p.1 #1 · A Monk in Training



There in the Buddhist training center in Engyo-ji, a temple on Mount Shosha, a student endlessly rakes the barren ground in the temple complex. Perhaps he is doing this in meditation or as a penance for some infraction.

The temple is a large complex spread over the mountain top and away from the nearest city of Himeji, Japan. Because of its isolation, it was used for parts of the movie, "The Last Samurai".

Very cool - I recognize the location from the film! One never knows why without asking but it's fun to guess...

Beautiful and calm. It would have even been more so if the photo is taken wider to capture the bigger part of the woodwork construction, I think.
