Welcome to Japan!

Posted on December 08, 2007 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

This is a Security Guard that I see at Zenkoji Temple quite regularly. Everytime I see him he gives me a great big smile and says "Welcome to Japan!". I think I’ve seen him about 24-25 times now this past year and he still hasn’t recognized me. So if anyone visits Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City Japan, you apt to get a big smile and a "Welcome to Japan" from this security guard. He is a great guy though and he always lets me stand around and take pictures of the people no problem.

Chalk Kanji

Saw this written on what looked like a Chalk Board, but it could be painting. It was kind of interesting I thought. Only a portion of the name or message was captured, enough to get the effect or texture I wanted.
