Kyoto, formerly the imperial capital where royalty held court for over 1000 years, is one of Japan's most beautiful cities. In the 21st century Kyoto remains the cultural capital with over 2000 temples and shrines.

Featuring:
  • Kyoto Train Station
  • 400 year old Nishiki Market
  • Gion Teahouses and Arashiama District Gardens including Tenru-ji Zen Temple and Garden
  • Moss Garden and Bamboo Forest
Remarkably, twenty percent of Kyoto's population is involved in the kimono industry making and displaying a wide variety of kimonos, with the most expensive and elaborate going to the traditional female Japanese entertainers- Geisha, Geiko and Maiko (Geisha in training).


Maiko serve a several year apprenticeship and the viewer is introduced to one of these extraordinary young ladies. Cherry Blossoms are Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and holds a very prominent position in Japanese culture. Most of the cherry tree varieties only bloom for a couple of days in spring and festivals abound! Himeji Castle was never destroyed by war, earthquake or fire and survives in its original form today.

It is considered one of three fine examples of Japanese Castle architecture in the world and is both a national treasure and a UNESCO world heritage site. Hiroshima is a graphic reminder of the costs of nuclear war.  Miyajima Island (Shrine Island), once the sole bastion of holy men, is now a popular resort destination with several sites of historic significance, roaming deer and monkeys atop 1700' Mount Misan.

DVDHD16 REVIEW: Discoveries...Asia: Japan - Kyoto and Western Honshu Island
This addition to Jim and Kelly Watt's high-def filmed Discoveries Asia travelogue series explores the "cultural capital" of Kyoto and nearby Honshu Island.

Featuring clips of temples and shrines (Kyoto boasts over 2000, including a famed 14th-century temple at Tenru-ji), various nature spots (including a look at a garden w/ 22 different kinds of moss, as well as a segment on cherry blossoms - the symbolic flower of samurais because "they know when to die"), and the modern train station built in celebration of Kyoto's 1200th anniversary, Kyoto and Western Honshu Island also offers viewers behind-the-scenes peeks at the life of a geisha, the kimono industry (fro creation to fashion shows), the floating Otorii gate UNESCO world heritage site, and monuments at Hiroshima. Recommended.

Cute!
Color: Green
Super cute and fun to use, easy to clean, appears to be very well-made. Excellent, especially for such a low price. I will say the only complaint I have is that the spout design could use some work; the end of it doesn't come out far enough so it dribbles a bit when you try to pour. Also, and maybe this is to be expected due to the use of natural materials, but there are a couple of small split pieces/splinters on the chasen (whisk) I had to trim. Otherwise perfect!

Beautiful gift for matcha fans!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
My daughter is obsessed with matcha, so when I found this for Easter I knew it was the one. She makes her own latte every single morning, so this fit perfectly into her routine. The packaging alone is gorgeous — the colors worked beautifully with the Easter basket without me having to do much styling at all. Everything she needs to make her matcha was included in the box, nothing missing, nothing to track down separately. I was so happy I stumbled across this, and she absolutely loved it. Honestly one of those gifts that just lands exactly right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
