Chinese proverb says: "A helping hand makes a happy heart." Hands are
expressions of ourselves, measures by which we may be understood.
Stretched out in acceptance or clenched in defiance, hands communicate
our emotions. Weathered in the fields or immaculately manicured in the
salon, they also reflect our lifestyles. Hands caress, pray, fight,
dance, labor, greet, hug, hold, gesture, and help. Looking at hands
across Asia is a journey of discovery, of stories untold. Asia Unique
takes you by the hand to bring you the richness of this fascinating
continent. Hands highlights the extraordinary diversity and character of
hands across Asia, captured in 135 stunning color photographs and
enriched by inspirational Asian quotes and proverbs related to hands.
