winter solitude-
in a world of one color
the sound of wind
冬枯れや 世は一色に 風の音

This time last year snow sprinkled a little bit of magic on the market✨🌨️
It seems far too warm for snow this year😔

Snow on To-ji's famous pagoda, the tallest in Japan. Monks hurry through the cold to a religious service at To-ji. A warm snack of taiyaki to hold off the cold. A statue of Kukai at To-ji gathering snow.

Snow sprinkled a little bit of magic on last year's January market✨🌨️

To-ji and its famous pagoda sprinkled in snow. Monks, brightly garbed against the dull snowy day, make their way for morning prayers. Taiyaki...a fish shaped waffle filled with bean paste. Food stalls are extremely popular at the markets. A statue of Kobo Daishi (Kukai) covered with snow.
