Teacher
The master smith lectures on the qualities and composition of the Japanese sword. He made the quadrangular chalk drawings in front of him to represent cross sections of a katana. The internal geometries represent different areas within the blade that have different qualities, hardnesses, compositions etc. A lifetime must be spent to master this art, and I was fortunate to have a days lesson with this gifted man.

Kiyomizu-dera By Night
Kiyomizu-dera is an unspeakably stunning Buddhist temple founded in 798 in Kyoto. It is perched on a Mountainside overlooking the sparkling town of Kyoto below. A spotlight beam streaks across the sky above and right, while the early cherry blossoms begin to emerge below. Legend states that if you jump from the balcony seen in the photo, and survive, the rest of your life will be blessed and lucky.

The master smith lectures on the qualities and composition of the Japanese sword. He made the quadrangular chalk drawings in front of him to represent cross sections of a katana. The internal geometries represent different areas within the blade with different qualities, hardnesses, compositions etc. Note also the still glowing steel ingot in the lower right corner. A lifetime must be spent to master this art, and I was fortunate to have a days lesson with this gifted man.

Tori Gates By Night
The Tori gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, form a 4 km path up Inari Mountain. Passing through the gates loosely represents passing from a material to a more spiritual world, and similar, though less elaborate, gates are often found at the thresholds of other temples. This photo really has a sense of a spiritual path, framed by the other worldly gates, traced by the lighting on the path and series of lanterns, and emerging into the inviting green world beyond.
