obiterocelot 's review for:
Another Kyoto
by Alex Kerr
informative
reflective
medium-paced
Read if you love: All things Japan, architecture, being right all the time, Tea Houses and temples, hand drawn illustrations, the simple things in life
Avoid if you love: Facts about things you understand, grand palaces, the Shin of Shin Gyo So
—————
I picked this up to read before a trip to Japan and as the kind of person who loves pointing out Ionic, Doric and Corinthian columns in Europe, I was hoping this would give me the opportunity to do something similar in Japan.
And it did offer me that to an extent, but there was also plenty in here that was quite difficult to fully grasp without seeing the Japan they were talking about. Perhaps my expectations were just a bit too high going in.
