Nagoya

Some pictures from a recent trip to Nagoya via Shinkasen, aka "the bullet train". Nagoya castle is one of the most famous in Japan. There were beautifully designed flower trees, reminiscent of the bonzai as well as other floral displays.

Christmas has grown in popularity over the years in Japan. Here are some intersting light sculptures that were on display outside the Hyatt Regency.

wow. i really like the light displays that you photographed. i want to go to japan and see the art so much! i hope you're soaking up all that im missing out on. i forget the name of the place that we studied but we studied this amazing rock garden thats very famous and the adjoining moss garden. it sounds so interesting. who thinks of moss gardens when they think of japanese gardens?

My name is Sammie, I am a half-Japanese American. I moved to Japan to know my family and our history, learn the language and understand the culture. These are the records of my experiences living in Tokyo. Check the archives for posts from previous months, click any photo for a larger view.
