Drawing on an archive of material, this is the first book in English to take an in-depth look at Kyoto’s modern transformation - its reinvention after 'collapse' (Meiji Restoration) and relocation of the imperial court to Tokyo. It includes an introduction and chapters on notable historical elements that sustain Kyoto as a quintessentially modern 'ancient capital' today.
