Japan I
July 16 - August 2, 2016
Arrival in Osaka
Boat on the canal around Osaka castle
Doutonbori street at night, Osaka centre
Cook on Doutonbori street
Lights on Doutonbori street
Meeting on the way to Nara's Todai-ji
One of them made this picture
This is the main reason for that picture, a deer and me
It wasn't the only deer, there were many between the temples and the tourists
For washing hands and mouth when visiting a boeddhist or shinto temple
Burning incense at the entrance
And beating a drum inside the temple
And finally, add calligraphy in your temple book
Woman in traditional clothing at the Kasuga Taisha, Shinto shrine, surrounded by hundreds of lanterns
Kinkaku-ji, a rebuild golden shrine in the middle of a quiet pond
Memory stones, I suppose, at yet another temple complex in Kyoto
Incense
Mural painting of a Japanese lady
Tasting the zenlike atmosphere in the Ryoan-ji, a temple with a rock garden
Sky in the scrapers
From the city to the woods, hiking from Magome to Tsumago
Landscape near Magome
Basket on the way from Magome to Tsumago, don't know anything about the purpose (help!)
Me near a waterfall
Rice fields
A game of stripes and shadows
Tokyo is our next stop, the city will host the Olympic Games in 2020
Tokyo Skytree
Painting in a mall near the skytree
Japanese dragons, meaning I'm near yet another temple
Tokyo bike
Tokyo art
Famous Shibuya crossing on a rainy day
A surprising slide in the middle of a cemetery
One of the highlights is the Tsukiji fishmarket, it has a special schedule for tourists
Preparing tuna fish
Irises, a painting fron Shinsen Tokuoka, 1939
Love this kind of peaceful Japanese drawings
Geisha in traditional clothing with a camera
