Remarques & avis / Review — This is a volume which, in truth, pleases both the eye and the hand. Tokyo might be attractive — fascination, speed, mass, post-modern, and the contrast, very much liked by commentators, megapole and disctrict life —, but the heart of the old-continent-ers in travel or stay, is no doubt taken by Kyoto : human-sized former capital-city and houses, less decided than constrainted by mountains and laws, old wooden districts, wealth of temples and shrines, the Gion of the geishas and the old malls... Every little thing has an timeless touch, and the illusion of the unchanged strikes both the traveller and the resident.
The publisher Tanko-shinsha and excellent photographers such as KUZUNISHI Sosei and Taikichi IRIE, deliver here the Kyoto of the 1950s, in those numerous and marvellous helio-engravings of black and of white, through temples, greenery and rivers, pathways, shops and gardens, industries, arts and crafts, feasts, markets, festivals. Lots of faces, too, and a special mention to the pictures of working craftmen — for a city is made, before all, of her people. Great piece of art and a truly beautiful book.
Voici un volume qui fait, en vérité, plaisir à voir et toucher. Si Tokyo est un pôle d'attraction certain — fascination, vitesse, masse, post-modernité, et le contraste, cher aux commentateurs et -trices, mégapole et vie de quartier —, le cœur des vieux-continentaux de passage va sans faute à Kyoto : taille humaine, moins décidée que contrainte par la montagne et la loi, de la ville, ancienne capitale, et des bâtisses, vieux quartiers de bois, richesse de temples et sanctuaires, le Gion des geishas et les galeries marchandes... Tout a un petit air d'intemporel, et l'illusion d'inchangé frappe à la fois touriste et résident.
L'éditeur Tanko-shinsha et d'aussi excellents photographes que KUZUNISHI Sosei et IRIE Taikichi, nous livrent ici le Kyoto des années 1950, dans ces nombreuses et splendides héliogravures de noir et de blanc, à travers temples, verdure et rivières, ruelles, échoppes et jardins, industries, arts et artisanats, fêtes, marchés, festivals. Beaucoup de visages, aussi, et mention toute spéciale pour les photos des artisans en travail — car une ville, c'est avant tout ses gens. Du grand art, et un très beau livre.
