Exquisite book about Ryokan,
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.

This review is from: Ryokan: A Japanese Tradition (Hardcover)
This is one of the most beautiful books on Japan that I've seen. Lovely colored pictures throughout, plus information on everything applicable to Japan. It's a fabulous book that you can look at and enjoy over and over. I have many books on Japan and this is definitely at the top of my list! Worth every penny and then some...

Treasures of Japan,

Having stayed in a 400 year-old ryokan in Kyoto, it was a pleasure to read more about them and their history.
