Japanese History
Chuko Shinsho / With a population of 1.5 million, Kyoto. If you walk around the city, you can see mountains across any street and children playing in the river. It is unusual for a big city to be so close to people and Yamaga. In the first place, when the capital was moved 1200 years ago, Emperor Kanmu proclaimed "A natural Yogai where mountains rise around like collars and rivers flow around like belts." Since then, mountains and rivers have walked together with the capital. This book introduces the three mountains of Higashiyama, Kitayama, and Nishiyama, as well as the Kamo-gawa River, Katsura-gawa River, Uji River, Lake Biwa Canal, and the city Nakanokawa, and traces the relationship between their history and life.
