The city of Kyoto has undergone radical shifts in its significance as a political and cultural center, as a hub of the national bureaucracy, as a symbolic and religious center, and as a site for the production and display of art. However, the field of Japanese history and culture lacks a book that considers Kyoto on its own terms as a historic city with a changing identity.
Examining cultural production in the city of Kyoto in two periods of political transition, this book promises to be a major step forward in advancing our knowledge of Kyotos history and culture. Its chapters focus on two periods in Kyotos history in which the old capital was politically marginalized: the early Edo period, when the center of power shifted from the old imperial capital to the new warriors capital of Edo; and the Meiji period, when the imperial court itself was moved to the new modern center of Tokyo. The contributors argue that in both periods the response of Kyoto elitesemperors, courtiers, tea masters, municipal leaders, monks, and merchantswas artistic production and cultural revival.
As an artistic, cultural and historical study of Japan''s most important historic city, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of Japanese history, Asian history, the Edo and Meiji periods, art history, visual culture and cultural history.
