These stones have Japanese Kanji written on. I found this one in a temple just by a pagoda containing Buddhist sutras. I`m not sure if they are written by the monks or by the locals and tourists who flock to this beautiful temple. !

Kinkakuji in Kyoto, Japan. Golden Pavilion Temple. It was originally built in 1397 to serve as a retirement villa for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, as part of his estate then known as Kitayama. His son converted the building into a Zen temple of the Rinzai school. The temple was burned down twice during the Ōnin War. The Golden Pavilion, or Kinkaku, is a three-story building on the grounds of the temple. The top two stories of the pavilion are covered with pure gold leaf. In 1950, the pavilion was burned down by a monk, who then attempted suicide on the hill behind the building. He survived, but during the investigation after the monk’s arrest, his mother was called in to talk with the police; on her way home, she committed suicide by jumping from her train into a river valley. The monk was sentenced to seven years in prison; he died of illness during his imprisonment in 1956. !

The sun in Asakusa, Japan. The famous for the Sensō-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon. It is Tokyo’s oldest temple. According to legend, a statue of the Kannon was found in the Sumida River in 628 by two fishermen, the brothers Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari. The chief of their village, Hajino Nakamoto, recognized the sanctity of the statue and enshrined it by remodeling his own house into a small temple in Asakusa, so that the villagers could worship the Kannon. The blessings of the Kannon gradually received a high reputation throughout Japan, and people near and far flocked to Asakusa to venerate the statue. During World War II, the temple was bombed and for the most part destroyed. It was rebuilt later and is a symbol of rebirth and peace to the Japanese people. In the courtyard there is a tree that was hit by a bomb in the air raids, it had regrown in the husk of the old tree and is a similar symbol to the temple itself. Just an intentionally underexposed shot done in black and white. /

Miyajima, on of the most beautiful spots of Japan. An island of the coast at Hiroshima (more or less). Most famous for its floating torii. It’s a sacred island with many shrines and temples. We discovered one shrine filled to the brim with sculptures and one I saw this pattern of praying priests, tell me, how could I not shoot it? More Japan / / /

this was done with no editing or post processing. pink gelled flashes to the temple gate. blue gelled LED flashlight to the path. a homemade portable cold cathode behind the subject. I was experimenting with a new light source in this image. I have never used cathodes before. The light was intended for car interior decoration. I cut off the cigar lighter plug and attached my own 12v power source and a switch. I am very happy with the result and hop to make some new colors…..
