Saturday morning october 7th, 2006. Tokyo Station.
Super fast Shinkansen Nozomi to Kyoto. Two and a half hour traveling.
In Japanese traditional architecture the transition of interior to exterior is really diffuse.
Paths require attention when walking on them. On arriving somewhere the image will be a surprise when you look up again. That's why paths are made that way. They clean your perception so you will watch with a fresh view to the next beautiful thing.
Japanese breakfast in the Ryokan, a Japanese style inn. One of the students is having her birthday today.
Professor dr. Geeta Mehta and her student assistent Hiro. Geeta Mehta is fromIndia, studied at Columbia University in New York and currently lives in Tokyo. She works in Tokyo, India and the US and has published beautiful books on Japanese homes and interior design.
Some student apparantly had a hard night.
As for the long weekend many people were out. The dear were not that cautious as we are used to.
This temple (the largest wooden structure in the world) is the home of the biggest Boeddha in the world.
Professor lost her voice. We had to read the travel guide aloud.
One of the guards is watching a model with disgust? Poor architect.
Gates of temples have considerable thresholds. Also here the purpose is to draw your attention to your feet making you look up again with a fresh view to a surprising new image.
No worry, nothing wrong with the settings of our screen. Colours are really bright here.
For wishes and messages.
