Kyoto stuff

Prayers tied near the entrance

A good evening at the opening last night, lots of very interesting artists and several of the Japanese exhibitors live in England so there are plans to meet up in Blighty when we get back. We met up with the press today at the gallery along with Takazumi Uemura from Islington, an amazing photographer. We then headed off to the art gallery but as it was showing Czech film posters I decided to see the Heinan Shrine next door

I am managing to get by in Japanese, more by luck than judgement, I did get the word 'great' round the wrong way so that I was swearing at someone. I think I have been forgiven....
