The temples of Kyoto
Japan's ancient capital, Kyoto offers the oldest and the most beautiful of Japan's Buddhist temples. This book presents 21 structures in dramatic photographs--buildings chosen by a noted architectural photographer for their visual interest and including many a tourist would never see. The text, by one of the leading contemporary Western authorities on Japanese culture, weaves together a history of Japanese Buddhism, facts and legends about the temples, gardens and sculptures
