A day spent in Kyoto was devoted to visiting several historic temples in observation of the intricate architecture that influenced many prominent figures, including Jørn Utzon with regard to certain elements of his Sydney Opera House.
Ending the day at nightfall with a casual stroll through the district of Gion, I captured two iconic images instantly added to my “Other Works” Gallery: “The Teahouse” and “Geishas of Gion”. The photographs as a pair would symbolize centuries of tradition preserved against modern day influence which is seen to be “the highlight of Japan.”
