Photomerge from Japan
Several panel shoji inside Kyoto’s Ninnaji
I apologize for not posting more from my adventures in Japan recently, but that’s what happens when you are somewhere else, away from home, and it isn’t Japan.
Today’s random, desktop background is a 4-photo photomerge of the decorated 障子 inside 仁和寺. The temple has been around for more than 1,100 years, but I’m guessing this is a more recent creation. I probably took this photo because the handles on two of the shoji give the appearance of the tree having eyes.
Temizuya (手水舎)
My random, desktop image of the day comes from four summers ago in Fukuoka, Japan.
Kushida-jinja (櫛田神社)
My random, desktop image of the day is from four years ago this month.
Sukiyaki
Sukiyaki (すき焼き) @ Miyajima’s Iwaso (岩惣)
#宮島
When you stay at a nicer inn in Japan, dinner is frequently included in the price. At the fancier places the meal is usually a kaiseki (会席料理) affair of mostly seafood. I’m not a big fan of seafood (although I have enjoyed it to some extent in Japan). So when I booked my room at Iwaso I requested a mostly non-seafood dinner, if possible, even though seafood is the norm. To my utter amazement, sukiyaki (my favorite dish anywhere) was part of the meal.
