Art in Yushima Seido

湯島聖堂 (Confucian temple Yushima, Bunkyō, Tokyo, Japan – 2010)

More than 10 years have passed since we lived in Japan for a year. 2020 is the year in which every day seems the same. 2010 was far from this reality. Every day was different. Take the day I took today’s photo for instance. I probably wasn’t teaching, and the weather was not good. So I got on the train, rode it to a station I hadn’t gotten off of before, and then roamed the neighborhood–discovering new places and eating at new restaurants.

I wandered into a Confucian temple called Yushima Seido where many art pieces were on display, most getting wet in the downpour that was happening.

Sorry, I don’t have the name of the piece or the artist’s name. Now I know better and take a photo of the name of the work and artist whenever I shoot a piece of art.

“I got a crush on a pretty pistol
Should I tell her that I feel this way?
Father told us to be faithful

I got a crush on a pretty pistol
Should I tell her that I feel this way?
I’ve got love songs in my head
That are killing us away

Do you love your guns? Yeah
god? Yeah
The government?
Fuck yeah”

Ryan Mountain Trail

Joshua Tree National Park (California)

Two minutes into the Ryan Mountain Trail, if you take a look over your right shoulder, the above will be your view. The rock, on the right, obscures the trailhead parking lot.
