Design is easy.....?

Always on the look out for design/film/animation/photo taking inspiration - Oh, and travel ideas, (although anything in Japan will always win hands down for me). Currently based in the North East of Scotland.

Sunday was spent in harajuku. Went to Meiji shrine which was busy as they get ready for the new year festivities and went to the usual shops and observed the lolita goths near the station entrance. Yesterday was Kyoto by bullet train. Fell in love with the place. Very different from Tokyo. Went to ryoanji temple,kitano temple,the golden pavilion which was stunning, Gion,the geisha district and Sanjusangendo temple with it's hundreds of buddha statues lined up,which reminded me of the terracotta army, couldn't take photos in some temples but have included some of the ones we saw. Be seeing some of you soon. :-)
