However, Kamakura is a small cos- mopolitan city as well, where intellectual and artistic groups flourish, and where in the neat neighborhoods are seen the many line homes of the wealthy. In Summer this city, with both delicate Japanese forests and the sea close by, is an ideal resort. Kamakura, once the site of a powerful, ruthless ruling dynasty, is in many ways Japan. ln the mild spring, it is ornamental with cherry blossoms. The year round it is the site of the fabulous Daibutsu, or Great lluddha. In the hot oppressive summer, it is a seaside escape and summer resort for the wealthy whose homes serve an ornamen- tal and practical purpose. However, it is still Japan since its beaches teem with the escapees from hot and humid Tokyo. .lag 4 i
