Several things are happening here that I love:

1. Kanuma looking around nervously and Arima finding that bemusing. I'm pretty sure we know who Kanuma's nervous about seeing (*cough* suo *cough*).

2. Sako treating Inugami like an owner telling their dog to stay put if the dog wants to be rewarded with a treat. (also inugami is so much taller than i remember, sako's literally at chin height)

3. Togame and Choji. That's it.

Special mention to Gravel for Suzuri encouraging his team to loosen up and mingle around cuz they're all friends here + the fact that they are nervous means they feel guilty and they're in the prescence of people they went to beat up and ended up being given jobs by them. I think it's sweet.

Another shoutout to Roppo Ichiza for being cutie patooties. Otawa and Miyoshi especially.

May 26 - Kiyomizudera / Mindar at Kodaiji / Gion Tour

Freewriting

Today began like most, at 8 with a quiz. No breakfast bento today (earth shattering news, I know) and our class meeting was brief. We departed for Kiyomizu-dera by train and arrived after thirty minutes or so. As far as Buddhist Temples go, this one was pretty cool (my second favorite of the trip so far) and there was a lot to see and do.

The first thing we did at Kiyomizu-dera was walk through the temple's "womb" to become reborn. This entailed walking through a winding pitch black tunnel under the main temple by following a rope attached to the wall. At the end of the tunnel was a large rock that supposedly grants you a wish when you reach and touch it (the "womb" was actually a really fun experience, I didn't necessarily feel reborn though. The next section of the temple had a large singing bowl which I rang before praying to this section of the temple's kami. We observed the surrounding area of Kyoto from the hanging deck (famous for its nail-less construction) before moving onto the "Otawa Waterfall."

The Otawa Waterfall is not a waterfall but in fact three diverging streams of water, each of which corresponds to an unlabeled blessing from Kannon (goddess of mercy.) You are only supposed to drink from one of the three streams (although one of my classmates didn't seem to get the memo) or the goddess perceives you as greedy and grants you no blessing. This was a really fun experience and the cool water was refreshing after all the stairs!

After leaving the shrine, I briefly walked around Sannen-zaka and Ninen-zaka before grabbing lunch with some of the guys and Professor Smith! I had a margherita pizza (shocker) and some strawberry shaved ice while walking around afterwards as a sweet treat.

After lunch, we went to see Mindar, the "android" of the Buddhist goddess Kannon. The "android" gave a presentation on Buddhist ideals and its core teachings, accompanied by a cool light show and projected displays (however, the robot a little uncanny valley for my taste.) It was cool to learn about Buddhism and to see the contrast between the ancient Buddhist temple and this new Buddhist technological development.

After this presentation, we took a short walk to Gion where we walked around for a bit before attending a short Geisha performance. This area of Kyoto is not very tourist friendly (on account of inappropriate tourist behavior here in the past) and I definitely felt that in all the dirty looks that we received. After Gion, I returned to Stay SAKURA where I did laundry and relaxed before going out to dinner with Griffin (we got turned away from four different sushi restaurants before ending up back at McDonalds, at least we tried.) All in all, another eventful and fun day in Kyoto!

Academic Reflection

Todays first reading, derived from a Sekkyo-bushi meaning Sermon Ballads performance, was about the goddess of mercy, Kannon. This reading somewhat changed my pre-held perceptions of Kannon, as parts of this passage painted her as vindictive or even malicious (antonyms for mercy.) For example, Kannon acting to kill Shintokumaru's mother after she insulted the goddess or making lord Nobuyoshi's wife unable to bear children, on account of their actions from a previous life (destroying bird eggs.) To be fair, Kannon also showed mercy and kindness within the reading, such as when she provides Shintokumaru with the feather duster to cure his illness (which I felt was more in character.) I found it interesting to see both sides of Kannon within these excerpts. Kannon's influence can be felt all throughout Japan and I certainly felt it today at Kiyomizu-dera.

The second reading from today, an article titled “Enlightenment Geishas” was about the history of Geishas in Japan. More specifically, the Geisha "enlightenment" that has taken place in Japan in recent centuries. This "enlightenment" refers to the education of Geishas in traditional Japanese practices, marking a shift from being primarily sex workers, to being focused on family life and being productive mothers as well as members of Japanese society. At today's Geisha performance, this education in the arts and refinement was very evident. Both the performance and museum aspects of this excursion were extremely elegant and made me think of high society.

continuação desse chat com @erinwu

                                   ◜ "olha, aqui é muito bonito, mas lá é um bom equilíbrio pra natureza muito linda com uma cidade muito legal." tinha ficado realmente apaixonado pelo lugar e não era seu intuito ofender st. johns, como ela não era local, se permitiu ser bastante sincero, não fosse a necessidade de trocar de sede por mando da joja, teria ficado por otawa mais uns meses. "o pessoal estranha tanto assim? se bem que eu vejo o pessoal questionar bastante o fato de eu vir pra cá, só que eu acho que no meu caso, julgam a minha ganância." que não deixava de ser ganância mesmo, só estava ali porque ganhava muito bem para isso. "um segundo." pediu a ela quando foi atendido respondendo as perguntas para um cadastro e depois. escutou as opções, satisfeito. "você quer dividir uma pizza? não consigo comer sozinho, a gente pode ver um lugar em comum pra comer." tinha avisado para a tendente que ia falar com a sua companhia, via como uma oportunidade de fazer uma amizade. "quer ouvir as opções também?"
