Remarques & avis / Review — A superb depiction of the most important of the Shinto shrines in Japan, the Shrine of Ise (Mie), that has enthralled Yoshio WATANABE for years, in a beautiful and well-crafted, large-sized volume. Preceding the photographs of the Ise shrines, their peculiar architecture and their vast domain (which is also a National Park), is found an impressive attempt to put the Shinto legend of the creation of the world (=Japan) into very expressive pictures. The most renowned and sought-after work on Ise.

Une superbe représentation du plus important sanctuaire shinto du Japon, le sanctuaire d'Ise (Mie), qui a envoûté WATANABE Yoshio pendant des années, dans un bel et grand volume, très bien fini. Avant les photos des sanctuaires d'Ise, leur architecture particulière et leur vaste domaine (qui est également un parc naturel), l'on trouve l'impressionnante tentative de Watanabe de mettre en photographie la légende shinto de la création du monde (= le Japon). L'ouvrage le plus célèbre et recherché sur Ise.
