Seeing Kyoto

$ 1,103 元 原價 1,225
Seeing Kyoto captures all the elegance of Japan's most beloved city. Dozens of gorgeous photographs reveal Kyoto's charms: the centuries-old Gion quarters where geisha still ply their trade; the quiet dignity of cobblestone corridors lined with traditional wooden houses; sacred temple grounds; classic Japanese gardens; and old palaces once inhabited by aristocrats and samurai. With insightful text, long-time Japan resident Juliet Winters Carpenter delves into the cultural history of Kyoto and looks at how the rich traditions of yesterday are becoming the strengths of today. She then takes us on a delightful side-trip to neighboring Nara, often called "the little Kyoto."
