Deep Kyoto: Walks

Deep Kyoto: Walks

Deep Kyoto: Walks is a new anthology of 18 meditative strolls in Japanâ€™s ancient cultural capital. Independently produced by 16 writers who have made their home in Kyoto, this book is both a tribute to life in the city of â€œPurple Hills and Crystal Streamsâ€, and a testament to the art of contemplative city walking. In a series of rambles that express each writerâ€™s intimate relationship with the city, they take you not only to the most famous shrines and temples, but also to those backstreets of memory where personal history and the greater story of the city intersect. Join Pico Iyer, Judith Clancy, Chris Rowthorn, John Dougill, Robert Yellin, John Ashburne and more as they explore markets and mountains, bars and gardens, palaces and pagodas and show us Kyoto afresh through the eyes of those who call it â€œhomeâ€.
