Here are some of the highlights from Katsura Imperial Villa. Despite being associated with the imperial family of Japan, the rustic informal approach in many of the buildings, especially the buildings located inside the strolling garden such as the waiting arbor and the gate structure we see here, often runs counter to the more formal approach to buildings of similar stature. The way in which the many different parts, their carefully chosen materials - often in their natural shape, form and finishes, come and join together really highlights the beauty of such building and the immaculate craftsmanship.
