For a long time, Kyoto was the main capital of Imperial Japan, being the main trading center and trading hub. The city saw the rise and fall of the Japanese empire with the arrival of a government guided by democratic aspects and is still a symbol of the culture of the Edo period.
Its structures are beautiful and the most refined derived from the Empire, the houses have the traditional tiles curved at their ends and the smoked yellow windows give the appearance that we often only see in movies, very different from what the great capital is and the best-known city today, Tokyo.
This painting represents the concept of the destruction of ancient concepts that were part of the capital Kyoto and the slow way in which its essence and uniqueness is being lost with the advancement of large centers, bringing the current culture as the main source of information in the country.
"Cultural destruction impacts physical aspects and concepts and that's where we can identify when a culture is about to be extinct."
