When you enter temple areas you are supposed to clean your mouth and hands.
Westerners are excused (it might be just a Buddhist thing), but these fountains are found at many of the larger
sites.

The combination of bell, the traditional roof, and the setting makes this shot very Japanese.
(I guess shot on Japanese film with a Japanese camera doesn't hurt either).

These floors were cool - as you walked across them they would squeak like a bird.  The idea
was to guard the palace interiors by making walking across the floor impossible.

This is on the wall of Tosho-gu Shrine.  The hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil is apparently local.
Of course there are no monkeys to be seen anywhere.

I can't even begin to imagine how much work it must be to build these
temples with the details that are in them.
