<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Ishida Masaichi says: "is that only bamboo crafts can be started
from raw materials. It is very interesting to make it from scratch. It
is not very easy to do it yourself. It is uncomfortable to make things
for others. It is also uncomfortable. The sale of a hammer, the tool is
also very simple. It can be made into such a shape, not because of the
characteristics of bamboo, but by the craft, all rely on oneself." </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We really loved these beautiful bamboo art works and after we left we next decided to try famous Kyoto pickles at Daitokuji Pickles Shop "<span style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; vertical-align: inherit;">Daikouhonten"</span></span>. <span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pickles developed in Kyoto</span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">, are typical Kyoto vegetables</span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">,because this region was excellent not only for growing the vegetable, but also because the people of this area developed superb preservation technology for pickles. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The local people say that pickles are so popular because their culture is to produce these delicious vegetables just follows the blossoming season in Kyoto.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; vertical-align: inherit;">Inside the shop, we patiently waited for each customer to prepare a cup of tea and to select their favorite pickles from the many various kinds of seasonal pickles. Below you can see some of the many types of chopped and flavored pickles that we selected. WOW! What great selection to choose from and lots to take home to enjoy!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We have never visited such a beautiful and exciting market anywhere else in the world and we are already looking forward to visit again when we next travel to Kyoto. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What a fabulous time we had in beautiful Kyoto. We learned so much about Kyoto's historical past visiting the shrines and temples. We saw so much about the sights and sounds of modern day Kyoto. And of course we enjoyed the wonderful crafts, art and food that Kyoto has to offer. You really should plan on visiting Kyoto sometime soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It was so exciting to visit one of world heritage sites in Japan "Byodo-in ( <span lang="ja">平等院 </span>)"</span>, a very famous Buddhist temple in the city of Uji in Kyoto. This temple was originally built in 998 in the Heian Period as a rural villa estate of a high-ranking courtier named Minamoto No Shigenobu,
Minister of the Left. After he died, a powerful member of
the Fujiwara clan, Fujiwara No Michinaga purchased the property from the courtier's widow. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The villa was made into a Buddhist temple by Fujiwara no Yorimichi in 1052. The most famous building in the temple is the Phoenix Hall (鳳凰堂 Hoo-do) or the Amida
Hall which was built in 1053. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Th official name of this hall as </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Amida-dō</span></span> because it has a beautiful image of
Amida Buddha.</span> This main hall is the only remaining of the original buildings on this site. The other buildings were destroyed by fire during civil war of 1336.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Over the centuries, people began to be
calling the hall Hōō-dō, or Phoenix Hall, in the beginning of the Edo period. The main reason for this name is that the building looks somewhat like a
phoenix with outstretched wings on the sides and a tail the other reason of course, is the pair of phoenixes
adorning the roof.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We loved how the Phoenix Hall is surrounded by a scenic pond and beautiful trees. It is the main building </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">in Byōdō-in which is made up </span>of a
central hall, and there are identical wing corridors on both sides of the main hall, and there is also a corridor in the rear. The roof of the hall displays statues of the Chinese phoenix called<i> Hoo</i> in Japanese. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our photographer friend Takashi recommended that we purchase a </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Japanese Temple Stamp booklet so we can</span> collect stamps from the thousands of shrines and temples in Japan. It is called
the "Goshuinchou" which has a literal translation of "Honorable red-stamp
notebook". When you first visit any temple in Japan, you can buy a Goshuin
notebook at the
temple. The monk uses black ink to hand-write the name and date using
traditional Japanese calligraphy. He stamps your book with a
large red stamp that is unique to that specific temple. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At each temple that you get a stamp, you should donate
a few dollars around 500 Japanese Yen to the temple. Then you’re given
back the notebook with its beautiful black calligraphy and vermilion red
ink. By the
end of your trip you have this collection of original artwork that
literally traces your journey through Japan. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After Byodo-in tour, we visited another World-Heritage site "Ujigami-jinja Shrine". The shrine is a remnant of Japanese historical significance since it is the oldest shrine architecture in Japan. It is a tranquil place, located across the Uji-gawa River. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The
shrine is dedicated to an Imperial Prince who committed suicide to
solve a dispute over succession to the throne. This prince's brother
(who later became Emperor) and their father, are interred here in the
main hall within a series of three inner shrine buildings covered by a
common roof. The style of the shrine buildings is simple, and the
structures are ancient, making Ujigami-jinja Shrine a perfect place to
relax and meditate or simply reflect on life.</span></div>

as special souvenirs. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Teradaya Inn is located in the Fushimi district in the south east area of Kyoto. This was the scene of the so-called "Teradaya Incident." On March 9, 1866 the Teradaya inn was raided by Tokugawa
agents in an attempt to arrest or assassinate the anti-Tokugawa
activist, Sakamoto Ryoma.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ryoma
was saved by the quick thinking of his future wife Narasaki Ryo who ran semi-naked from her bath to warn him of the approaching danger.</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Though
injured on his hands by a sword, Ryoma escaped, though visitors can
still see a sword cut reproduced in one of the wooden pillars at the
inn as a symbol of his injury.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ryoma and his companion Miyoshi
Shinzo (1831-1901) managed to flee the inn and take shelter in a store
house near one of the canals in the area. Ryoma was later rescued by
samurai from Satsuma.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The original Teradaya Inn was burnt down in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi in 1868. The present building is from a later date.</span></div>

preparing to attack the Uesugi Jingsheng of the Echigo. His revered lord, Tori,
was ordered to guard the "Fujian Taoshan City". In the month before the
Battle of Guanyuan, the Tiancheng Sancheng army surrounded the city. After more than ten days of seige and battles, the temple guardians still lost almost 30% of its army. The blood of more than 300 soldiers flowed into the river and the surrounding wood which eventually soaked
into the wood. It is said that the stains in the ceiling in this part of the temple are the blood stains of those heroic defenders in this battle.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"> The Koetsuji Temple is located in the northwestern reaches of Kyoto near the Genko-an Temple. In 1615, Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu gave this area to Honami Koetsu, a famous calligrapher, ceramic artist and master of the tea ceremony. He established many new forms of Japanese art that touched the lives of many Japenese eople. After his death, they built a mausoleum to honor Koetsu. He was loved and admired by so many during the Edo period that in 1656 his Mausoleum was converted to the Koetsuji Temple.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As we walked towards the Imamiya Shrine, we came across two interesting restaurants known as Kazariya and Ichiwa Aburi-Mochi. They are across the street from one another. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Aburi-mochi is a delicious bite sized roasted rice cake, covered in flour and then placed on a bamboo skewer to cook over a traditional charcoal fire. After roasting, they are dipped in a sweet white miso sauce and served "hot" waiting customers. We had some wonderful tea while we waited for our aburi-mochi to be roasted for us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">T<span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">he Kazariya aburi-mochi is said to be the oldest Japanese confectionary

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Imamiya Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine in the north west part of Kyoto very close to the Daitokuji Temple. Imamiya Shrine is said to date from 994 and enshrines various Kami (God) including deities of long life, good health and match-making. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was established to ward off one of the many plagues that
affected Kyoto at this time period. The three main deities of the Imamiya Shrine
are: Okuninushi, Kotoshironushi and Kushinadahime. These three Kami's are associated with Kyoto's Izumo district which is in the present-day Shimane Prefecture.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On the second part of the Tsuru-World Kyoto Tour, we visited the</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Shokoku-Ji Temple <span style="background-image: none; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">(<span lang="ja" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">相国寺</span>)</span>, formally identified as Mannen-zan Shokoku Shoten Zenji<span style="background-image: none; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">(<span lang="ja" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">萬年山相國承天禅寺</span>)</span>. This Buddhist temple is also in northern Kyoto and was founded in 1382. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="st">lived from September 25, 1358 to May 31, 1408) and was the 3rd shōgun of the Ashikaga shogunate. This shogunate was in power from 1368 AD to 1394 AD</span>,
and he planned to build a large temple next to the mansion of his shogun
family called "Imperial Palace of Flowers". He started building the temple in approx. 1382 AD and in 1392 AD, the
project was completed.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 20px 0px; outline: currentcolor none 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This beloved
temple was totally devastated on several occasions from fires and wars with other feuding shoguns/warlords. Because this was such a revered temple, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shokoku-Ji Temple </span>was
rebuilt each time with the assistance and direction of famous Japanese such as: Tokugawa Ieyasu (Founder and 1st shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate) and </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Politician/General, (known as the 2nd "Great Unifier" of Japan)</span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The
grounds surrounding the temple were also destroyed, such as a 109m
tall Shichijyudaito (seven-story pagoda). Today, there is a five-story pagoda at To-Ji Temple that
is 55m tall. What we think is amazing is that the Japanese people of that era could actually design and build a wooden structure nearly twice the height
of the existing five-story pagoda. We were told that people believe
that the seven-story pagoda was struck and destroyed by lighting just a
few years after its completion. From the buildings on this temple site that remain today,
Hatto Hall was constructed in 1605. Most of the other buildings were
rebuilt in the 19th Century.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Hatto hall (法堂) has on its slightly domed ceiling a large painting of a dragon </span><span style="font-size: large;">“Banryu-zu (Roaring Dragon)”. The painting was done by Kano Mitsunobu (1565–1608 AD). The
dragon symbolizes the rain of Buddhist teachings. When clapping the
hands together, the sound reverberates between the slightly domed
ceiling and the paved stone floor, echoing throughout the hall as if it
was the thunder of the dragon. We love dragons and dragon lore so we found this painting was very special!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In 1900, the "Rengetudyaya Tea House" was opened as a shop of sweet
sake and hot spring relaxation. many years later, the family decided to offer their special tofu cuisine to their patrons and soon other it became the specialty of this tea house. It is now widely popular among other Japanese people from other prefectures as well as overseas
customers (like us). If you travel near Kyoto you should really think about visiting this very special tea house!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Togetsu-kyo Bridge has been a landmark in Western Kyoto's Arashiyama
District for over four hundred years, so we wanted to visit this site. The bridge is a wooden one, over 150 meters long, that crosses the
Katsura River, offering incredible
views year round. This famous bridge was named from Emperor Kameyama's reign from (1185–1333 AD). He was in awe that on a clear evening sky, it seemed that the
moon looked like it was crossing over the bridge. (The name
"Togetsu-kyo" is translated to mean "Moon-crossing Bridge"). <span style="line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px;">We were told that the original bridge was actually built in the Jowa period around (834~848 AD). </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another special fabric material is known as Koro-zen</span><span style="font-size: large;">, or
Forbidden color. It is a very old, secret dyeing method </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">(over1000 years old)</span>. This material is used
only Emperor's formal jacket (Ho) and was recently rediscovered and upgraded
by Mr. Okuda Yusai in Kyoto. Originally only one color was kin-cha, or yellowish brown. He now has learned to make other colors. There are two special effects that make this material so very unique. First, the
color will change by shining different lights on the material, and second, a red circle (sun) will appear
when a light comes from the back of the material.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Most people do not know that Kyoto has a reputation for some of the finest tofu in Asia, and certainly in all of Japan. To introduce us with this delicacy, Mr. Okuda made a reservation at a famous Shoraian restaurant that is nestled on the side of a mountain a short walk from the main
street. The location, food
and service at Shoraian contributed to one of the most wonderful meals
of our trip in Arashiyama, Kyoto. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After our delicious lunch at the famous Shoraian restaurant, we departed to our friend Isa Masayuki's art studio in Arashiyama. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;">At the studio, we had a hands-on experience learning typography in his workshop near Nanzenji. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;">Mr. Isa Masayuki is a famous Japanese painter and director/curator of the Izanda Gakko Reaearch Institute. This pattern research institute </span><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;">has been creating numerous patterns and designs since the 1950s. </span><span style="line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;">The members of this institute use traditional techniques of pattern painting to create both </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;">fresh, new patterns as well as very detailed delicate patterns. Some of their patterns are shown below.</span></span><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;"> </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;">We participated in a painting dye workshop and Mr. Isa showed us how to
cut out the paper pattern made of Japanese paper and persimmon juice
into whatever pattern we liked. We placed the cut pattern on our choice
of cloth or Japanese paper and then painted the dye from above. With our new patterns we were taught to make beautiful design towels, coasters or wrapping paper. It is so exciting for us to actually take our own </span><span style="line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">work home as a special Japanese souvenir.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our next stop on our tour of Kyoto, we went to the Joju-ji Temple which was originally founded approximately
1261 to 1264 AD, as a temple of the Risshu sect of Buddhism. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The temple fell into disrepair and decay
after the Onin civil war (1467 - 1477 AD). Over two hundred years later, a famous Zen Priest Tetsugyu restored
it in 1689 AD. Unfortunately, we were told that the temple burned
down several more times and was rebuilt each time. This resulted in the fact that very little of the original temple exists today. At the temple site, what is very
interesting is the maple covered alley that goes from the
street to the main hall. Obviously, autumn is the best time to see this
temple, and the new green leaves are simply beautiful. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We have had a superb trip to Kyoto so far, but there is much more to see and do. We ate at the Yata</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Restaurant which is a special hideout for stylish patrons in the Gion District. This restaurant is an old machiya style townhouse on a traditional stone-paved street in
Gion. (Very Cool!) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Yata’s first floor is a Japanese restaurant with an open kitchen
and a second floor is somewhat like a secret bar. We have a warm, cozy dinner after a busy trip from Arashiyama at Yata's and we talked about coming back again if we have the time. Yata has many special courses that you can taste during the four seasons of Kyoto.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Chef Kawashima not only provided us with a fresh, delicious meal but also showed us a warm welcome in the true spirit of Kyoto's hospitality.</span></span><br />

countries around the world protect their Intellectual Property by law
through patents and copyrights. The purpose is to keep others from
copying there innovation. Japan has taken this one step further by
establishing laws to protect their cultural property and heritage
treasures. One such heritage treasure that Japan protects under
cultural property law is the "Geisha".</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
history of Geisha in Japanese culture is considered an icon and symbol
of Japan's long history. My artist wife has a series artworks called "Nu
Women Expressionism". She paints many women from different culture
backgrounds such as Flamenco Dancers, Geisha and much more. One of her
large format oil paintings is entitles "Envy" (see above) and portrays an elegant
woman in a colorful kimono. This is truly one of my dearest favorites
in her portfolio.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kyoto is known as the historical former capital of Japan which has over a
thousand years history. There remain about one hundred Maiko, (apprentice
Geisha), and 250 Geiko, (mature Geisha). A Maiko is often young, under 20, and usually
starts her career as young as 15. She must spend many years learning and practicing all of the elements of being a professional and skilled in Japanese
traditional culture and entertainment. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both Maiko and Geiko go to a
special school to learn Japanese culture such as tea ceremony, flower
arrangement, Japanese traditional music and dance.
When we met Little Fan, her charm was her young spirit and sweet immaturity. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maiko's appearance emphasizes their youth by their politeness, dress, makeup and hair style. For example, they tuck their
sleeves in at the shoulder like a child. When they turn 20 and are able to show their skills in Japanese arts and service to their patrons, they become Geiko. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">During the training years of a Maiko, they focus their training in three areas. The first is
the formal Japanese arts training usually at special Geisha schools. The second is training in entertainment and skills to please their patrons. This training is often learned at special tea houses and parties. The third is the social skill of navigating the complex social web of Geishas.
This is done on the streets in Kyoto and consist of such things as formal greetings, presenting gifts, and developing relationships which are
crucial for a geisha to build the support network she needs to survive in her geisha career.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few years ago, my artist wife was so impressed by the beauty, textures, intricate patterns, silk fabrics and floral designs used in Japanese kimonos when we visited Japan on vacation. She admired not only the classic styles, but also the explosion and endless varieties of colors of kimonos and became totally inspired. When we arrived back in the USA, she decided that she wanted to use this inspiration in many of her oil paintings. "Kimono Dream" is one of her art works honoring the Japanese Kimono.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Kimono is a traditional Japanese garment. It was basically derived from the local Chinese Hanfuin the Wú
which refers to a region in China, around Lake Tai in
Jiangnan China.<span style="font-weight: 400;"> In ancient times, kimono originally meant simply
“things to wear”. It is now used almost exclusively to describe the traditional garments of
Japan. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There
are slightly different kimono styles for men and women, with
variation in form, color and pattern. You can see this in the above
photo. Since women’s kimono tend towards
brighter and more decorative designs, they have come to be seen as
pieces of art, both in Japan and worldwide. Kimonos were traditionally
made of
silk, and these precious items were often passed down to relatives for
generations. These family heirlooms were then reserved mostly for very
special formal and family occasions. These days it’s possible to find
kimonos in a variety of other materials such as polyester, cotton, etc.
which is less expensive and
easier to care for. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wearing a kimono is a complicated
process with many rules, which are important to understand and follow in order to keep it in
place while wearing it! Surprisingly there are NO zippers or buttons so cotton sashes and ties are
used to arrange the bountiful fabric into the standard
kimono form. It took us a few extra pairs of hands and a couple hours
before we were able to walk outside in this traditional Japanese style.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Today, kimonos are most often worn by women. Traditionally, unmarried women wore a style of kimono called
"furisode", with almost floor-length sleeves, on special occasions. Now in Japan, only a small percentage of older
women and even fewer men still wear the kimono on a daily basis. Men
wear the kimono most often at weddings or tea ceremonies, and very formal occasions. Professional sumo wrestlers are often
seen in the kimono because they are required to
wear traditional Japanese dress whenever appearing in public<sup>.</sup></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for reading our blog on Kimonos and we hope you enjoyed the pictures we took as much as we do. This part of our trip to Japan has given us priceless memories while wearing our kimono.</span><br />

We did not travel too much but we always wanted to go back to Kyoto and observe, learn, and cherish the historical cultures of Japan. Kyoto is the historical center of Japan's past. Kyoto is the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture located in the Kansai region of Japan. Most foreigners visiting Japan do not realize that Kyoto was the former Imperial capital of this country more than one thousand years from approximately 794 to 1227 when the Heian Palace was burnt down. The capital later moved to Edo, now known as Toyko.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We were invited to visit the Gion District of Kyoto because a friend, Baba Yuko, also known as Japan's Queen of Kimonos. She collects so many rare, expensive and beautiful Kimonos opened an antique Kimono rental company in the Gion central area. Yuko and her son, Takashi, a young photographer offered to give us a tour of the Gion District and the culture in this area. He agreed to take many of the photos as we toured the traditional culture of Kyoto.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On our list of things to see and do included: touring Zen Temples/Shrines and their tranquil Zen gardens, Kyoto's historical architecture, meeting Geisha and Maiko (apprentice Geisha), learning more about kimonos and of course enjoy the fine local and traditional food that this area has to offer.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We
stayed at a new 5 star hotel in Kyoto known as The Celestine Kyoto
Gion. What a beautiful, serene hotel and so close to many of the
tourist spots on our list. The service is wonderful, great relax in a
modern, Japanese atmosphere large public bath & Japanese garden and
so very convenient since they offer free shuttle service daily to the
Kyoto train station.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The famous Tower of Yasaka is <span itemprop="description">located at an important temple district called Higashiyama. Hokan-ji is between the Yasaka and Kiyomizu temples. This structure is commonly called the Tower of Yasaka. It’s a 46 meter high, 5 story pagoda with a tiled roof on each story. The Tower of Yasaka was founded in the 6<sup>th</sup> century Asuka Period and has been rebuilt many times after a fire and other historical events. The current Yasaka building was built in 1440 by Ashikaga Yoshinori. It has been designated as a very important cultural property in Japan.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Kyoto Ebisu Shrine was built in 1202, when Kennin-ji Temple was founded
across the street. Although it was built as the guardian deity of
Kennin-ji Temple, it became popular by itself among the people in town
as the local deity making their wishes come true – wishes include not
just success in commerce, but prosperous fortunes of family, travel
safety, etc.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Kyoto Ebisu Shrine is known as one of the country’s three most popular
shrines dedicated to Ebisu, one of the Seven Gods of Fortune. God Ebisu was considered as the patron of both business people and fishermen alike. Images of Ebisu’s festive and jolly
figure with his well known fishing pole can be found throughout the
grounds. Located just south of the Zen temple Kennin-ji, this Ebisu
Shrine is <i>the</i> place to be during the January Tōka Ebisu
festival, when business owners from all over Kyoto and other Japan districts gather in the hopes that
the shrine’s lucky bamboo will bring good fortune and prosperity to their
enterprises. </span><br />

to visit and sight see on our list. Of
course we love to eat good local food, shop for gifts and souvenirs, explore
China’s ancient history in modern days, and have fun along the way. The Jinli Street shopping district and the
Wuhou Temple was a perfect place for us to stop on our vacation with our family.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">During the Three Kingdom period, there were three Chinese
states in this area known as the Wei, Shu and Wu. (See map above courtesy of an image from the internet). All three were powerful kingdoms ruled by
their own emperor each with strong minded warlords. In the early years, it was a chaotic time
with numerous wars, infighting among various warlords and internal power struggles. It was a bloody time in China’s history and a
large percentage of the population died during these years.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Somewhere around 220 AD, Jinli Street became one of the
busiest commercial areas for the Shu Kingdom.
This area has survived for many, many hundreds of years to the current day. This famous and historic
area was finally restored and reopened to the public in 2004.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">JinLi Street is not a place to buy ancient treasures. It is a modern shopping area for modern gifts
and souvenirs, as well as a fun place to explore, be entertained, and have
fun. We found many small shops, with
beautiful gifts to buy, as well as a number of small stalls with artisans working
their crafts and even puppeteers putting on performances for the young and old
to enjoy. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The WuHou Temple was built for Zhuge Liang, the Marquis Wu
of the Shu Kingdoms during the Three Kingdom period of time. This famous noble person was loved by so many
people of his time for being honest and trustworthy with high degree of
intelligence that solved many of the problems which people faced during this chaotic time. Many memorials have been built in his honor but
the most famous one is the Wuhou Temple in the southern part of Chengdu, China.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a huge temple area covering almost 400,000 square
feet. When it was built, it was built next to and later combined with the
temple of Liu Bei, the emperor of the Shu Kingdom. The current temple was rebuilt and restored
in the 17<sup>th</sup> century.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">To get there from downtown Chengdu, you can take any of the
following Chengdu public buses including number: 1, 57, 82, 334 and 335 and then get off at
the Wuhouci Station. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can also get there by taking the Chengdu Metro line #3
and then exit the Metro line at the Gaoshengqiao station. From the station, it
is only about a 5 minute walk to the Temple by walking east along Wuhouci
Avenue. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The cost to tour the temple is
only 60 RMB and the temple is open to visitors from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. I suggest you plan on about 1 to 2 hours time
to see everything at the Temple and to take lots of pictures.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When we visited Chengdu China, we heard a lot about the
famous Chinese Poet, Du Fu and his Thatched Cottage park and museum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Du Fu is known as one of the greatest of all
Chinese poets and he lived from 712 AD to 770 AD during the Tang Dynasty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Thatched Cottage park and museum is on a 24-acre site located on the western
parts of Chengdu City in the Sichuan Province of China. This famous poet was truly honored in 1961 when
the Chinese government made this park a National Heritage site.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am an avid collector of worldwide postage stamps, and I
have a number of stamps depicting the image of this famous poet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Du Fu was raised and trained at an early age
to become a civil servant and follow his father’s footsteps, his greatest life
ambition. But with the deadly Lushan Rebellion of 755 AD, he fled for safety
and eventually headed to Chengdu in December 759 AD. It was at this time in his
life that he began to develop his talent for poems and also wrote poems as a
means to make money and survive.</span></div>

Irrigation System is a one of a kind flood control method unlike the more

River, the longest tributary of the great Chinese Yangtze River, is situated in
Dujiangyan City, Sichuan, China.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
winter snow melt run off would flood the river valley causing much
devastation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So King Zhao of the Qin
Dynasty directed the Governor of Shu, Li Bing, to solve the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the spa,
there were so many options to choose from facials, body wraps, and various types from the Six Senses Daoyin Tao massage to the Thai herbal full body
massage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We picked the full body massage
that used warm herb treatments applied to specific pressure points to condition
our muscles, skin and this in turn gave us a relaxed feeling and a sense of invigoration
and warmth.</span></div>

attractions on our trip from Chengdu to the Valley. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">In 2008 a great earthquake measuring 8.0 hit Sichuan Province and much of the town of Wenchuan was destroyed. Over 69,000 people were killed by this earthquake and almost 375,000 were injured. Over 4.8 million Chinese people were left homeless by this disaster. Wenchuan is located about 50 miles West-Northwest of Chengdu. It is now being rebuilt so we stopped to take a photo!</span></span></div>

specialty is Skirt meat but they offer much more including Pork Belly, Ribs of Beef,

traveled the globe and on my travels to feel refreshed and invigorated during
my personal and business adventures, I have taken the time to enjoy a good foot
or full body massage in many cities and countries such as: USA, Taiwan (Taipei, Tainan, YiLan), China (Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Suzhou, and others), Singapore, and many more.
Because many of these businesses provide a good service, there is not so
much to talk about in a travel blog. </span></span></span></div>

Masseuse and my wife’s (Zac) are very skilled.
Silvia is 28 years old, and actually spent a few years in Australia, and
I seem to recall she mentioned Brisbane, which is the second largest city in
Australia. Since we like this spa and
enjoyed our massages so much, we went back several more times during my stay in
Taiwan. They currently are offering
great discounts to all new customers, so make an appointment or just stop by
soon before they discontinue their special pricing.</span></span></span></div>

Ok, I want to tell you just how special this total set menu
meal was, and why I think this is one of the best restaurants in Taipei.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They started by serving us excellent bottled
water (no gas) and not just tap water!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They then brought out small tubs of real French ECHIRE butter for each
of us, and not just ordinary butter in a pad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their bread was fresh baked and hot as they served it to us at the table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first was a rosemary and herb bread and
the second was a garlic and herb bread.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Both were delicious to eat as the French butter melted on the top.</div>

The Assorted Tomatoes Salad with Burrata Cheese and Serrano
Ham sounded wonderful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Burrata Cheese is
a special Italian cheese made from Mozzarella cheese and cream and it was
fabulous and was a perfect match with the tomatoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Serrano Ham is a cured and air dried Spanish
ham similar to the Italian Prosciutto Ham.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The eight tomatoes were
all cherry size, and included a green, yellowish, dark purple and the rest were
deep red ripe tomatoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each one was
very tasty with a wide range of sweetness and acidity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The combination of each tomato, the cheese
and ham was HEAVENLY delicious!</div>

hand poured the pumpkin soup into my bowl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

dressing and the Passion Fruit yogurt dressings with our salads, and these
dressings are fabulous…..absolutely wonderful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If the Burger Lab. sold the dressings by the bottle, I would have bought
several of each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even the fries tasted

So if you take a close look, both the beef and the bun is black, as is the special sauce. I am told that they make ALL of there bread fresh in the hotel, and this black bun has bamboo charcoal powder added to the grain to give it the special black color. NOTE: This burger comes with two beef patties, but I ordered only a single patty.....<br />

This bun was soft and very flavorful and it was a great addition to the sandwich. In addition to sauce, they add grilled onions, grilled yellow and green zucchini, soft dried tomato slice and BLACK BEEF! I found out that the chef actually uses a small amount of black squid ink to the beef to give it the color, but I could not taste it at all. It was simply a delicious thick beef patty! This is a limited time ONLY item, so go their soon to sample this great sandwich.<br />
<br />
I also tried another special side dish baked potato. They thinly slice the top and add cheese, lite tomato sauce and a sprinkle of ground beef and parsley. This baked potato was moist and tender inside and baked just the right amount. I wish they had some sour cream to add on top!<br />

I also learned that they try to add at least three different salads and/or vegetables every day. Today they had a salad topped with bacon slices and the one I chose had radicchio and romaine lettuce with clear noodles, Chinese celery sticks, and chunks of fresh apple and guava fruit. Of coarse, I added the passion fruit yogurt dressing on my salad. I also took pictures of all their dressings and condiments. This time I also noticed an array of many herbs and spices you can sprinkle on your burger, fries or salads. One special one I tried was a plum salt on my salad. Very wonderful taste.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dr. Huang told me that at this resort, the water underground
reaches 98 degrees centigrade, most of the water above the ground is over 40
degrees Centigrade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, it is cooled a
little to about 36 degrees centigrade for the customers comfort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said the ph factor of the water is about
1.2 (very acidic)and the water contains radium, much higher than most other
radium hot springs in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other
hot springs in the Beitou District of Taipei have a very small amount of
Radium.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also said that there is only
trace amounts of sulfur in these area springs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The hot springs at the Emperor Spa has many healing and good health
qualities, and Dr, Huang pointed out that most people that use these spas on a
regular basis have great young looking skin.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Besides Radium, there are also the following minerals in
these waters: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Lead, Sulfate, and
others.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those radium hot springs in Japan have concentrations of
about 1.41 while here in the Emperor Spa it reaches 5 to 7.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also went on to explain that they have
found radium isotopes from Ra224 to Ra227 in the area which is somewhat
radioactive, but fairly stable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That being said, they did bring us fresh, clean hot spring
water to taste. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water looked crystal
clear and was both salty and very acidic to the taste.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please see the photo.</div>

On our latest trip to Taiwan at the end of August, 2016, we had the great opportunity to try a new Japanese restaurant that many people are now talking about in Taipei. We had dinner on September 3, 2016.</div>

In the USA, I always look for Japanese restaurants that offer fresh toro shsuhi, because it is my favoirte sushi. In Sunnyvale, CA I ordered and ate 16 pieces of toro sushi one night and ever since then my Japanese name has become "Toro san". I found a superb restaurant in Taipei that offers amazingly delicious toro sushi and fresh Japanese food,,,,,,Tomi's Japanese Cuisine!</div>

I do not know how to describe the taste of this beef, but it
some of the very best I have ever had in my lifetime, even better than some
very expensive Kobe Beef. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The beef is finely
“marbleized” so that when cooked, the beef becomes so juicy and tender that the
beef almost melts in your mouth but also tantalizes your pallet for more great
beef. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a truly wonderful eating experience if you love fine
beef.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You just have to visit Kanpai
classic and try it your self…..you won’t be disappointed…. you’ll be in heaven. For Me, this was a 6 star dining experience.</div>

On the way through the North and Central areas on the
island, we stopped at a very unique coffee plantation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This plantation produces one of the world’s
most expensive coffees known as Kopi Luwak or civet Coffee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These coffees can have retail prices reaching
€550 / US$700 per kilogram, and over US$1,100 price for the Black Ivory coffee.</div>

In Bali, the ripe coffee berries are picked and fed to Asian
Palm Civets that part-digest coffee cherries eaten and defecated by the
civets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The civet eats the cherries for
the fleshy pulp, then in the digestive tract, fermentation occurs. The civet's
protease enzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free
amino acids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Passing through a civet's
intestines the cherries are then defecated with other fecal matter and collected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While thinking about the way this coffee is
produced, I was not so interested to even try a sip, let alone buy this
expensive coffee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, when the sample
was free, I must say, this was very special and delicious rich aroma coffee!<br />

The habitats at this bird park are very natural, clean, and some of the best I have ever seen. At many exhibits, you have to take your time to find the birds roosting in the foliage, nesting, or just walking the habitat. Yes, they do have many talking birds at the park!<br />

It is said that there are over 10,000 Hindu shrines and
temples on this small island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of
them date back over 1000 years, such as the Mother Temple of Besakih which is
the most important, the largest and holiest temple in Bali. With so many puras,
Bali in Indonesia is also known as "the Island of a Thousand Puras". <br />
<br />
Along our Island travels, we had the chance to visit many
Hindu temples including the Ulu Watu Temple along a high cliff that is
inhabited by wild monkeys (which will steal visitirs possessions if you are not
careful), the island temple Pura Tanah Lot, Ubud Monkey Forest which has three
(3) different temples <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on the forest
grounds, and many other small temples which we stopped to visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seeing the architecture, carved stone statues
and temple structures (such as the gates) were just very wonderful <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and special experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we walked through the inner grounds of the
temples, we had to wear wrap around skirts to cover our legs.<br />

On the way back to our resort from Mount Batur taking a different route, we again saw many local villages and artisan shops. It soon started raining and in minutes, the rain turned into a tremendous downpour that almost instantly flooded these narrow village roads. At times, it almost felt and sounded like we were under a huge waterfall, and not simply some full rain clouds. It was exciting. By the time we got near our Resort, the rain stopped, the air was clean and fresh smelling, and soon you could not even tell there was a massive rain storm on the island! </div>

If you enjoy a peaceful and tranquil vacation while you
explore this fascinating Island and its rich Hindu culture, Bali should be on
your vacation Bucket List!</div>
