...Not very long ago a traveler came to a beautiful Shinto shrine, somewhere between Osaka and Kyoto. The traveler thought she had somehow traveled through not only space, but time, and was floating in a period long ago when the Shoguns governed Japan.
The traveler blinked quickly and as she turned a corner at the shrine there was a wedding couple from long, long ago -- at least for a few minutes.
Wedding Wednesday in Japan
The traveler blinked again and it was 2015 and she was holding a cell phone, which would have shocked the shoguns and everyone else in long ago Japan. But for a few minutes the traveler had floated through time.
I hope you've enjoyed our visit through time. Tomorrow we move quickly into the present century with a giveaway -- I want to take a few more pictures in better light -- and a fun visitor.
As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.
Such lovely pictures. Was fun floating through time with you!
ReplyDeleteA little time travel is fun. Here the past is often discarded in lieu of more modern things. What a wonderful culture that honors it's traditions and rich history. You were so lucky to have a brief window of opportunity to look into this lovely place. How exciting to see a bride and groom too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post. I love that you saw this bride and groom on your trip!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, especially the second one. It is so serene! Thanks for a quick travel back in time ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, thank you for sharing. Blessings
ReplyDeleteLucky you to be there and witnessed the wedding!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful traditional wedding attire and location. I think if the Shoguns saw a cell phone in use they would have thought it black magic.
