``KATSURA'' is a photo book by Yasuhiro Ishimoto, one of Japan's leading photographers. Yasuhiro Ishimoto studied under Harry Callahan and others at the New Bauhaus in the United States, and with his unique sense of form and aesthetic eye, created a new style in Japan's postwar photography world, which was dominated by reporting and documentation. This book ``Katsura'' is a masterpiece along with ``One Day in a Certain Place'' (1958) and ``Chicago, Chicago'' (1969). Ishimoto returned to Japan in the early 1950s, and was fascinated by the sense of unity and rhythm of Katsura's ``garden, architecture, and space,'' which was different from other architecture he had seen in Kyoto and Nara in the same year. We stayed at Tawaraya and took pictures. The preface and text were written by Japan's leading architect Kenzo Tange and Bauhaus president Walter Gropius, the layout and cover were designed by Herbert Bayer, a designer also from the Bauhaus, and the Katsura title was created by the gorgeous artist Toko Shinoda. A timeless masterpiece co-starring. Japanese version. Included in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990. (Plastic cover missing)
