My name is Jon and I live in Los Angeles. I've visited Japan a lot so that's what this blog is about...visiting Japan, Japanese history and samurai movies.
Daibutsu, Kamakura
Daibutsu in Kamakura, June 2010. There were thousands of school kids visiting that day. It was still great fun.

Nice Japanese Gate
Another gate I found in Otawara, Tochigi-ken. I really like this one because of the natural cut wood on the front of the gate. The gate enters into a very small entry way garden which I also like.
I've spent the last couple of days demolishing two old wooden lanterns that were out in front of the hostel. They were huge...I want to clean up and free the space in front and on the path to the river.
While I am working, I keep planning in my head what kind of gate it will have in front when it's all done.
All these gates look amazing that it would be hard to choose just one :)

I know. Someday when I have a house here in LA I will build a gate like this.
ReplyDeletehaha... nice timing on a "gate" post.

Oh cool. Do you have any ideas? I posted a few photos of gates here.
ReplyDeleteNow that would be awesome to have here at a house.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I would put that at my house too.
