Description
Explore the evolving identity of Kyoto through this academic study from Routledge. This book examines how the city functioned as a political, cultural, and religious center during two major periods of political transition: the Early Edo and Meiji periods. While Kyoto has seen radical shifts in its role as a hub for national bureaucracy and a site for art production, this work addresses the lack of existing research that treats Kyoto as a historic city with its own changing identity. By analyzing cultural production and the arts of reinvention, this volume provides a new way to understand the history of Japanese art and culture. It is an essential resource for those studying the modern history of Asia and the specific ways Kyoto served as a site for the display and creation of art during times of significant social change.
