The temples of Kyoto
The temples of Kyoto
Charles E. Tuttle Company
by Richie, Donald; Georges, Alexandre
Kyoto has long been recognized as the home of some of the oldest and most beautiful of Japan's thousands of temples. Beginning with an overview history of Buddhism in Japan, the author surveys 21 ancient Buddhist temples in and around Kyoto, including both the universally known, such as the Kinkaku-ji, Byodo-in and Byodo-in, as well many lesser known gems. For each, he provides a brief history, which manages to be both anecdotal and scholarly, accompanied by Georges' magnificent photography. A book to be savoured. 152 pp., 55 colour photos, bibliography.
