Today’s Japan Photo: Bamboo 竹

We frequently see thick growth of bamboo being used as a scene in anime series (e.g. Kara no Kyoukai). For Today’s Japan Photo, we will be visiting one such bamboo forest in Kyoto.

early morning on the new year's day -reprise (near Nonomiya shrine, Kyoto)

This great-looking photo was taken by Marser. I really like this photo because it gives me the feeling that some ninja are just hiding in the thick bamboo around the bend just waiting to ambush me XD

    It’s a magical place, one of my favorite spots in Kyoto to be along with the sweet little town that’s right next to the forest.
