: Tokyo and KAMAKURA! Anime loot we got!
This past week we had a conference in Yokohama, so we went early and spent the weekend in Tokyo and Kamakura. The Japanese say that as Kyoto was a city of nobles, Kamakura was a city of warriors and the ghosts still wander over it.
It was a place I had long wanted to visit, not only to see the more popular giant Buddha statue but some of the smaller temples. The only one we ended up skipping from our intended visits was the Kannon shrine, as it was dedicated to the souls of departed children. Having learned of my pregnancy two days before, it did not feel like a place I wanted to go to at all.
Tokyo was fun, as usual. Still have to scan pics of our visit to the Ghibli Museum, but most photos from the trip you can actually find on my DA Japan photo account
Mostly I got Art poster collections for Fruits Basket and Yami no Matsuei, a couple of doujinshin and assorted goodies. HERE BE THE PICTURES!! ( Read more... )
