The Katsura palace, which has been compared in cultural importance with the Parthenon, was the retreat of Japanese rulers from the seventeenth century. It is a stunning imperial villa with exquisite gardens, and we are treated to a visual tour through the beautiful photographs of Takeshi Nishikawa (b. 1925). The work includes architectural drawings as well as a history of the buildings and grounds written by Akira Naito (b. 1932), a professor of architecture at Nagoya Institute of Technology.
