Walking KYOTO

Travel + Leisure magazine elected Kyoto as No.1 in their "World's Top 10 Cities" second year in a row, saying it is "the quintessential Japanese experience, offering visitors everything from history (in the form of spiritual shrines) to notable cuisine (shojin ryori) and encounters with the famed Geisha dancers." (refer to the link below)

This collection features those sketches of Kyoto by Tsujimoto, who has been living there more than 40 years and drawing various sceneries through the four seasons. All sketches feature very popular sites where many international tourists visit, and historically notable places. Its official website (below) providing the map and travel guide to each place, this is a good visual guide to the city, as well as a perfect gift for anyone who loves Japan.
