Tourists will be crushing Kyoto this week as cherry blossoms come into bloom. I welcome the polite and appreciative ones, and when I need to escape, two wheels take me to beautiful places tourists seldom reach.

This is a black-crowned night heron, goisagi in Japanese. They have tremendous patience and wait absolutely motionless for the opportunity to snatch a fish.

The five levels represent earth, water, fire, wind and cosmos. There are no stories, just a bit of a crawlspace platform up a Ladder so that miyadaiku carpenters can access the central post and its ingenious mechanisms.

The 5 story Pagoda at Tōji, Kyoto is the tallest in Japan. It stood majestically beside the Rashomon (yes, that one) entrance gate to the capital, then known as "Heian."

I assure you, the blowing of conch-shell horns by priests is still a thing in Japan. Last month, as they do every January, Shugendō Yamabushi mountain ascetics (a syncretic religion) walked in rows around Kyoto blowing horns and wailing.

My MIL would save fallen red maple leaves and sandwich them between the paper layers in the shoji door.
