5th March 2009
Recently, old friends whom I shall call the Lake People visited Kyoto. Since I don't have an account at a photo-sharing website, I'll park the photos here for a few days.
Kitano Tenmangu shrine, home to about 2,000 plum trees.
At Misoguigawa in Pontocho. Sitting down to dinner together for the first time in 10 years.
Heian Jingu, where the plum trees are also in bloom.
Demonstration of how to put on a juuni hitoe at Shimogamo Shrine.
Sanzen-in temple, just before closing time. Monks busy with rakes and vacuum cleaners.
Making traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi) at Kanshundo because partings should always be accompanied by cake.
