Just a photo i snagged from one of my student's facebook. FB's great for snooping. Plus, since i stopped taking photos, pointing at ancient temples, and doing all sorts of other touristy stuff i can mooch a shot here and there. This is Meiji Shrine, a massive shrine in the middle of Tokyo's urban sprawl. It was dedicated to the Emperor of the Meiji period who pushed forward all of the efforts to modernize Japan, eliminate all of the samurai and shogun, and spawn horrible movies like 'The Last Samurai'. The kids are writing their wishes on wooden blocks to be burned during New Years.
a blog about movie back to the U.S. after a seven year hiatus in Japan. this was our life for the first year back from a little island to the big state of texas.
