Remarques & avis / ReviewKen DOMON and Momoo KITAGAWA here present the Muroji temple (Nara prefecture) through detailed text and splendid, excellently gravure-printed monochrome photographs — thick paper, full-page, deep blacks, and Domon's amazing art. Mention, also, for the binding and its illustrations, by YASUI Sotaro. Quite uncommon.

DOMON Ken et KITAGAWA Momoo présentent ici le temple de Muro-ji (préfecture de Nara), à travers texte et de splendides photographies monochromes excellemment héliogravées — pleine page, papier fort, noirs profonds, et l'art de Domon. Mention, également, pour la reliure et ses illustrations par YASUI Sotaro. Assez peu courant.
