"Katsura Imperial Villa / Katsura Iwanami Graphics 1" is a collection of works by Ishimoto Yasuhiro, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. This book, "Katsura Imperial Villa," is the first of 36 volumes of "Iwanami Graphics," which compiles Japanese history, climate, and culture by theme. The text is by Hayashiya Tatsusaburo and the photographs are by Ishimoto Yasuhiro. Ishimoto's photographs of Katsura Imperial Villa include "Katsura: Tradition and Creation in Japanese Architecture" (1960) published by Zokeisha and designed by Herbert Bayer, a revised edition (1971) designed by Kamekura Yusaku, and "Katsura Imperial Villa: Space and Form" in color in the 1980s, and "Katsura Imperial Villa" since 2000. All of these have been published by Rokuyosha, but they are all out of print and rare. This is a compact, 80-page book, but it is a great deal as it contains black and white and color photographs of Katsura Imperial Villa taken by Ishimoto.
