I'm not particularly prolific in this period. Neither as a job (in the sense of writing articles), nor on the blog. Nevertheless, some updating
not spoil. Tomorrow begins a
Italy-Japan workshop that I will absorb quite a bit. Many of the Italians are, however, from Singapore.
I was back to Kyoto for three days. You a wonderful city and autumn is at its maximum splendor. The leaves of the trees are bright red or golden yellow. To go this season is usually in the spring book.
I visited the temple Sanjusangen-do, with five of the goddess Kannon statues, each with forty arms. In front of the temple is held every year a competition of archery. In the past, each archer had to shoot for a whole day. The most famous of the participants have more body of thirteen arrows in twenty-four hours, more than one every ten seconds. About eight thousand people hit the target.
Also this temple was the scene of major battles of the legendary samurai Musashi. It destroyed a school of martial arts strength of duels. He later stopped using lethal force and continued to fight with sticks, regardless of the opponent's weapons.
I've been back to visit Ginkaku-ji, Kinkaku-ji and Daitoku-ji, and Kyomizu Eikan-do-dera. I saw Kodai-ji, but at night and I was very satisfied.
The last day I saw Tofuku-ji Temple and Fushimi-Inari in the south-east. Tofuku-ji has a wonderful garden full of colorful trees. Fushimi-Inari is a Shinto shrine dedicated all'aricoltura, where I saw the offerings of rice and sake. The temple is surrounded by statues of foxes and opposite a park. The walk around the park takes a whole day (and in fact I went back after about an hour) and is covered by thousands of ceremonial gates, just a few centimeters.
This should be enough for a small update. I will try to complete
