Kyoto Umbrellas

Not much I can say about this post other than the title......

The first was one of the large umbrella often found at shrine or temples. The second was in the famous bamboo forest of Arashiyama.......

The other three were at shops...... the last one in Gion at night.........

A detailed view of Korakuen

Korakuen in Okayama City is one of the three top ranked gardens in Japan.

Before posting some shots of the garden, I thought I would show some of the details that attracted my eye. If you like koi, more posts here.

I also posted some shots of lotus blossoms from Korakuen earlier.

I posted a sequence of red umbrellas at Matsuo shrine earlier.

An umbrella at Matsuo Shrine

Just 4 shots of a red Japanese umbrella I saw at Matsuo Shrine near Kyoto.

My favorite is the last one.
