This is the first work of modern scholarship to treat the whole of Kyotos premodern urban history, from the 8th century to about 1600. As an imperial city planned according to Chinese geomantic models and embedded with status specific architectural codes, the author takes the position that the cityscape itself can be read as a text rich in information on politics, religion, and daily life.
