«Les quatre saisons de Kyôto» is the sketchbook of drawings and poetic reflections by Kaii Higashiyama, published by Seuil in hardback (224 pages, in French).
The painter Kaii Higashiyama brings together drawings, watercolours and poetic reflections to explore Kyoto through the year: alleyways, temples, stone and moss gardens, monasteries, bamboos and tea pavilions, with festivals, processions, rituals and ancestral customs. A gaze that seeks the beauty and refinement of the city.
The book opens with a preface by Yasunari Kawabata, Nobel Prize winner. Higashiyama (1908-1999), a landscape painter trained in Berlin, achieved fame with the panels and screens of the Tôshôdai-ji temple.
For travellers and art lovers who want to discover Kyoto from within, far from superficial visits.
