Description
An anthology of 18 meditative strolls in Japan's ancient capital, Deep Kyoto: Walks is both a tribute to life in the city of "Purple Hills and Crystal Streams", and a testament to the art of contemplative city walking. In a series of rambles that express each writer's intimate relationship with the city, they take you not only to the most famous shrines and temples, but also to those backstreets of memory where personal history and the greater story of the city intersect. Join Pico Iyer, Judith Clancy, Chris Rowthorn, John Dougill, Robert Yellin, John Ashburne and more as they explore markets and mountains, bars and gardens, palaces and pagodas and show us Kyoto afresh through the eyes of those who call it "home".
Included are:
18 walks
16 photographic illustrations
A specially commissioned woodblock print by Richard Steiner
12 detailed maps
Cover Art by internationally acclaimed artist Sarah Brayer
