On Apr 25 2014, Jw468 said:
First, this book is sometimes referred to using the title shown on the jacket, KATSURA VILLA: THE AMBIGUITY OF ITS SPACE. KATSURA VILLA: SPACE AND FORM appears on the title page of the book. It is a very handsome, large-format, cloth-bound hardcover. The quality is excellent. The primary focus of this work is the pictorial coverage of Katsura. The photos are glorious, generally very large, and they show a great range of scale. There are a number of isometric drawings showing various features of the buildings. Near the end of the book is a section containing a few large plans and elevations; if you’re looking for large drawings of Katsura, KATSURA: A PRINCELY RETREAT might be worth a look; it contains several, including sections. Also near the end of the book is a section with image captions. I believe that as least part of this book has been reprinted as KATSURA: IMPERIAL VILLA.
