Dear Patients and Friends,
I wish you a Happy and Healthy holiday season!
Here are a few photos from my recent trip.
Traditional alley smack dab in the middle of busy downtown Kyoto.
There was a statue of Kannon/Kwanyin, who is the equivalent of the Virgin Mary in Buddhism, in the parking lot of a hotel I stayed at. They just built everything around "her" and renamed her the patron saint of travelers.
Street scene near Tsuruhashi, Osaka, where much of the novel Pachinko was based.
Sushi (sashimi) at a local place in Osaka.
Just a few photos to stimulate your curiosity/wonder...
Enjoy!
