There’s a quiet gravity to the Yasaka Pagoda. Rising above the sloping streets of Higashiyama.
As someone who spends so much time framing fleeting moments, standing beneath a structure that has held its ground since 1440 offers a profound shift in perspective. It isn’t just a static location; it’s a living documentary carved in wood and stone, waiting for us to pause and read the frame. 🍂🎞️
Kyoto was the capital of Japan for over 1,000 years and is famous for its temples, gardens, and traditional culture. The bright orange-red color seen at many shrines is called vermilion and is believed to protect against evil spirits. The orange gates, called Torii gates, are symbols of the Shinto religion. Fushimi Inari Taisha is famous for its thousands of orange torii gates and beautiful mountain paths. ⛩️ 🇯🇵
