Hey, I’ve been there! It was a really beautiful place. I’ve got a really funny story from when we visited, involving my brother, a Buddhist prayer, and an outhouse.
Thank you, Roger.
I went there on my honeymoon, almost 30 years ago.
To the eye, the temple looked quite weatherbeaten – at that time, anyway, but the photos were glorious. The sunlight reflecting off the surface hid all the places where the weatherbeaten wood was exposed. I may never see the Taj Mahal, but I have seen Kinkakuji. That will suffice.
