4 (more) views at Korakuen Gardens, Okayama – One of three “great, official, significant/something“ gardens in Japan built during the feudal Edo period. Saw turtles in cranes amongst the tea houses, bridges and trees.
Went to hear some old-timey music (recorded some audio “bootleg”) and celebrate Ryoko and Junko (m-in-l) with a pleasant stroll around the park. Stopped for tea and postcards (of course) and Ichiro was the star (of course). {oh i’ll add some snaps of him…}
Anyhow, ergo:
* trad rock zen space
* bridge over placid water
* “crow” castle yonder
* detail of temple roof
