Kyoto Bamboo Forest

Tuesday, June 2, 2009
One of the best natural sights-to-see in Japan is the bamboo forest. I was lucky enough to find one on the edge of central Kyoto. It surrounds Nonomiya Jinja (Jinja or 神社 means "Shrine"), and also has a few cemeteries nearby. The whole place had a very nice zen feel to it - very quiet and peaceful. Great place to start or end any day.

Here are some pictures of the bamboo...it was near sunset when I got there so the light was very pretty. You could see the sun setting through the forest.

Took me about 40 minutes to bike there, and on the way I saw some farmland and couldn't help but take some pictures. Very cliche ones too :P.

Who is behind Dragonrain?

My name is Jay Lee, and I am currently an undergraduate student at a University of California studying Fine Arts and Digital Arts, though I'll be the first to tell you I've learned more from working than from the classroom. My preferred art mediums include: digital on adobe products, corel, web; fine on oil-on-canvas or charcoal; photography in black and white, with a focus on portraiture and music; and classical music on piano.

I work as a graphic and website designer with a primary interest in marketing and adverising. (Yes, the stuff you get spammed with - but I'll only claim credit for the prettier ones.)
