Kyoto: The Spirit of Japan

       Kyoto was the capital of Japan for over 1000 years, and is home to a major urban-industrial region. Kyoto literally means "capital city". From 794-1868, Kyoto was the site of the imperial family's residence, giving it it's historical importance. This city has always been a major Kabuki supporter, and still is today. Geisha's have been playing Kabuki for centuries, dancing and playing shamisen. The Kyoto district has been producing famous Geisha's since the 600's. By the pictures I've shown, you can easily see the beauty that Kyoto has to offer.
