🎋BRILLIANT BAMBOO🎍

Poor Atsuko-san had a 5am wake up call for a photo shoot in Arashiyama.
The early bird catches the worm, and the early morning photographer may well catch the bamboo groves peaceful and empty.

The sun rising beyond the bamboo was worth the sleepy start.

In Japanese the phrase "hayaoki wa sanmon no toku" (早起きは三文の徳 "waking up early gets you 3 mon") has the same meaning as "the early bird catches the worm"🪱🐦

Mon (文) was a unit of currency used in the Edo period (a bowl of simple soba was about 16 mon)🪙

The bamboo groves of Sagano (嵯峨野竹林の道) may be world famous, but there are many -equally gorgeous- places to see bamboo forests in and around Kyōto.

Mukō (向日市), a short train ride from the city, has a whole park dedicated to bamboo!
