Japan is an oasis of color and to some degree spectacle. Gilded Buddhas, Shinto shrines and gardens all add to the feast for the eye. Yamaguchi is about an hour and a half drive southwest of Iwakuni and is the capital of the local prefecture. Densely populated but with great centers that are park like. Went with Marc and Jeane, Jeane is leaving
Saturday and will be replaced with Janyce Beck. Some of the places we have been warrant a
second visit which Jaynce may enjoy.
The garden above was designed in the 16th century and is really quite serene.
This torii is of Shinto origin and was first built in the 6th century. It is "best seen" when the tide is in, but I thought this was an interesting view with the people wandering around on the tidal flat.
The Japanese sense of design is seen everywhere. This is from a mural in a street underpass.
