Kamakura, Japan: The Zen Capital

[Muskogee Herbman]

I recently was in Japan, and will be posting another thread about my trip to Kyoto. I am posting these because they are spiritual spaces, and would love to hear some commentary on things that stick out to you, or maybe activities you would love to do in these spaces or compounds, basically just your thoughts on what you're seeing

I might be revisiting Japan with more in depth research on shrines, temples, and churches in Japan. This trip was primarily a study of modern Japanese architecture so these were side trips I made to get some beginning research into my thesis idea.

I might also be adding more to this thread depending on if I find more pictures that I'd like to show

I love Japan and really look forward to travelling there soon this year.

Great photos thank you, loved the stone statue of Buddha, do you have a close up by any chance?

I want to visit some shrines and temples, and i want to see Mt.Fuji.

So cool! The bamboo forest gets me flowing into Zen just looking at the picture.

Thanks for sharing!

I've been there. Very cool. Loved the giant old ginkgo tree and the lotus pond. Lots of other neat stuff too.

Such beutiful photos Herbman, I really can't think of a better place to go.

How Japan manages to mix up chaotic fun & spirtual calm all at once I'll never understand
God, I miss it so much.

Kamakura 8) I need to go!
