Meiji Era naturalist and polymath Minakata Kumagusu (1867-1941) described his chosen home of Tanabe as a quiet place with kind people, cheap commodities and beautiful weather and scenery — a description that still holds true. On the 150th anniversary of Minakata’s birth, writer Lance Henderstein traveled to Wakayama Prefecture to explore the Kii Peninsula and photograph the area that gave birth to one of Japan’s greatest minds.
