Kyoto

17-22 April 2023

Barb studied ikebana at Ikenobo HQ by Rokkakudo Temple for the week.  Roger will post his activities during that
time separately...  On our way back from Osaka we walked from the Keihan railway, through Shoseien Garden and
past a concert by the main gate to Higashi Honganji where they were celebrating some big anniversary.  Both the
garden and the temple were lit-up at night for the occasion.
