"Kyoto has many faces. Japan's imperial capital until 1868, its name even now is synonymous with that country's art and civilization. Besides being a gigantic open-air museum of art and architecture, it is also a place of pilgrimage for religious contemplation, a treasure house of Japanese antiques and traditional arts and crafts, a modern center of commerce and communications, and above all a lively place to live for its million and a half residents. Kyoto Woodcuts presents all these aspects, interpreted by one of the city's most gifted daughters.". Seller Inventory # 2509100022
