(8th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~The Gaze of Tourism~”
From the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of the early modern period, what we now call “landmarks” appeared. Kyoto came to be seen as a city full of these “famous places”, and shrines and temples became the center. Media that invites you to “famous places” also appear one after another. It is a pilgrimage mandala, a map of the Rakuchu Rakugai, a description of the landmarks, and a guide. While introducing such media, we will trace the development of “famous places” and the spread of travel, using Kiyomizu-dera Temple as a typical example.
