Kyoto Life
Literature京都人生
(japan) Washita Seiichi
There are many ancient temples and a weak view of history. It is closer to artifice and fiction than to nature. Passionate about funny and ridiculous things, there are strange people hidden in the streets and alleys. The unique structure has many holes and is connected to the "other shore". There are three things that are present in the old streets in the city but not in the new suburban ones: ancient trees, religious facilities, and quiet corners. These places are openings to the world... In Kyoto, such openings abound... It is a more metaphysical and charming city than what is depicted in movies and TV shows.
