from watching sumo wrestling on tv to eating octopus arms sitting on the floor, it was everything that one expects from japan. all good things about a country with the most congenial population, are meant.
Actually, it was quite a scene. The sun did seem a lot bigger/closer than usual. =)
The picture was taken near Mt. Fuji, where people pray for long lives. In fact, they have a tradition there, where they boil eggs in sulfurous volcanic springs, upon which the egg turns black. Eating the peeled egg would supposedly increase your lifetime by 7 years. (No, I did nt eat the egg.) =p

Is the picture from a monastary?
