ethiopian Christians to Lalibela, etc.
