"In Emperor of Japan, Eiji Ina presents photographs of the misasagi, or burial mounds, of all 124 Japanese emperors since the Kofun period, reaching back some 1,600 years. The scenes that Ina has captured --not of the tombs themselves, but rather the places for worshipping at the tombs, and the surrounding gardens and landscapes-- were created by the emperor system, with its claim of an unbroken line of sovereigns, that served as the foundation of the modern nation state of Japan." Photographs by Eiji Ina; essay by Ryuichi Kaneko. From an unnumbered edition limited to 1000 copies. Unpaginated [132 pages]; 145 duo-toned b&w illustrations; 14.25 x 11.5 inches. Text in English with a Japanese translation pamphlet laid-in. Due to size and weight, international and expedited shipping will be more than quoted. Seller Inventory # 20723

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. 'To us Japanese, issues concerning âthe emperorâ are not solely matters of politics and history, but are also deeply, if subtly, connected to our everyday lives and spirit . . . How many people have gone to Hachioji, just outside of Tokyo, to visit the Musashino Imperial Mausoleum where the Showa Emperor is buried? How many people know what kind of scene has been created there? I too, of course, watched the broadcast of the imperial funeral, but I have never actually been to the mausoleum.' â" from the Introduction by Ryuichi Kaneko. In Emperor of Japan, Eiji Ina presents photographs of the misasagi, or burial mounds, of all 124 Japanese emperors since the Kofun period, reaching back some 1,600 years.
