Assouline's Kyoto Serenity presents over 200 photographs across 312 pages in a 25 x 33 cm hardcover weighing 2.27 kg. Its large-format pages give the imagery room to unfold, while serif literary quotes sit between the spreads. The 25 x 33 cm format gives each spread a broad canvas, and the hardcover adds a solid feel in the hand.

• Coverage of Zen gardens, tea ceremonies, Gion Matsuri floats and neon street markets gives readers a broad view of Kyoto's contrasts
