Shukkei-en’s (縮景園) Seifukan (清風館) (Japanese tea house in Hiroshima)
Everything, except for one tree, in Shukkei-en was wiped out by the atomic bomb in August of 1945. In 1964 this tea house was built in the same place and style as its predecessor that had existed from the 17th to the 20th Century.

Japanese lady in Shukkei-en (縮景園)
A Japanese girl was going through a photo shoot in full kimono in Hiroshima’s Shukkei-en (perhaps for her coming of age or seijinshiki or 成人式). My self-appointed personal guide asked the photographer if I could take some photos of her too, and they were all too happy to oblige. However, the model’s smiles all looked a little forced and unnatural in the dozen or so photos I took. I took one of her mom watching her daughter have her picture taken and found her smile to be far more genuine.
