Japan trip, Day 4

On Wednesday, we began the day visiting the Sagawa Art Museum that didn't have much going on, except an exhibit of water colors on the “Silk Road” theme, a bunch of of bronze nude sculptures and some whimsical painting, to which I was able to contribute by posting my own drawings.

We then continued to Kyoto. This historical city was spared from the American air raids and saved from the atomic bomb during World War II thanks to its cultural and historical character.

We visited the famous Kiyomizu Temple, best known for its wooden stage that juts out from its main hall, 13 meters above the hillside below. The stage affords visitors a nice view of the city of Kyoto in the distance.

That night, we were able to unpack a bit as we stayed two nights in Kyoto.
