Photo Post: Japan

Things are just a bit busy in real life as I have now
spend more time with Peanuts but here.
It is quite impossible to squeeze 1000 pictures into this tiny post.
So, this will be a simple photo post (not in proper sequence)
in order to make things moving along.

As you know, we went to Japan during our recent holidays.
Glad to be there after talking about it so many years!
My love for their Japan's art & culture are more intense!

These are some of our personal photo shoots

which we took during the recent trip in Japan.

As you can see, I am into surface texture
as well as pattern design.

 The outlook of the shrine after another..

but this one is very unique in my opinion.

at Muji!

Love this shop! Too bad there's none in Australia.

 

Bookstore in Matsumoto

A very relaxing stopover

There are too many highlights in Japan:

the trip in Kiso Valley (Tsumago n Magome) and the hiking track!

Love the people in remote area than in the city's.

Friendlier and simple life.
