Specificatii
What better way to see Kyoto than at dawn, when the back streets
and alleys of this 1,200-year-old city are still under the spell of
the past? Old folks fuss about with their bonsai and laundry poles,
pausing to chat on their way to the neighborhood shrine with
flowers and morning prayers. Knock-kneed white egrets stalk the
stream beds for breakfast, and the giant bronze temple bells awaken
the former capital of Japan every morning as they have done for
centuries. Through wars, fires, famines, tyrants, and now rapid
modernization, the old neighborhoods of Kyoto are the places where
the customs and traditions of this fascinating city, with its
confusing blend of old and new, have managed to survive. American
writer and former Kyoto resident Diane Durston introduces seven
must-see precincts of this ancient capital city, including four
Historic Preservation Districts. Among them are the world-famous
geisha quarter, the kimono textile neighborhoods, the sake-brewing
area of Fushimi, and the tea-growing region of Uji. Durston weaves
together local lore and historical sites to create a panoply of
provocative walking tours that take the reader back in time to the
elegance of earlier days. Accompanying each section is a full-color
map and the fine photography of Katsuhiko Mizuno, a Kyoto native
and one of the city's most famous photographers. Sections
highlighting Kyoto crafts, cuisine, festivals, and tourist
essentials round out this attractive volume, making it the perfect
introduction -and guide- to one of the world's most evocative
cities. FEATURES * Photographs by one of Kyoto's most renowned
photographers * Locations of the most important Historic
Preservations Districts * Detailed maps and suggested routes *
Scenic and little-known walking paths * Completely revised and
updated information
