The service is either so good it makes you forget the world, or it's just good advice :) It's good to go back to interesting articles, well done again!

I enjoyed the day out here and myself have enjoyed looking back on the photos many times. Some people say Kyoto is not a photogenic city, but photos of Kyoto always seem to capture the essence of Japan. Always enjoyable to reflect on good memories. Thanks for your comment.

He is wearing a pilgrim vest. The writing on his back says "Namu Daishi Henjo Kongo" which is a mantra for the Shingon Sect, expressing his dedication to the Sect founder Kobo Daishi (Kukai). I think he is on his tour of the 33 Kannon (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva) temples in the Kinki region (Saigoku Sanjusansho). Kiyomizu-dera is one of them (No. 16).

This was in mid 70's. I fell in love with this city. My memories of hikes in the northern hills and living as a poor student would are forever with me. In my heart it is my home away from home. I am now in Hillsboro, Oregon, about 20 miles east of Portland. The photos, wonderful, wonderful, the images brought back flashbacks. Thank you for catching what you saw and taking me back briefly.

I love these images. Reminds me of my trip there in May with my fiance'. It all seems so surreal now... As for the gentleman in the white in picture #15, I've seen similar markings on books and scrolls for people who try to travel to all of the major temples in Japan. Like stamps on a passport, I suppose. I'm not sure if he's leading a tour group or maybe he's on a pilgrimage? Thanks for the lovely images of Kiyomizudera. I spent my last day in Kyoto there, and loved ever second if it. Stumbled across this courtesy of a link in Twitter. I love these images. Reminds me of my trip there in May with my fiance’.
