196 Seiten Fresh and clean copy in good condition. Japanese language magazine with full color photos throughout. Frisches und sauberes Exemplar in gutem Zustand.

Particularly, literature, including such a noted work as the Tale of Genji, and other colorful and graceful arts and crafts flourished in Kyoto in the Heian period from the 8th century to the 12th century around the Imperial court and the nobility. This issue presents the readers with those cultural works - picture scrolls, pictures on slidign and folding sceens, ukiyoye wood-block prints which are associated with the events which occurred in Kyoto during its 1,000 year history. Fortunately, Kyoto was spared during World War II, so that the old streets of the city still remain today. The City, surrounded by gently-sloping hills and watered by the Kamo river and other rivers, is rich in seasonal changes in scenery- cherry flowers in spring and tree leaves turning crimson in autumn - and this attracts many visitors to it. the editor hopes that you will visit Kyoto some day with this special issue in hand.
