Inspirational break in Kyoto..

Chance to re-engage with woodblock aesthetics, visit the temple of all things Manga and sketch on the Kamogawa at sundown, One Cup to hand, lovers in kimono and geta sprawled decorously on the invisibly and effectively (if vaguely uncomfortable) propped up grass.  Cranes in the water… the sound of the city recedes, it is easy to see the past.
