Book Introduction

"ARCA: Tales of This Planet" (Shogakukan Shueisha Productions)

From the highest peaks of the Himalayas to Antarctica. Our planet is this beautiful! A collection of breathtaking scenery from Yuki Ueda, a photographer who ventures to the poles.

From space, this blue planet might look like a small ark. An ark, continuing its journey carrying life. (From the text)

Photographer Yuki Ueda, carrying her camera on her back, climbs mountains, dives into the sea, and travels to places yet unseen. She continues to record and share the truths of the world that only those who have been there can know, such as the spectacular scenery of the polar regions and anecdotes told by local people. This book features approximately 100 dynamic and beautiful landscape photographs, including newly taken shots from a trip in January 2026.
