One person you want to meet for a coffee in Tokyo: Stephen Mansfield. The British author and photojournalist has written 10 books (14, including collaborative work) and produced over 2,000 published articles for newspapers, magazines and journals since 1992.
Among his many awe-inspiring experiences is an exclusive interview with the world famous political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi at her home in Burma.
Mansfield's expertise spans a varied terrain of subjects, including Japanese gardens, Laotian hill tribes and the cultural and literary history of Tokyo. Yet, it is one particular thing — his lifetime of travels — that lies at the root of his professional productivity and accomplishments to date.
