I've been to Kinkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, and Sanjuusangendou...all three places are amazing. But Shige has a gift with words, I think, for him to have written about them so beautifully. =)

"Boy, beauty is not restricted to things that shine."

It's good to know that Shige's managed to escape the influence of the Johnny's wardrobe dept. LOL

"It's really true that beauty depends on constant care. by the Kano sisters"

ROFL Did he really write that? Creative application of the Kano's "philosophy". XD

Thanks for translating!

Shige is wonderful. Someone who can write about the topic of beauty without it being shallow is a star in my eyes.
