4.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite book about Ryokan, August 14, 2009
By 
This review is from: Ryokan: A Japanese Tradition (Hardcover)
Not knowing anything about this sub-species of Japanese art/architecture, this book is a pleasure to read and look at. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an interesting angle into learning about Japan's cultural history. Many many sumptuous photographs offer the concept of the ryokan as Japan's version of a domicile Gesamtkunstwerk. A slight criticism might be that the author relies too much on quoting passages from others, but this is a minor point, the topics and illlustrations carry the day here.
