| Kyoto on Sunday morning |
2 November 2014
One last Japanese breakfast, and then with a few hours to spare, we walked over to the Museum of Traditional Crafts and then to the Museum of Modern Art in between downpours. We watched an artisan painting silk and another embroidering with fine silk thread. At the Modern Art Museum, there was quite a fascinating collection of pieces from the 1930's curated with the idea of showing western influences on Japanese artists. (Of course there was the reverse trend in western art as well...) Then a quick lunch and off to Kyoto Eki and the airport for the long, but mercifully uncomplicated trip home. Since I am writing this from home, I am sitting with a stick of sandelwood insense burning so as to keep the fleeting sensations of Kyoto with me a while longer.
But of course it is also nice to be home.
