Post XI
Back from Japan.... it was depressing (grandfather's first year memorial) but the Buddhist chants were beautiful. I also visited Hiroshima and nearby Miyajima.... so overall it was a huge giant tearfest. I did see lots of beautiful jinja and torii, though. And I got to see my one and only cousin Kenji :D (who is addicted to the DS, and probably better at it than I am)
The depressing nature of the trip did not call for a lot of photo-taking, but here are some highlights! er, or something.
the Hiroshima Peace Memorial - one of the only buildings that survived the Atomic Bomb
Kintai-kyo (Iwakuni) at 8PM
Torii in front of Itsukushima Shrine. (on Miyajima)
aaaand as usual on trips I got absolutely no artwork done. Whopee......
