Miyajima. Glimpses of Very Familiar Japan

 


Considered one of the Three Great Views of Japan, Itsuhushima Shrine on Miyajima in Hiroshima is an iconic image of Japan.


A World Heritage site, it is also one of the most visited sites for foreign tourists in Japan, and therefore one of the most photographed.


So I apologize for posting all these photos. I normally like to focus on the less familiar sights, but the pilgrimage brings me here, so.......



Up the valley behind Itsukushima Shrine is Daisho-in, the temple that administered the shrine for a millenia.
















The previous post in this series was on the curious Umi Mori Art Museum on the mountainside facing Miyajima.

    My mother and I visited here just after a typhoon hit and many pathways were closed but I got some gat shots of workers climbing trees and fix electrical wires. Also, I got some shots of Japanese tourists and painted a watercolor from one of the slides (Yep, no instant ;photos back then) that I shot. Lily
