Ken Domon: Ancient Japanese Temples Photo Collection

About the productJapanese

Ken Kato was a master of postwar Japanese photography, who built the dawn of Japanese photography. During his 44 years of artistic activity, from 1935 until he collapsed from a cerebral thrombosis in 1979, he is best known for his life's work, "Pilgrimage to Old Temples." This is a collection of five volumes of work in which he visited old temples all over Japan and photographed their scenery, architecture, Buddhist statues, and more, over a period of more than 30 years from the 1940s to the 1970s.
This work features 170 carefully selected photographs of 25 temples, including their pagodas, gardens, and collections, as well as stone structures and stone Buddha statues. Included are 11 World Heritage temples, 40 national treasures, and 17 important cultural properties. Many of these are not normally open to the public.
