SO yeah, everytime I breath I have a new oc but anyways: Sennin is a one of a kind merchant, he goes around the world looking for customers on top of his helper "Tanyu" who is like a giant secretary bird (yes, don't ask me about it) that carries his stand I like to think about Sennin like an spirit because of how fast he'll arrive when someone has the thought of buying something (?) To be honest he's most like a weird crow, colecting bright things or stuff he'll consider pretty

“It’s always a pleasure to see you, Ginko, and I’m glad you came by to say hello.” Tanyu stood up and leaned on her crutch. “I was recently brought some very delicious tea and cookies. Would you like to share them with me?”

“I’m glad to see you,” Tanyu smiled warmly at Ginko. “I was wondering if I would see you again this year. I hope you are doing well? Any interesting stories?” // Tanyu @ Ginko
@redlineoffate
Tumblr media
"Tanyu. It's good to see you too." Ginko replied. "Frankly, I don't have much in the way of stories but, I happened to be in the village and thought I'd say hello." He explained as he sat down.

The exploration continues...
July 5, 2023
Another great day and our last full with in Kyoto and with our group. We are staying in Kyoto but checking out lots of things in this amazing city. We started the day with a bus ride that went by the largest Buddhist temple complex in Japan. It went on for blocks. Truly we were several blocks into it before I finally decided that maybe I should be taking pics.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This complex is fully operational - FYI. Belief in any religion or philosophy is on the decline in Japan. Ken-san says the younger generation are too busy to be bothered - but I think maybe they are analyzing doctrine and thinking... WHAT?!?!?
Anyway - we are on our way to the Tenryuji Temple in the Arahiyama region of Kyoto. This is another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Partially what makes this place a World Heritage Site are the gardens and let me just say WOWZA!!!
Tumblr media
This section will just be pics because sometimes are there are no words...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And it just got better with bamboo forests and rivers...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have never seen a lotus field before this trip and now I have seen two.
Tumblr media
What a great way to spend a morning.
On next stop with the Nijyo Castle. Mark and I visited here in 2017 but that was long before we watch the Netflix series "Age of the Samuri" which had a heavy focus on Ieyasu Tokugawa. We HIGHLY recommend it!
From the website or Nijyo Castle:
Nijo Castle was built in 1603 by Ieyasu Tokugawa, the first shogun of the Edo Shogunate, to protect the Kyoto Imperial Palace where the emperor lived and to serve as lodgings when the shogun went to Kyoto. In the absence of the shogun, Nijo Castle was guarded by Nijo Zaban, samurai dispatched from Edo. In the era of the third shogun, Iemitsu, the interior of the castle underwent a large-scale renovation for the visit of Emperor Gomizunoo, and many paintings by Kano Tanyu were added to the Ninomaru Palace. By welcoming the emperor to the splendid castle, it made the world know that the rule of the Edo Shogunate was stable. In 1867 (Keio 3), the 15th shogun Yoshinobu expressed his intention to ``return the Imperial rule'' at the Ninomaru Palace, which is very famous in Japanese history. You can see the relics of the Momoyama culture that are still gorgeous after about 400 years, such as the Ninomaru palace, the Ninomaru garden, and the Karamon gate. Nijo Castle, which was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, can be said to be a valuable historical heritage that has witnessed the rise and fall of the Tokugawa family and the long history of Japan." (Again - no test - no worries!)
It was HIGHLY irritating that we could not take photos here - so I must depend of people who did NOT follow the rules and then posted them on the Internet to share what we saw. To review - these are not my pics but rule breakers on whon I depend upon...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rooms were quite incredible. The artist had never seen a tiger - but had seen a tiger skin - so they let their imagination go wild.
Tumblr media
Also the outer corridor made a squeaking noise with every step - like birds. It turns out that was a construction boo-boo BUT then they realized it could also be a serve as a "first alarm" if you will. They opted not to fix it.
The outside - where all the rule followers could take pics - was beautiful!
Tumblr media
After lunch we split up and Mark went back to the hotel. Anson and I journeyed on! (Crack ON!) This time to the Imperial Palace. So the Shogun palace was AWESOME - but the Imperial Palace was... Imperial?
This entire concept is a bit foreign to us. The Emperor is the big guy. He is a descent of the gods and as such is a god or a deity of a kami. BUT the Samurai are agents of the Emperor. The Samurai are either solid fall-in -ine supporters of the Emperor - or they are not. The Samurai all have armies - big ass armies and they are working to expand the kingdom of the Emperor or they are not. But the Emperor's palace it s place to behold.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Check out the roof. It is made of layer after layer of cypress bark. Here is an explanation:
Tumblr media
We also learned that the only heat in this castle was tiny coal fires. This - we were told - explains the many layers of clothes worn by the royal family. They were FREAKING COLD!
The gardens here were also amazing - even though it was pouring rain. We loved it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We returned to the hotel and had one more meal with our friends - before they headed home. Dinner was - no surprise - fabulous!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And with that - our main trip ends. We have been so lucky to travel with Bob and Evie Evans and Jim, Shannon and Maxine Fuhrer and Carol and Jay Gochin. Truly, we could not asked for a better group. Tomorrow they will head home, while Mark, Anson and I move on the Hiroshima.
How lucky are we?
Stay tuned. I am very close to catching up....
