Tokyo Roppongi

Osaka castle

Matthieu Delattre — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 08:11:54 +0000

It was a warm day in Osaka. After a long walk through the modern Nipponbashi area, I was back in my feelings of the traditional side of Japan near the castle of Osaka.
I will express these dreamy traditional feelings on these pictures.

Tokyo Akihabara

Matthieu Delattre — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 22:27:14 +0000

The first time I went to Akihabara, my feeling was “It’s too much, I need to breath a little”. But When I went there again to take a closer look to electronics, I was feeling better and I take a closer look to this area.

I understand why so much artists like to go in Tokyo. So much colors, awesome architecture, different styles, different arts … (Traditionnal and modern)
To make it easy to understand about Akihabara, it is like the most “far” you can get from modern arts and modern culture in Japan.

Even if you are not a big fan of Manga, Anime and others like me, it is still very interesting.

Nara Yakushi-ji twin pagodas

Matthieu Delattre — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:28:00 +0000

I already saw pictures of the twin pagodas of the Buddhist temple Yakushi-ji in Nara, but an old man told me that they are more beautiful at night.
So I wanted to see them at night to take pictures and share them.
The old man was so right !

(Final pictures of the pagodas at the end)

On the way

I was so amazed by how paddy fields are beautiful and perfect (Distand area in SW of Nara City center)

This countryside area is so beautiful, and people are so kind.

Here we are, the west pagoda.

It is a very nice and peaceful area.

I walked around, waiting for the night. I meet lot of people on this long path.

The night begin to fall.

It's time, and the old men was so true. They are so beautiful at night.

Game over, it’s raining very heavily. Thanks to Japanese people passing by taking care of me. I found a roof to cover myself.

Bye bye, I will never forget this night.

The final result

Honestly, I think I will be unable to explain the feelings I had, but I hope you will like these pictures.

Final result : West pagoda (sai-tô), burnt in 1528 and rebuilt in 1980.

Final result : East pagoda (tôtô) is the only original 8th-century structure of this Buddhist temple. To me the most beautiful one.

Hiroshima Hijiyama Park

I walked a lot in Hiroshima city. Obviously, I went to the memorial area. But when I went to the Hijiyama park, the atmosphere changed. I was feeling so good, in a very peaceful place. It was the nicest place of Hiroshima to me.

I will try to express this peaceful feeling in my pictures.
