23-25 October 2025
Friday evening Kodaiji began its fall
illumination. Even though the maple trees were just
barely starting to turn colors, there is always something
interesting to see. These are bracketed by a few photos
going to class in the morning, visiting the Kyoto City Museum
Saturday morning, and flying home...
