Hello from Tokyo! Weather isn't that great today, but the cherry blossoms have started to open. 🌸

Here is a photo I just rediscovered and am publishing for the first time, taken on my first Japan trip in 2006. Entering Enmyoji Temple in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture.

Happy weekend from Tokyo!

Made a brief visit to the local temple (南蔵院/Nanzōin) this morning, and could feel some positive energy flowing.

Hello from Japan! Going through a bit of a busy stretch, but trying to relax with a set of purification fountains at temples and shrines in the Tokyo area. Often, the faucets are dragon-shaped, and it is thought that using ‘water that flows from the dragon god's mouth’ enhances the cleansing effect.

Takasaki Byakue Dai-Kannon is a 41.8 meters-tall Kannon statue at Jigen-in Temple in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture. Approaching it is a long lane lined with Showa-era gift shops and restaurants.

Regen fällt gleichmäßig auf Holz und Dach.
Die Wege werden dunkler, die Schritte leiser.
Wir bleiben kurz stehen,
lassen das Wasser sprechen.
In diesem Moment wirkt Respekt ganz einfach:
zuhören, nichts stören, weitergehen.
