The map of today’s Kyoto printed on half-transparent tracing paper is
overlaid on the map of Kyoto from five different eras: Heian (794-1185), Muromachi (1336-1573),Azuchi Momoyama (1573-1603),End of Edo (1603-1868) and modern
times. Only a city like Kyoto which has a long history can provide such a historically fascinating opportunity.
