Following the pattern of Kodanshas popular Kyoto: Seven Paths to the Heart of the City, Tokyo: Exploring the City of the Shogun reveals the hidden, traditional side of modern-day Tokyo. This charming, full-color book serves as a gorgeous photographic journey through Tokyo and a unique guide to the old districts of the city, including the haunts of the shoguns samurai in days past. Author Enbutsu fondly relates the history of the shoguns Tokyo as she guides readers through some classic, often unknown sites.
