A sense of calm pervades the city of Kyoto, located in the western heart of the island of Honshu, in the Kansai region. From gardens to temples, cherry blossom trees to wooden architecture, Kyoto's natural beauty is always on display. This tranquil identity is also reflected in the simplified approach to cooking, which enhances the pure flavour of premium ingredients. Kyoto's vibrant spirit is best experienced during the Gion Matsuri, one of Japan's biggest festivals. Parades of elaborate floats, called yamaboko, are moving art exhibits, showcasing exquisite local craftsmanship. The same attention to detail is found in the Japanese approach to architecture and interior design. While Kyoto's festivals are colorful and over the top, the ubiquitous design aesthetic is more restrained and simplified, letting the quality of the materials speak for itself and offering a break from busy city life. Through the pages of Kyoto Serenity, Japanese culture is put on display, exploring older traditions such as geishas, tea ceremonies and flowers.
