There was heavy snow overnight and this morning. Up here in the north there was a lot of snow piling up, but I went down Shirakawa to Ginkakuji and most of the snow was melting as soon as it fell. A couple degrees makes a big difference.

Great photo. Somehow it looks historic like from the 19th century.

Please, if you can help, it would be deeply appreciated. Will be visiting Kyoto in May and I am trying to find the street address for Hanazono University. There is no address on their website nor any e-mail link.
I stumbled on you rwebsite here and hoped that perhaps you could provide that information
Thank you
Paul

but isnt UKIYO-e mainly a portrait of relationship between men and women rather than landmarks?

Issues of Wikipedia valitidy aside, their article on ukiyoe says “Ukiyo-e, (浮世絵) ‘pictures of the floating world’, is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints produced between the 17th and the 20th century, featuring motifs of landscapes, the theater and pleasure quarters.” There’s also the 36 View of Mt. Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai, for prominent landmarks in ukiyoe.
