Ridiculous Kyoto Loveliness

Posted on 3:59 AM by Unknown
This week of spring and sakura in Kyoto, especialy Kiyamachi between Shijo and Gojo, is so ridiculously beautiful that I want to photograph all of it, but I know it wouldn't translate.

Right now Kyoto makes the most anorexic girl's piddling knees plump and comforting. The swarm of bugs pestering your eyes and mouth are just the foreground; loveliness is thick. The breaks on old ladies bicycles sound like Van Morrison laying it down. It is a well staged opera.

Gosho Hanami

I can't believe how well the photos from Sunday's hanami at Kyoto Gosho turned out. I think it must have been the excellent weather and the light.

It wasn't my favorite hanami ever, but it was good enough. How beautiful is this???

I recommend hanmi at Gosho. There are a lot of people, but it isn't really crowded.
