So, because I've been besieged with requests for these things (flattery gets you everywhere), I'm posting some pictures of my time in Japan. So much for those poetic, insightful entries I hoped for. Somehow the past few days have been terribly hectic, despite my achieving a total of absolute zero. Therefore, no posts. But I did get about half my film developed, so fasten your seatbelts.
Kana and Katy in the gardens adjacent to Himeji-jo.
Katy with her chu-hai in Nara at a superb okonomiyaki dinner.
Your humble servant.
Japanese schoolgirls are my heroes. I figure it's just a matter of time before I transform into one of them, especially since I put in some major practice time on my bashful yet shrieking laugh.
Maple trees looking absolutely stunning. When Katy and I went to the Daitoku-ji temple complex, they had this one small temple with an entire maple grove. Plus I love taking shots while lying under trees.
A Buddhist graveyard tucked quietly behind the Nanzen-ji temple complex. More on this later -- it was one of my favourite memories from Japan. A truly spiritual space.
This is the green-tea churning machine in Uji. You would not believe the fragrance!
Todaiji in Nara. They had a festival the day that I visited, replete with a grand pavilion and men in traditional costume performing some kind of dance with swords.
