It’s raining in Kyoto today so I again have an entire temple to myself. Normally the tea ceremony is done for a group, but no one else is here so I got a private showing. Jōshō-ji is famous for tea and a very famous geisha Yoshino Tayu is buried here. She donated the vermillion gate that welcomes you to the temple. The group tea room is very large but there are two other tea rooms on the grounds. They are normally closed but I was invited to view them as long as I took only memories. The tea mistress speaks no English but her assistant is quite fluent and gave me an amazing tour. Rainy days can be wonderful.

Wow!🙌 What an incredible experience!!✌️ I hope one day to go myself, one my favorite authors is James clavel and he writes fiction but with a lot of historical references, like in shogun, about the tea ceremony!!!😎

It’s really fun to have things come to life. There is a famous novel, the first novel called The Tales of Genji and it’s set in many places all over Japan but mostly Kyoto and it’s so cool to recognize the places. They also tell you quite loudly that this is a famous place but I still love it.
