Too much is never enough.
My friend Bonnie is in town from California (generously, she bought Kabuki tickets – not cheap – and I was amazed at how much fun it was) so I tagged along on her trip to Kamakura. I already have two Kamakura posts but damn, so much beauty I couldn’t help snapping a bunch more pictures.
She’s off to Kyoto tomorrow, but I’m still swamped – as I’ll detail in the next post – so no detailed commentary with this one. Just a repeat that Meigetsu-in is pretty damn spectacular. Also of note, I don’t think I’ve been to Hachiman-gu when there hasn’t been a wedding going on. Not the group picture, where one boy is wearing sneakers while all the other children are wearing formal footwear. I really want to know what that conversation sounded like.

March 31, 2014 at 5:44 pmLove those posts! But… Isn't there a gallery plugin kinda thing for your CMS? It's a bit of a pain to view all the images the way it's setup. Not a big deal, but it would be cool to be able to just browse through them 🙂

If I were tagging along, I probably would just sit there in hours and indulge myself in the environment and the view. And you also got the wedding photo of a family there — how they dressed totally reflects the fusion of east meets west. By the way, love how you captured the bags that the family was probably trying to hide away…bwahahaha, and I couldn't help but check out the IENA site — although I don't understand Japanese, but fashion is a universal language to girls…lol.

That cat was a temple cat, at Enryaku-ji. Looked very happy indeed.
