A collection of photographs by photographer Takeji Iwamiya. The photographs capture the nature and cultural heritage of Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital. The book is divided into four chapters: "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter," "Daily Life," "Gardens & Tea," and "Temples, Shrines, Prayer, and Buddhist Statues," which impressively capture the various faces of Kyoto. The preface is by essayist Itoko Okabe. Includes 4 separate prints for viewing. The shipping box has scratches, discoloration, and stains, but the slipcase, cover, and interior pages are in good condition with no significant stains or tears. However, as this is an old book and a used item, please understand this before purchasing.
