I'm not entirely sure what this is, but on this cold day it was covered in a layer of ice, so perhaps some kind of small pond or tank. Whatever its purpose, it bestowed beauty in its simplicity.

Nikkō Tōshōgū, Nikko, Japan

The intricately detailed, carved, and painted features and ornaments in Japan will never cease to astound me. I believe this particular fellow to be a dragon, though I say that with about as much confidence as they seem to be exhibiting. It's alright; you've got this, dragon - I believe in you.

Heute war ich in Ueno im Tōshō-gū Schein. Heute war es schön warm und sonnig. Nach einen kleinen Spaziergang im Park, bin ich noch zu Ameyoko gegangen und habe dort auch etwas gegessen. Eine leckere Reisbowl mit Thunfisch. Leider konnte ich nicht so viel unternehmen, da ich gerade Probleme mit meinem Knie habe. Es ist geschwollen und schmerzt.
