A photo book by Yasuhiro Ishimoto, one of Japan's leading photographers, ``KATSURA: Tradition and Creation in Japanese Architecture (Revised edition)''. This is a representative work 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 first edition, published in 1960, had the preface and text written by Japan's leading architect Kenzo Tange and Bauhaus president Walter Gropius, the layout and cover by Herbert Bayer, a designer also from the Bauhaus, and the title Katsura written by artist.・It became an immortal masterpiece with the collaboration of gorgeous artists such as Toko Shinoda, but this work, published in 1971, was created by Yusaku Kamekura, one of Japan's leading graphic designers, who was responsible for the design of "Chicago, Chicago". The illustrations and layout have been completely revised. This is another great book.
