This was a beautiful coffee book that also acted like a tour guide. It fell a little short of being effective for either genre. The photographs of Kyoto were gorgeous and tried to capture the beauty of Japan and its people, but left me hanging with the history. I would have loved more background information on the various sites. But it brought back wonderful memories of my childhood growing up in Japan and viewing some of the sites mentioned in the book.

Whether you are interested in this unique city's history or are planning to travel to Kyoto,Kyoto City of Zen will serve as inspiration and provide invaluable insight into Kyoto's culture. This travel pictorial and Japan travel guide captures the sites and soul of Kyoto--Japan's historical and spiritual center. An elaborate kaleidoscope of craft, artistry and religion, Kyoto is one of the world's most popular travel destinations. Art and design form the weft and warp of this vibrant 1,200-year-old city, home to hundreds of gardens, palaces, villas and magnificent wooden temples--including seventeen UNESCO World Heritage sites. Like a Zen koan, Kyoto defies easy description. Its citizens may work at Nintendo designing video games, at a company designing precision medical instruments, or sitting cross-legged meticulously affixing micro-thin flakes of gold foil onto a painting. All of them share a living heritage grounded in centuries of traditional culture. InKyoto City of Zen, local expert Judith Clancy presents the most important gardens, temples, shrines and palaces of this ancient capital city and enduring cultural center. In addition to unveiling the city's spiritual and historical riches, this travel book shares with readers the exquisite foods, artistic crafts, religious ceremonies and architectural traditions that have flourished in Kyoto for over a millennium. Tea ceremonies, calligraphy, weaving, pottery, painting, drama, and many more traditional arts and crafts are presented through more than 350 photographs by Ben Simmons--whose images capture the true essence of Kyoto. The city's natural setting also comes into focus as the book guides you along leafy mountain paths and through spectacular parks and gardens--highlighting the best foliage each season has to offer.
