5,000,000 Steps in Kyoto by Yutaka Senoo, Maria Shobo, 1997 Description 5,000,000 Steps in Kyoto is a captivating photo book by renowned Japanese photographer Yutaka Senoo. Born in Okayama and raised in Fukuoka, Senoo pursued photography at the age of 40 while working as a company employee in Osaka. His passion for capturing candid moments of everyday life is evident in this collection. The book features 128 monochrome photographs taken over four years, as Senoo walked through the streets of Kyoto with a pedometer, accumulating a total of five million steps. Unlike typical portrayals of Kyoto as a tourist destination, Senoo's lens focuses on the people and their lives in the alleys and corners of the city. His street snaps reveal the warmth and humanity of Kyoto's residents, capturing the essence of daily life in the ancient capital. This book is a testament to Senoo's belief in the beauty of urban landscapes inhabited by people. 5,000,000 Steps in Kyoto is not just a photo book; it is a journey through the heart of Kyoto, offering a unique perspective on the city's vibrant street life. It is a must-have for anyone interested in street photography, Japanese culture, or the art of capturing fleeting moments in time.
