528 pp., illustrations, maps, bibliography, index. In French. Dès sa fondation au VIIIe siècle, la ville du Kyôto a été l’une des plus vastes capitales mondiales, surpassant en taille et en magnificence les villes de l’Europe médiévale. Exception superbe dans un pays essentiellement rural, la ville est restée le foyer de la civilisation japonaise pendant près de mille ans. Unique grande agglomération japonaise à avoir été épargnée par les bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Kyôto est aujourd’hui une métropole d’un million quatre cent mille habitants qui a conservé d’innombrables vestiges de son prestigieux passé. On y recense près de deux mille lieux de culte, temples bouddhiques et sanctuaires shintô, dont l’architecture est souvent très ancienne. Berceau historique de l’art des jardins, la ville conserve le plus remarquable musée de l’histoire de l’architecture et du paysage du Japon. Dix-sept sites majeurs ont été inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. Ils regroupent à eux seuls cent quatre-vingt-dix-huit édifices et douze jardins historiques, parmi lesquels les célèbres jardins du temple des Mousses, du Ryôanji, du pavillon d’Or et du pavillon d’Argent. Kyôto demeure, à bien des égards, le haut lieu de la civilisation japonaise. Située au cœur d’un bassin naturel protégé par une couronne de montagnes, la ville a toujours été le témoin d’une organisation originale de l’espace habité. Il en a résulté un ensemble de dispositifs architecturaux et urbains, représentatifs des différentes phases de l’histoire humaine de la ville. Particulièrement privilégiées à Kyôto, les relations organiques entre l’être humain et la nature ont élaboré au fil des siècles des paysages complexes par lesquels se manifestent aujourd’hui encore des formes uniques d’interaction entre l’individu et son environnement naturel.…
