Celestial Gardens - Kyoto Imperial Palace and Villa

Yukio Futagawa’s pursuit of documenting spaces and shapes of Japanese architecture since the 1950s has been taken over today in the form of the creation of a comprehensive beauty that embraces the seasonal aspects of nature. 60 years in gestation, this compilation is a culmination of his last efforts coupled with enthusiastic applications of new visual technologies. Captured here are spaces of Imperial gardens and architectures like ‘no one has ever seen’ that approach the spirit of modernity in Japanese architecture
