Kyotoland: Japan (50 images)
KYOTOLAND by Stuart Isett
Kyoto has all the manifestations of that exhilarating cliché of Japan, where the traditional and modern supposedly clash. But it is a city which no longer has any context. It has no past, no future, only the present. It has become a manga fantasy, that can be created or destroyed with an artist's stroke. Picked up, the reader is taken to an artificial place divorced from history and time. But like a manga, it's impermanent and disposable.
