Continuing with my exploration of the aesthetic potential in Japan's favorite material,.... more steps!
An Escheresque view of the steps down sanbe Dam.
A very standard form of steps. These go down to the stream that run through Omori, Iwami Ginzan.
Of course concrete can be poured into any shape. These curved steps go down to the boat dock for the horikawa boat tour on the river in Matsue.
These lead down to a hot spring in the river at Tamatsukuri Onsen.
I really liked these that lead up into the Museum of Ehime History & Culture.
These last ones are not actually in Japan, but Seoul, Korea.

A whole lotta steps. Some are very nice looking.
ReplyDeleteI like the Ehime steps too! Good to see that you spend a fare amount of time in lovely Shikoku.
ReplyDeleteHey Justgotpaid..... actually only been to Shikoku once.... but will be going back :)
ReplyDeletethe top picture is great...looks like a watercolor painting...
ReplyDeleteOutstanding. The culture has made an artform of placement and design of steps. That's an outdoor (not-so) accidental art gallery by bringing them together as you have..
ReplyDeleteThey are superb!
ReplyDeleteNo flattery
